supernatural encounter

Ghostly contact event

A supernatural encounter is an experience involving something beyond natural explanation—ghosts, spirits, angels, demons, or other entities not recognized by science.

The phrase typically describes a specific incident rather than general belief: She described a supernatural encounter in the old farmhouse.

Such encounters range from vague feelings of presence to vivid apparitions or communications with the dead.
