The response to [this question](https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/37798/the-role-of-unexplainable-events-in-science-fiction) makes it clear to me that I haven't quite asked the question I had intended, the answers are useful but not quite what I'm looking for.

So different but related question; to what extent can one include events that can only be explained in-universe as "supernatural", falling outside the science of the setting before they're writing fantasy instead of sci-fi?
