Accepted answer
I think this is going to be very difficult to answer because the criteria are muddled and not subject to analysis by historical methods and techniques. Until/unless the following are clarified, the question is going to be subjective.
Someone will argue each of the examples below, because there are:
- no empirical evidence of miracles,
- no clear criteria to classify miracles and; (I am not qualified to judge whether an Islamic Shahid did or did not witness something miraculous)
- often no formal legal grounds on which an individual is martyred. (@T.E.D addresses this much more effectively in comments). Arguably the Yasukini martyrs were killed because of their belief in the supernatural status of their Emperor; I am not qualified to evaluate whether there are any miracles involved.
- No clear definition of Christian. I've been told that Catholics aren't Christian, that Latter Day Saints aren't Christian, etc. There is no empirical, objective test for Christianity.
The following are examples of people who died for their faith, where that faith involves belief in the supernatural
Burning times would fulfill the requirements. or Quora;
