Anomalous Events That Can Shake One’s Skepticism to the Core - Scientific American
This is a rare story - a widely known skeptic getting a bit spooked by a remarkably meaningful co-incidence (or more?)
It would be great if this sort of thing happened more often. Skeptics should doubt their skepticism a bit more often than they do, I think.
(I also trust that this isn't some sort of playing with his readership on Shermer's part.)

"The emotional interpretations of such anomalous events grant them significance regardless of their causal account."
Classic skeptic sentence.
