Supernatural
The word supernatural (from Latin: supernātūrālis) is used for things that some people believe are real, but that are not yet or cannot be explained by the scientific laws of nature. Because we cannot prove whether these things are real, people often disagree about these things.
Some examples of supernatural things are:
- Witchcraft and sorcery
- miracles
- precognition
- premonitions
- demonic possession
- souls
- spirits and ghosts
- religion visions
- wraiths
- phantoms
- shades, poltergeists, ectoplasm
- apparitional experiences such as "visions"
- monsters
- legendary creatures (for example, Sasquatch)
- God
- deities, gods, or kami
- angels
- Satan
- devils
- yōkai, yūrei or obake
- demons
- dybbuks or asuras
- Most topics in parapsychology
- Pets which can sense who is dying soon in a nursing home
