I love the episodes that had some type of supernatural twist...even if the "ghost" was usually to drive someone crazy. The ones I know of for sure are:
"Reflections of the Mind" (probably my favorite)
"Fire Burn, Cauldron Bubble"
"The Witch's Curse"
"Angel of Death"
"Nan's Ghost"
I think there was another one in Ireland--"Wind Around the Tower?" Might have the name wrong. Were they any others?
Menace, Anyone?
Curse of the Daanav
Prediction: Murder
Night of the Tarantula
Shear Madness
Danse Diabolique
Incident in Lot 7
Wind Around the Tower
Angel of Death
Threshold of Fear
Murder on the Thirtieth Floor
Murder in High "C"
Well, answers would perhaps also possibly depend upon whom you ask, as we are seeing upon this thread.
For example, "Supernatural" and "Preternatural" offer differing or similar concepts according to science, politics or Theology.
Science, which is usually very erroneous (just try to count the number of times each month when "Meteorologists" deliver extremely faulty and overly-excessively incorrect forecasts.), and so science uses these terms interchangeably.
Politics defines "Supernatural" and "Preternatural" occurences in a differing manner, such as when opposing candidates agree upon a battleground promise (preternatural), or when elected officials actually live up to working toward goals to benefit their constituents (supernatural).
Theology defines "Supernatural" and "Preternatural" as Good vs. Evil, or "Supernatural" a Heavenly intervention vs. "Preternatural" an evil occurrence.
Therefore, occultish flavored episodes from the mild
"Death Casts a Spell" to the surreal
"Legend of Borbery House," and from "he sinister
"Love's Deadly Desire" to the frightful
"Night of the Tarantula" may fall into the category at hand of preternatural type of episodes....
...whereas something such as
"Murder in the Electric Cathedral" or
"Seal of the Confessional" or
"Unfinished Business" would agreeably contain Supernatural elements.
But everyone's answers have already fallen into one category or another, so that means that many, many fans know your "Murder, She Wrote" in darkness and in light and at many points in-between.
If Sheridan were here, he'd be appalled.
hmmm Yeah - I would say "Night of Coyote" too - because anytime you hear them howling like wolves in westerns and stuff - then things get pretty eerie all right.
What is that other "Night of" besides Tarantulas and Coyotes - maybe - no that is not it either - oh okay - "Headless Horseman" - because that gets really scary too.
Also pretty unnatural is for Greg Brady to get to play something other than Greg Brady for a change of pace.
Back to the original question though - unnatural and supernatural events often happen in school, team sports and social stuff too, right?
Like in school - when you think you're going to fail tests and stuff - but then you don't - then that's like Supernatural - but when you get yelled at for something somebody next to you does - then that's pretty bad - but nothing unnatural about that either.
Or when the team plays something - then if they win - then that's pretty supernatural - but when the fights break out - before the riot squad arrives - then that gets really uncanny too - but that gets really pretty normal anymore.
And when some hot guy says, "Let's go to some dance" even when there is no dance - then that gets pretty supernatural - but how it happens every time - some nasty cheerleader intercepts him from you - then that is really, really mean and then you just cannot wait for something supernatural to come between them, right?
Mellow Salutations!
