Abstract
The term “Supernatural” connotes act of God, re-animating the dead with positive results, elements of ghosts, zombies, and vampires. The essence of the supernatural is that it is something beyond our understanding, though we may sneak glimpses of its truth. The basic understanding of the Supernatural is therefore “something which does not belong to the natural world and cannot exist in reality”. The idea of the Supernatural began to mean different things in different cultures. Different academic disciplines view it and make use of it with varying emphasis and meaning.
