The supernatural encompasses supposed phenomena that are not subject to the laws of nature. By definition, a supernatural manifestation or event requires a violation of physical law believed to have been attributed to non-physical entities, such as angels, demons, gods, poltergeists, etc. It also includes claimed abilities embodied in or provided by such beings, including magic, telekinesis, levitation, precognition, and extrasensory perception. The philosophy of naturalism contends that all phenomena are scientifically explicable and nothing exists beyond the natural world, and as such approaches supernatural claims with skepticism.
