<p>Extraordinary Story of a Turnskin is about a warlock and a werewolf. Set in a trans-Carpathian land the story may be dated 18<sup>th</sup> century, but this medley of events, pictures and scenes could happen much earlier. New, stylish and truly ancient, the story suggests one more theory of werewolves’ origin. </p>

<p>Interesting question! I had always determined that 'supernatural' referred to creatures such as vampires and werewolves, while for me 'paranormal' referred more to aliens and I suppose ghosts. I hadn't really researched the origins of the words so that was useful information, thanks.</p>

<p>Yeah I'd agree. Paranormal (outside of normal experience) creatures are still governed by some laws of nature, while supernatural (above the natural world) are beyond any physical laws, and are more fun, in my opinion :-)</p>

<p>I think the meanings have become blurred, or at best, interchangeable. Supernatural is beyond nature or not subject to the laws of nature (the word dating back to the 16th century), whereas paranormal (20th century etymology) is loosely the same thing, but is actually outside the boundary of experience or explanation by way of science.

Supernatural is beyond nature or not subject to the laws of nature (the word dating back to the 16th century), whereas paranormal (20th century etymology) is loosely the same thing, but is actually outside the boundary of experience or explanation by way of science. So, an archangel would be supernatural, a ghost would be paranormal. Witches, wizards and shape-shifters would be primarily supernatural mythologically; however, both would work within the realm of the paranormal and/or occult, so they are a little in-between the worlds, perhaps. Vampires would be more paranormal, because they are subject to the laws that govern their own existence (nocturnal, blood and so on). I'd say werewolves were more in between, but closer to paranormal, though I think one is usually cursed to be a werewolf, so maybe a little occult in there as well.</p>

<p>My writing deals a lot with demons, but I have a question: would otherworldly beings based on religion be considered paranormal or supernatural? I've always considered angels/demons to be in the supernatural realm, but other may disagree. In my limited understanding, paranormal creatures are scientifically unproven beings of myth and legend (vampires, werewolves, aliens, etc) but still consisting of matter.

<p>I like to write stories about heretofore uninvented supernatural characters. Is such and such a character <em>really</em> a witch? or something altogether unique from that familiar label? I like to stir the cauldron of imaginings a bit and see what comes up. </p>

<p>I'm a seventeen year old, recent graduate and my book is called Innocent Destruction. The book is mostly about demons and angels. The second part of Innocent Destruction has demons, angels and zombies in it. My book even has to have a rating because of how violent it is. My book is on the best sellers lists as well. If you would like to know more about my book or myself, feel free to google Innocent Destruction by Brittany Bradigan and you can see it all for yourself.</p>
