Would you mind linking to that?
I'll describe one of the more major ones since I can't find my initial posts on some of it. I'll also detail minor oddities I experienced. Note: Not all of them but I'd be here awhile talking about people that either caused abnormal events or seemed to be able to do abnormal things or extreme coincidental outcomes.
One guy who I met through my work with veterans who tragically passed, had the uncanny ability to be able to see mental images and details of it or see people's mental imagery directly. He claimed he could only do it sometimes, and although my initial impression was that he did it via "cold reading" or reading body language, the problem is the first time he saw one of my mental images (which I'll detail in a second) he did it over a call-app (just call: as in you can only hear voices, like XBL)
In regards to the mental image, it started when a friend of mine was talking about nightmares he had recently and one of mine sprang to my mental imagery: it was based on a nightmare I had where I was in front of a white painted banister with a dark brown finish overlooking a door with a window seal next to it, Out the window I could see trees and forestry when a weird looking guy with a purple jacket and red pants walks up to the window doing some weird hand gestures when his face begins to change into an inhuman snarl eyes glaring directly at me as he begins to screech at me. I had that mental image in my mind as my friend was having a discussion about recent nightmares when the man I met through veterans interrupted my friend for a second and spoke to me he called my name and merely said "That vision of that guy in front of the window is really unnerving" I was confused as were the rest in the party because I hadn't told anyone of my recent nightmare. My friend who was the first to bring up the nightmares what he was talking about when the guy brings it back to how he can see "A weird looking guy with a purple coat and red suspenders pushing his face against a window looking in" at me.
He also did it a few other times when we hung out, once or twice IRL but most of the other times it happened over the app. Again in person I could believe maybe he could "cold read" someone at a heightened state, but over a non-visible connection? The only other question I have is how he knew it was my mental image and didn't just confuse it for someone elses or his own independent mental imagery?
He saw mental imagery of other people from jokes being told, some without even speaking on the subject such as my nightmare, and other people we knew in various situations he saw their specific mental imagery.

Back when I was studying the belief in psychic energy I tested some old theories of how one might be able to prove mind-link, mind reading, etc. I did a few random tests here and there in real life face to face with people who weren't aware I was doing the test in regards to them.
One day I was sitting in a black tinted (fully dark) truck when I see a lady sitting on a bench at McDonald's. So one of my experiments was to test "thinking at someone" with negative ideas and feelings. For instance: Thinking hard that the person is ugly. So I began focusing them thinking directly of them in negative ways as mentioned. The lady gets off the bench not long after the experiment began and walks over to the truck walks past the front seat, and stares into the window directly in to my eyes even though she can't see through it directly at me. She stands there for about a minute and then turns and walks off.

During this same testing phase I went to a mall nearby and tried similar tactic again doing the same process thinking things like "You're ugly" "Your clothing makes you look poor/ugly" etc. I'm walking near the book store after having no success when I begin walking to the side of a guy, right as I focus him I walk a few more steps when he turns angrily and looks at me and says "What'd you just say to me?" I at first try to reassure the guy I have not said anything to him, when he persists that he heard me talking shit about him. I persist in my denial hoping I have not accidentally said my thoughts out loud I turn to another stranger near and ask him if he heard me say anything he says he didn't hear me say anything outside of defend myself. The initial guy did not believe it and unequivocally tells me to get lost in a not so friendly manner.
Assuming this to be true, why wouldn't you be able to rationally explain this?
You are conflating a particle cultist that thinks reality is a bunch of tiny steel marbles and everything is just an expression of their travel towards entropy, with a person practicing science who is trying to rationally explain phenomena observed in nature.
There is no reason to think you could not find a rational explanation for many phenomena far removed from the particle marble model.
Although a normal "rational explanation" could suffice to answer that doesn't mean it is. A false positive or the opposite, but you are correct and it kind of goes along with my concept something is only super natural until it is explained by observation. Even something "unnatural" may become natural later on if some implication of how such a mechanic/etc. works becomes defined or obvious to observer's in the first place. Assuming such an event/concept/etc. is explainable in the first place.
However, some things/events I can not explain as simple hallucination, insanity or what have you with multiple witnesses just an example experiencing two sundays in a row with another person before. Assuming it is true and not made up how would one explain such an event assuming not insanity/delusion/drugs and in a "natural" way?
