  1. preternatural

    "1. Out of or being beyond the normal course of nature; differing from the natural.

    2. Surpassing the normal or usual; extraordinary.

    3. Transcending the natural or material order; supernatural."

    paranormal

    "Beyond the range of normal experience or scientific explanation:"

    With the exception of definition 3 above, preternatural experiences can be duplicated whereas duplication of paranormal experiences is not readily accomplished.


  2. There is a subtle difference, but they could be used interchangeably.  Paranormal is more commonly used now.
