This is the stuff of science fiction.
I have a little (very little) story along those lines. When I was about 10 years old my family vacationed on Sanibel Island in the Gulf of Mexico. I had just seen a movie that inspired me to put my name and address in a bottle and toss it into the Gulf.
Some months later I got a letter from a marine scientist asking where I had tossed the bottle (the address was for Jacksonville, on the opposite side of Florida).
Anomalies pop up all the time in science, and you just have to accept some noise as unexplained. I'm sure the person who found my bottle knows what vacations are, and probably shrugged it off.
But how can you test for the cause of anomalies if you don't have a history or a possible history? I don't for example, have explanations for all cases of crying statues, ESP, UFOs and such, but I trust my intuition about such things, and hold a placemarker for them in case one of them acquires better evidence.
This is the stuff of science fiction. Yeah, and I may have come up with my story idea for the nextNational Novel Writing Month this November.

Aye, there's the rub.

Pretty much the same.... Thing is, it bugs me as much, when scientists take a "It's not science, therefore, it doesn't exist," attitude, as when people try to add their religion to science.
I'll am interested in similarities and points of agreement between science and various mysticisms.... But I admit that's philosophy.
