I don’t recall the headpiece manifesting supernatural effects. I mean, there is the scene where the light shines through the headpiece crystal and makes a focused beam, but I took that as the faceting of the crystal and not anything supernatural.
Yeah like the entire show.
Nah. The film is rife with miracles. God speaks to John Denver over the radio–then appears out of thin air. He make it rain inside a car. There are probably even more instances, but I haven’t seen the show in years.
That was the Christmas episode. The Halloween episode also featured some pretty clearly supernatural elements involving time travel and ghosts.
More jarringly, for me, the generally skeptical and hard boiled (and fantastic) Veronica Mars featured two arguably supernatural scenes, one involving a TV psychic and one in which a hint of the ghost of Lily Kane distracts Veronica from getting on a particular bus.
In addition to firing a divine laser into the map (lenses do not work that way!), there is the scene where Marion takes it out and looks at it. As she turns it over, the crystal lines up with with a candle flame, which starts guttering for no apparent reason. It’s a distinctive enough event that Marion stops and gives the candle a thoughtful look. Those are the two phenomena I was talking about. I thought there was a third case, but I haven’t been able to bring it to mind.
That’s not supernatural, it’s science!
Actually I was referring to the last season - I think there was a bunch of supernatural stuff. I haven’t seen the show in years though.
If anybody has read the Wally Lamb book “I Know this Much is True”, there are some elements of magic-realism (I think that’s the term I’ve heard used) that happen.
I believe that was Mischief.
At the end of Ghosts, a tale about a dead woman and a medium, Carella swears he sees a ghost.
It has been forever since I’ve seen the film, but I always connected that with someone coming into the bar and wind from outside shifting the air, not anything the headpiece is doing. That’s right before she gets confronted by the NAZI thugs.
I never understood “The Stand” by Stephen King (then again, I find just about everything he has created simply head-scratching). It starts out with a human-created super-flu which kills most of humanity. Then, without warning, it’s a supernatural struggle between good and evil with the even more inexplicable ‘hand of God’ blowing up the evil camp.
Also consider “Lost”. I remember when it first started, the creators promised when the black cloud monster appeared that everything was going to be explained as natural phenomena. HAH!
The Right Stuff: Aboriginies sending bonfire embers through space to dance around the windows of John Glenn’s orbiting capsule.
One Tree Hill had several appearances by ghosts, as well as an episode where gunshot victims had out of body experiences while recovering in the hospital.
The OC had an episode where two characters are critically injured and travel to an alternate universe as a result.
I just ran the scene to check. The candle gutters at 28:19, exactly as the crystal points at it. Then Marion stares at the candle for a moment, looks at the money Indy handed her, looks at the medallion again, looks off into space and nods a little as she makes a decision, hangs the medallion on the candleholder, walks over to the bar, and puts the cash in the cashbox.
All of that takes about 30 seconds. Major Toht doesn’t open the door until 28:50. It seems pretty clear to me that the intent was to associate the event with the medallion.
Stephen King has said in interviews that the plague was really just a means to an end. His goal was to turn America into Middle Earth and then tell a story there. The plague was how he set things up.
An explanation that answers a question but doesn’t make things any more logical. 
Gee, I was thinking of The Luggage.
The Superflu caused so much pain, oh!
And with evil a raging volcano
Flagg’s triumph seemed certain]
Until King rang the curtain
By pulling a Deus ex Ano!
Don’t know if the finale of Battlestar Galactica counts…
…in that it definitely brought in some supernatural elements, but also revealed that they had been going on all along, so the show doesn’t exactly fit as non-supernatural
IIRC, this turned out to be John Glenn’s frozen urine in real life. The bonfire connection was more poetic license than anything else.
