Default Supernatural and Paranormal

What is the difference you find, if any, between "supernatural" and "paranormal"?

To me, "supernatural" is an utterly nonsensical concept, while "paranormal" simply refers to things we haven't figured out yet.

It's all about definitions. To me "nature" is all that exists, therefore if a thing exists, it is automatically natural. Just because we haven't the foggiest notion of how x works doesn't make it somehow outside of nature.

"Paranormal" otoh, has become a convenient label for those things that may be outside of our current understanding of nature.

So the difference you see is that supernatural is an understanding of something outside of nature, and paranormal is outside our understanding of nature? Interesting.
