Paranatural

A webcomic by Zack Morrison. Paranatural takes place in Mayview, a small town inhabited by ghosts, that only spectrals can see.
Max Puckett just moved in (...in a 7/11 might I add...) with his sister and father. Max starts to see these ghosts on the first day of school, and gets involved in some pretty crazy ghost shenanigans with being a spectral.
Other characters include Isaac O'Conner, Isabel Guerra, Ed Burger, and Richard (Mr.) Spender.

Paranaturalism

A framework for understanding phenomena that seem to run parallel to nature—alongside it, interacting with it, but not fully captured by conventional naturalistic accounts. Paranaturalism suggests that experiences labeled paranormal (ghosts, psi, synchronicity) may be natural in some expanded sense, but operate according to principles not yet recognized by mainstream science. It's a middle path: not supernatural (outside nature) and not yet naturalized (explained by current science), but potentially natural in ways we don't yet understand. Paranaturalism keeps inquiry open where dogmatism would close it.
"I've had experiences—coincidences too meaningful to ignore, feelings of presence, knowing things I shouldn't. Paranaturalism says: maybe these are real, maybe they're natural, maybe we just don't understand how yet. Not supernatural, not delusion—paranatural. Alongside nature as we know it, waiting to be understood."
