I like Richard Carrier's definition of "supernatural" as being the idea that there are minds which don't run on physical stuff (see his blog post). If there are such things, then naturalism (in the philosophical sense, not the nudist one) is wrong, so such things are supernatural. If there are ghosts and they're actually made of physical stuff, then they're not supernatural in his sense.
