Wondering if in those days "supernatural" didn't mean the same thing to people-- that is, things we would consider so, they didn't back then...or at least it was all taken for granted, a part of life. Like precognitive dreams. My Hungarian granny had them all the time and didn't think them anything but a nuisance.
