An Unnatural History of the Supernatural
Evidence for human belief in the supernatural can be found as far
back as the Paleolithic. Throughout history, humans have sought to
explore and explain their world by using the supernatural to fill gaps
in human knowledge and to create an explicable universe where human
rituals and actions can affect the gods and powers running our
lives. This photo essay examines the history of the supernatural, from
the earliest shamanic rituals to modern ancient astronaut theorists and
ghost hunters.
