Say you have this show who has been airing for a while. The show may take some liberties with the rules of reality, but for the most part it takes place in the "real" world at the present day. Then you spontaneously get one episode that deals with the Paranormal. Maybe you get a Psychic who shows up and makes creepily accurate predictions, only to vanish and have the writers make you wonder if he was the real deal or a fraud? Maybe an opponent shows supernatural powers. Whatever it is, expect this to last the rest of the episode and never be mentioned again once the episode is over. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Almost inevitably, the viewer will be left to wonder if it was Real After All, or an elaborate scam played on the main characters. Expect the main cast to be divided on the issue, with some believing it is true, while others insisting there must be a rational explanation. A variation can be a show with no scifi elements suddenly dealing with the appearance of aliens, time travel or interstellar travel. Supertrope to Cryptid Episode. Contrast Mundanger. |

Zoey 101 has the episode 'The Curse of PCA' in which Zoey and her friends end up disturbing the spirit of a former PCA student due to Logan stealing a necklace that used to belong to said student. It should be noted that there's no "Scooby-Doo" Hoax for this example, noteworthy considering the show is set firmly in reality. | |

An episode of Rookie Blue had a man claiming to be a psychic help the cops find a kidnapped witness. In the end the cops conclude that it was just a clever scheme to provide them with evidence against a mob boss. Since the cops are not gonna call the 'psychic' as a witness in court, the mob boss will not find out where the evidence really came from. However, the man made quite a few predictions that come true including one that is fulfilled a couple episodes later in a very unexpected and tragic way. A wedding is called off not because the bride has cold feet but because the groom is killed. | |

PAW Patrol: Aside from the main characters being talking dogs, most of the show is pretty mundane: a rescue team solving problems in a small seaside town. If the show wants to deal with a more fantastical plot they tend to take the All Just a Dream approach. The episode "Pups Save A Mer-Pup", however, involved real mermaid/dog hybrids. | |

Patlabor is, at its heart, a Slice of Life, Cop Show/Police Procedural, with Humongous Mecha. But, during the 27th episode of the TV series, the SVU2 encounter ghosts, while holding indoor training execrcises in an abandoned building. It turns out that the ghosts were the spirits of earthquake victims, who once lived there. Their spirits couldn't rest because of an undiscovered burial site, which contained the remains of slain samurai, directly beneath the building SVU2 was training in. The spirits were lain to rest, once it was discovered, and rites were performed on the site. | |

CSI NY Mac going into the Afterlife Antechamber in Near Death and seeing his late wife. Another episode had the team dealing with the death of an apparent time traveller. It turned out that the man's "traveling device" was just a useless hodgepodge collection of computer parts and his apparent capacity to see the future was just some childhood brain injury having turned him into a game theory hyper-savant... but he was able to predict the time that his murderer would get himself killed (accidentally, by trying to use the "time machine" and fatally electrocuting himself) down to the second, which he left behind as a Dying Clue. |

Castle dives into this from time to time. One episode had them investigate the death of a ghost hunter in a supposed haunted house. Another episode presented the possibility of aliens, including what might have been an abduction. Castle is the Mulder while Beckett is the Scully, and usually all of the elements are explained by the end. However, one element will be left hanging with the hint that it just might have been Real After All. Another episode featured a guy claiming to be a time traveler who was heavily implied to be real. Yet another one had Castle go to an Alternate Universe where he never met Beckett. |

Seven Days, despite being a Time Travel show, typically deals with run-of-the-mill disasters. However, several episodes are either Alien Episodes (it's established from the get-go that the time travel tech is reverse-engineered from the Roswell crash, but aliens very rarely involved in the show). Some episodes do suggest paranormal stuff: "Stairway to Heaven": A backstep during a solar flare results in a long-dead woman coming back to life. "Pope Parker": The Pope might have some divine connection after all. "Time Gremlin": During a backstep, the Sphere picks up an extradimensional hitchhiker. "Revelation": The episode's villain is heavily implied to be a demon of some kind (or just a crazed fanatic). "Empty Quiver": A psychic helps to prevent the disaster-of-the-week. "Live: From Death Row": A Voodoo practitioner may or may not have caused a lightning strike that prevents the execution of an innocent man. |

The Suite Life of Zack and Cody had a "ghost" episode involving a supposedly haunted room. Zack ends up trapped in the room after his friends are all "taken" by the ghost. He backs up against a picture of a woman, which suddenly comes to life. Of course, it's a trick, pulled off with some Rube Goldberg-like gadgets. Curiously, no one mentions the picture when explaining how they did it all. At the conclusion of the episode, a woman who looks just like the one in the picture speaks to Zack... then walks back into the frame and disappears. | |

In one of the strangest examples of all time, Body of Proof introduced us to one of those stridently religious families that only exist in screenwriters' imaginations. Two of the girls evidently were demon possessed. One died of self-inflicted wounds while another began experiencing the same symptoms, including the use of similar special effects as those used in demon-possession movies, like impossible, inhuman facial and neck movements. Each one was given a BS "scientific" explanation, except one. In one scene, while in the throes of "possession", the second girl, who has never met medical examiner Megan Hunt and is significantly younger than she, looks at her and says something her father used to say when Hunt was a child. Near the end of the episode, after supposedly being cured, the same girl says another of Hunt's father's phrases in a deeper voice. | |

