supernatural
Something that cannot be explained by the laws of nature or science. It often refers to ghosts, magic, or divine powers.
In dem Horrorfilm verfügte die Hauptfigur über übernatürliche Kräfte.

The word has a simple structure: the prefix 'über-' here means 'beyond' or 'more than.' So 'übernatürlich' (supernatural) refers to anything that lies beyond the natural and scientifically explainable.
Glaubst du an übernatürliche Phänomene wie Geister?

'Übernatürlich' (supernatural) is often combined with certain nouns to describe things that exceed normal limits. Typical examples are: 'übernatürliche Kräfte' (supernatural powers), 'übernatürliche Fähigkeiten' (supernatural abilities), or 'übernatürliche Wesen' (supernatural beings).
Der Held des Romans besitzt übernatürliche Fähigkeiten und kann die Zeit anhalten.

This word is found very often in stories, films, and discussions about fantasy, horror, myths, and religion.

natural / of course
'natürlich' and 'übernatürlich' both have to do with nature, but here they are opposites. 'natürlich' describes something that belongs to nature or can be explained by normal laws of nature. 'übernatürlich' means something that specifically cannot be explained in a normal way, for example magic, ghosts, or divine powers. The words can be confused because they look similar. The important point is: 'natürlich' is normal or from nature, while 'übernatürlich' goes beyond nature.
In dem Film glaubt sie an übernatürliche Kräfte.
