The usage seems reasonable to me. > The preternatural is that which appears outside or beside the natural. It is "suspended between the mundane and the miraculous." In theology, the term is often used to distinguish marvels or deceptive trickery, often attributed to witchcraft or demons, from the purely divine power of the genuinely supernatural to violate the laws of nature. In the early modern period, the term was used by scientists to refer to abnormalities and strange phenomena of various kinds that seemed to depart from the norms of nature." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preternatural https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preternatural
