Coleridge blended natural with supernatural and gave a romantic touch to his poetry. “What is the supernatural?” Through the ages this phenomenon cannot be explained by the known laws of nature.

I began to imagine methods by which I can show some connections of supernatural elements between Charlotte Bronte’s Villette and Jay Anson’s The Amityville Horror. My obvious intent of finding

the Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle, Edgar Allen Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher, and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Young Goodman Brown are all Romantic literary writings.
