The preternatural or praeternatural labels things or events which appear outside (Latin praeter) the bounds of Nature as currently understood. One could consider that such matters belong in science's "too-difficult" basket.

The supernatural forms a sub-set of the preternatural, and assumes higher or mysterious powers.
