Black holes, dark matter and dark energy seem to pretty much fit this description. They are, after all, inventions tacked on to calculations, in order to make theory and calculation fit observations.
It seems somewhat hard to understand why are black holes being included in this list - for objects that by their definition cannot be observed directly, there certainly seems to be a whole lot of a solid observational evidence for their existence, both in the case of stellar and supermassive ones.
True. Higgs Boson anyone?
