I've had many similar experiences. You might want to search for J. E. Kennedy, capricious psi. And keep in mind it's dangerous to be around human or transhuman intelligences with unknown motivations. Also, yay updating on evidence! Whether the explanation is supernatural or not, the important thing is to keep many hypotheses in mind and not disregard evidence or hypotheses just because they're uncomfortable.