On Murdoch Mysteries these come up from time to time: In "Elementary, My Dear Murdoch", Arthur Conan Doyle is in Toronto to give a talk on spiritualism and invites Murdoch to meet a psychic Doyle finds compelling. Some of the psychic's information has a mundane explanation, but Murdoch is troubled to think she knows intimate personal details about his dead fiancée. The psychic returns in "Bad Medicine" and goes undercover at a hospital-cum-institute that studies people with unusual brain conditions. There's another seance to attempt contact with a young woman patient who died some years previously, and the psychic is troubled by a vision of Murdoch's impending death. "The Curse of Beaton Manor" revolves around a wealthy family with a history of early deaths. Some of the servants report hearing ghostly sounds and seeing an apparition of a deceased illegitimate half-brother. In "The Ghost of Queen's Park", a local politician falls to his death at the provincial parliament building, and the night watchman swears a ghost is responsible. Other workers in the building also report seeing a ghost, and Crabtree is keen to follow the ghostly line of inquiry. |

First Wave: for a show built around the concept of Alien Among Us, it still has a number of episodes that deal with the supernatural, although the central premise of the show does involve prophecies of Nostradamus being real (Nostradamus is eventually revealed to have been a psychic alien). In one episode, a teenage witch and a few of her friends seemingly save Cade from a Gua by causing an axe to fall on him from a wall with a spell. Another episode is centered around a girl having a near-death experience and quoting Nostradamus. Later on, Cade is able to induce a trance, which allows the girl to channel the long-dead seer, so Cade can speak with him. | |

The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries has two such episodes: The House On Possessed Hill dealing with a young psychic hunted by her neighbors, and Voodoo Doll, which presents stage magic as evidence of the Big Bad's real supernatural powers. A third episode, The Hardy Boys & Nancy Drew Meet Dracula, may count as well, though the supernatural aspect is met with skepticism, is suspected of being only due to the Big Bad's delusions, and when shown to be real at the very end, is only seen by Joe Hardy. | |

CSI: Had an episode with a psychic helping the CSIs. He died before we could find out if he was a fraud, though all his predictions did come true. A second episode involving a psychic had her predicting the specific place where a body had been disposed of (which spooked the murderer enough that he got rid of her to try to prevent discovery)... although in reality she had been giving off some New Age "the victim is resting in peace" advice and it turned out that the Heaven she was describing and the neighborhood had similar names. Grissom chalks it up to uncanny coincidence and collective delusion, but still laments that a woman died as a result. "Toe Tags", which had the stories told from the corpses' perspective, like they were ghosts. "Go To Hell": The Monster of the Week is a psychotic teenager that kills her parents... but the episode leaves it open whether or not the fact that her parents believed she was possessed by a demon was just their delusion because they couldn't confront her being so vile, or an actual thing. |

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex has no fantasy aspects at all, except for the 2nd Gig episode "Kusanagi's Labyrinth - AFFECTION". Major Kusunagi finds herself cut off from outside contact and seemingly alone in an empty city. She finds The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday: a store that somehow has stored memories and cyberbodies from her own past. The owner who tells her a story very similar to what happened to her when she was a child. Subverted thoroughly - the shop is perfectly normal, and the cyborg bodies are those she and Kuze had as children. | |

Mork & Mindy was pretty wild to begin with, but there was the episode where Mork declares Mindy's death mother's house is haunted. Near the middle of the episode, it begins to look like it's just their burnt-out hippie friend Exedor, hiding in the house and making weird noises. After Mork and Mindy sigh with relief... the house comes to life and horrible voices scream at them. | |

Green Acres: The episode "The Ballad Of Molly Turgiss" dealt with Oliver trying to get the denizens of Hooterville to tell him about the legend of the eponymous ghost woman. Every time Molly's name was mentioned, strange things happened, such as things getting thrown through the air, pickle barrels falling apart, Mr. Haney's truck starting up on its own, etc. In the end, Molly promises not to do those things anymore after Lisa had a talk with her and made her beautiful, though she does manage to break the promise for a few seconds by smashing Oliver's guitar over his head, because she did not like the song that he wrote about her. Another episode "The Saucer Season" involved Eb apparently having interacted with some aliens, which led to him becoming a celebrity about it, much to Oliver's chagrin. However, when an airforce lieutenant tried interviewing Eb about his encounter, Eb's attempts to tell the lieutenant about what he saw are censored by having him say "Bleep" repeatedly, to keep the facts in the dark. |

Friends had an episode where Phoebe says she has been possessed by the ghost of an old woman, who will only leave her body after she has seen "everything". The ghost apparently leaves her body after Phoebe goes to Carol and Susan's lesbian wedding. | |

Dexter's Laboratory, while not grounded in actual science or realism by any stretch, had one episode dedicated to the unhappy ghost of a deceased goldfish exacting revenge on his former owners. The episode becomes a Ghostbusters parody as the characters combat the ghost's efforts to abduct their souls into the great beyond. This is the sole instance of ghosts, souls, or the afterlife being addressed in the show, though supernatural elements such as kaiju and other modern fantasy elements are common. | |

In an episode of Night Court Harry used his magic hobby to convince another character that he was exorcising some evil spirits, at one point using a book gimmicked to shoot flames when you open it. After it's all over, Art (the janitor) comes in saying "sorry I'm late" and gives Harry the prop burning book. So... what was up with that other book? | |
