Outlander Theme of The Supernatural

Time travel is pretty supernatural by definition. Our definition being: that sure as heck isn't natural. Other things that fall into this category: witchcraft, ghosts, and the Loch Ness monster. And guess what? You'll find two of these three things in Outlander,right alongside the time travel business.

By the time she's fallen two hundred years into the past, Claire doesn't bat an eye at any of this supernatural stuff. It makes her a believer, you might say. To her, all this stuff isn't super natural… it's just natural. And in the case of getting to pet the Loch Ness monster, well, it's pretty darn cool, too.
