For example, I could conceive that you could construct convincing evidence that the djinn of Islam exist. I don't know what it would be though.
What distinguishes the "supernatural" is not the in the supposed essence of the thing that is said to be supernatural. It is entirely in calculated refusal to tone down the claims in accordance to the shabbiness and meagerness of the evidence.
