Placebo effect
Recent studies are also showing that the Placebo effect my actually just be an artifact of how medical research is conducted.

But on the whole the Placebo effect is very well understood. As is everything else on his list.

Re: About Me
Please start a thread with this. It will be lots of fun to tear it apart. I think Dr. Adequate will relish this as much as I will.
If you are going to propose this as a topic though, you will need to be prepared.
First of all you will need to provide evidence that all of these phenomena exist. Then you will have to provide evidence that the phenomena cannot be adequately explained.
Do you have what it takes to do this? If so propose a new thread. If you don't maybe you should issue some sort of retraction.
As for the Chatsworth crash, I do not see what is so spectacular about this. The guys cell phone randomly called numbers after the crash. I think that it is very explainable that this is something a damaged cellphone could do. Now to make it some sort of big wooo thing it would have had to call someone not on the cell phone directory and call someone after the expected life of the battery. Or is your supernatural world limited by cell phone and battery technology.
I am quite amazed that you purport this to be a serious list and include things that have a solid scientific explanation.
St. Elmo's fire, Deja Vu and Tunguska.
Then you include things that have quite well thought out hypothesis. Naga fireballs, Mammatus Clouds, UFO's, Spontanueous Human combustion.
And then you include a lot of new age woo and bunk that has no evidence whatsoever. You provide your so-called "evidence" and I will gladly refute it.
Who knows maybe you can convince me.
