Supernatural
That which cannot be explained by science - psychic powers, other-worldly phenomena, things that go bump in the night and hide under the bed. Filmmakers have been tapping people's fascination for the supernatural since they first started cranking out celluloid. And who doesn't love a good ghost story?
