Known to myself, the supernatural are very evident through out his writings. In Macbeth there are witches, and ghost. Hamlet also has apparitions. A mid summer nights dream's main characters are of supernatural abilities being fairies. The most common is the appearance of the dead.
Ghosts. There are ghosts in Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth and a whole pile in Richard III. On the other hand, witches occur only in Macbeth, fairies in Midsummer Night's Dream (there are people disguised as fairies in Merry Wives of Windsor, but they don't count.), and "spirits" of some kind in The Tempest.
Hamlet (ghost), Macbeth (witches, ghost), Richard III (ghosts), Julius Caesar (ghost), Midsummer Night's Dream (fairies), The Tempest (spirits), As You Like It (god), Cymbeline (ghosts, god)

Why was witchcraft and supernatural important to shakespeare?
Witchcraft, the supernatural and the occult were an important part of life in Shakespeare's time. Queen Elizabeth had her own private astrologer, Dr. John Dee, and King James wrote a book about witches. Everybody believed in ghosts and portents. It seemed reasonable to put them into the plays, especially as the audiences loved plays with ghosts in them. They also seemed to like fairies, a favourite theme of Shakespeare's and used by him in two of the few plays in which he actually invented the plot: The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Both of these plays use the unreality of the fairies to point up the theme of life as a dream.
