妖異達

I'm unsure if this is a typo on ZUN's part or not. 妖異 is a word roughly meaning "mysterious incident/occurance" but incidents in Touhou are usually called 異変. There's only once incident in-game so far, so 妖異 makes no sense to me IMO. Was it a typo of 妖怪達? Was it not? I don't know. Input appreciated. —Ennin (talk) 6:06, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

My first guess is it's another term people use similarly to 妖怪 and 妖魔? Google indicates it's used in that sort of context in other media; for instance it's the JP name of a species in Final Fantasy 14, there's a historical fantasy novel called 妖異の棲む城, etc. I'm inclined to believe it's not a typo atm?

It's probably best if it's not "Apparitions" (since that was used for 妖魔 in EoSD). I think "unexplained phenomena" covers both things and events at the same time. Also a "shower" is passing and short-lived by defintion. How about "A Shower of Rain and Unexplained Phenomena"?
