There was only one person recorded in the bible that was able to move in a divine way from one place to another by the Power of the Holy Spirit ~ Elijah [1 Kings 18:46] and one taken up by the Spirit by his hair ~ Ezekiel in visions to Jerusalem [Ezekiel 8:3], I have never read any other account which was closely similar until I read this snippet on the Welsh Revival...

SMITH WIGGLESWORTH ~ "Apostle of Faith" By Rev. Jerrell H. Miller
SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND—Paul Mercy’s life was spoken of by prophecy. It happened in a service in Wales. Smith Wigglesworth called two mothers forward in a service in 1933 and said that both would birth a baby within a year. Pastor Paul Mercy of Ebenezer Assembly of God was one of those babies, and the other was a woman who would go on to play a vital role in the British Assemblies of God.
Mercy spoke about the move of the Spirit and the effects of the Welsh revival. His father pastored the Pentecostal church in Cross Keys, Wales. The old stories of Pentecost are more than just legends. They tell a story of powerful supernatural testimonies of people who sought God and found Him when they were in need. Mercy spoke about a common phenomena that happened during the Welsh revival. Many people talked about walking off the front steps of their homes and being translated to the front door of the home church. The same thing would happen to people who stayed late in services. Coal miners who had to work the next day very often found themselves transported from the steps of the church to their own homes nearly two and three miles away. At the time nobody thought of this as being a miracle. It got to be a common place occurrence that happened to several people.
