I encountered today, in the wild, an eggcorn that is not in the database yet shows 69k google hits:
"Unfortunatly you are blindsighted becuase you never has inspections."
Aside from the terrible spelling -- possibly caused by the writer's being slightly (and temporarily) sightily impaired due to an infection -- the word "blindsighted" appears to be a true eggcorn in that it convenes a logical meaning via an unintended spelling error.
