The supernatural is anything above or beyond what one holds to be natural or exists outside natural law and the observable universe. Supernatural themes are often associated with the paranormal and occult ideas, suggesting the possibility of interaction with the supernatural by means of summoning or in trance.
In secular societies, religious miracles are typically perceived as supernatural claims, as are spells and curses, divination, psychic abilities, levitation, invisibility, telepathy and the after life (rebirth).
Characteristic for phenomena claimed as supernatural are anomaly, uniqueness and uncontrollability.
Thus, the conditions in which such phenomena are thought to manifest may not be reproducible for scientific examination.
