Taking place on Earth as we know it, supernatural stories incorporate elements or attributes that are unnatural and unexplainable by science. These supernatural elements may be rumored, but a rational person would be shocked to discover they actually exist. Creatures common in folklore, urban legends, or superstition are often featured. Humans may also be granted supernatural powers, either by an inhuman being or through a paranormal concept that is defined by the "hidden" society.
Character traits alone do not determine if a story is Supernatural; the unreal elements should be prevalent throughout the story and necessary for the main narrative. Furthermore, supernatural elements in the story should occur within the normal world, and not within a self-contained and/or fantastical area only accessible to the main cast (e.g. the underworld). Unnatural abilities or afflictions should be within the realm of superstition and not be akin to magic. If the only supernatural aspect in the story are these powers and they are not based on a shared concept (e.g. manipulating one's blood), then check Super Power.
When searching for stories featuring creatures, spirits, or gods from folklore, the Mythology and Vampire themes can help refine your search.
