appeal to authority.
this is when somebody that has power or someone that is well renowned endorses something to make it look better than it really is.
Example: the toothpaste commercials where they say 9/10 dentists recommend the product, people buy it because dentists are trusted.

ancient wisdom.
This is when something from way before our time has been discovered and used through out time (usually doesn't work because we know a lot more about this world now than before).
example: people will put things like the Buddha on their product to make it seem like it has been used through out these times.

confirmation bias.
this is when you dont know about something but will shut down anybody trying to show you the correct way or simply cause you heard that something inst right. you have a bias towards it.
example: if you used wikipedia for something during a argument, you will think you right because you have a bias towards it and wont listen to anyone else.

why i believe red herrings.
red herrings are actually very common, for instance if you are arguing with your significant other about something, to avoid the main problem they may bring up things that happened in the past, there for diverting your attention from the topic at hand.

why i believe in appeal to authority is simple, i see it on television almost everyday, the same thing in post #2, the toothpaste commercial has a man in a white lab coat that probably is not a dentist.saying 9/10 dentists recommend it, you don't know how many dentists were asked though and assume its valid because the TV shows a dentist.

i believe in the unexplained because without certain sightings and what not, these things have been brought to someones attention and therefore light was shed on it, since there is no explanation but people are trying to explain it means that someone somewhere would have had to have seen whatever is unexplained, and that small glimmer of hope is enough for me to believe it.
