Veriphenia

Veriphenia is a phenomenon where a pattern that appears to be coincidental or superstitious turns out to be genuine. From Latin veritas (truth) and Greek phainein (to appear): "true appearing."

Contrast With Apophenia

Apophenia is the tendency to spot patterns between unrelated things. Veriphenia could be, in some sense, "appears to be Apophenia but later proves not to be".
