| 释义 | supernatural (once / 538 pages) adjn If you enjoy a good story about vampires, witches, werewolves, or ghosts, you like reading about the supernatural — forces, beings, and events that are beyond what can be explained by nature.

The adjective form of supernatural describes anything that pertains to or is caused by something that can't be explained by the laws of nature.
