Can Science handle SuperNatural phenomena?

Presuming that supernatural things (can or do) exist, can we observe them and use to Science to detect and measure them?

There is a branch of academia dedicated to the study of the paranormal: parapsychology. The professors are largely regarded as quacks, although most of them are hardcore sceptics. It probably comes down to the question of how you investigate things which are either beyond or contrary to science.

That said, there is serious research which suggests that paranormal activity is more likely to manifest itself in the presence of electromagnetic fields.

so should we open a new field of science called meta-physics or something like that? do the standard laws and procedures of science apply here?
