The Big Bang Theory In Sleepy Hollow

Supernatural occurrences are defined as: unable to be explained by science or the laws of nature of, relating to, or seeming to come from magic, a god, demigod, spirit, or devil. Some people believe that the supernatural is a hoax or just some type of trick because they think it can be explained through a non-supernatural manner.
