The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is when you never noticed something or saw something before, and then you see it everywhere.

For example say you see a chipmunk in an area you never noticed them before, and now you just see chipmunks everywhere.

    There could be a logical explanation for the chipmunks. They are more active at different times of the year, and maybe there happened to be a prolific family of chipmunks near you this year.
