I feel like Our Lady of Knock is a great quick one because the deposition is only 14 pages long and in English. There are some healings associated with it too, but not so much that it would take weeks to research.
The main skeptical thesis is conspiracy or magic lantern plus conspiracy. Both of these are terrible explanations. Also the priest just got done saying 100 masses (over 100 days) for the Holy Souls in Purgatory and given Ireland’s proximity to England, vindicating that practice with a very well verified apparition seems to be a massive blow to Article 31 of the Thirty Nine Articles.
Guadalupe is definitely on the list. I am a bit hesitant to do the shroud and Eucharistic miracles right now because a) there are some really good people already working on those, and b) there’s a lot of science behind them which I’m less confident in my ability to analyze. It’s not a no but it’ll probably be later down the road.

Yes, please do more on Guadalupe.
Also, would love to hear more about Eucharistic miracles, especially considering the objections made by Stacy Trasancos and Skeptasmic.
Finally, the Shroud of Turin!
