Searches for new physics in the LHC Run 2 datasets have produced a number of excesses above standard model expectations. Three examples are particularly intriguing: paired dijet resonances, leptoquarks, and heavy long-lived charged particles. We discuss the details of the searches for these signatures and the prospects for further investigation, including the ongoing LHC Run 3. Notably, each excess has characteristics that differ from the model of new physics that inspired the respective search. This motivates the introduction of a more general strategy, anomaly detection, to search for unknown signal models.
