Forget Stranger Things: 15 Supernatural Teen Shows You Probably Missed

These shows might have flown under the radar, but they're packed with supernatural teen drama that gives even the Upside Down a run for its money.

1. "Dead of Summer"

Camp Stillwater seems like the ideal summer job for a group of teens in the 1980s. But, guess what? The camp has a dark, supernatural history. Ghosts, creepy rituals, and hidden agendas... yep, it's a far cry from roasting marshmallows and singing 'Kumbaya'. This isn't your typical summer camp experience. So, if you've been to camp, you might be grateful it wasn't this one.

2. "The Nine Lives of Chloe King"

Remember when turning sixteen meant getting a car or throwing a party? For Chloe King, it means discovering she's a Mai – a race with cat-like superpowers, destined to fight off human assassins. Balancing high school with being the 'Uniter' of the Mai isn't easy. Throw in some love triangles and power politics, and you've got a high-stakes cat and mouse (pun intended!) game.

3. "The Gates"

Move over, Desperate Housewives, this ain't your usual suburban neighborhood. Behind those white picket fences of 'The Gates' community lie vampires, werewolves, and witches living in secrecy.

School suddenly doesn't seem so boring, huh?

5. "The Secret Circle"

After her mom's death, Cassie Blake moves to Chance Harbor and finds out she's a witch. A part of a secret coven, she and her newfound friends harness their powers together. But power always attracts trouble, doesn't it? Dark magic, love affairs, and hidden familial ties dominate this tale. When they say 'high school is tough', they weren't kidding!

6. "Being Human" (U.S. Version)

Three roommates sharing a house – sounds normal, right? Here's the catch: Sally's a ghost, Aidan's a vampire, and Josh is a werewolf. They strive to retain their humanity, battling their supernatural urges. Picture this: wanting to make a sandwich, but your roommate's drained a human in the kitchen. House-sharing, the supernatural way.

7. "Teen Wolf "

Okay, you might have heard of this one, but have you watched it? Scott McCall is your average teen until a werewolf bite changes everything.

It's as bustling as Times Square.

12. "Roswell, New Mexico"

Liz Ortecho returns to her hometown and rekindles her high school crush, Max. Sweet, right? Except, Max and his siblings are aliens with abilities, and the government is on their trail.

13. "Beyond"

After a 12-year coma, Holden Matthews wakes up with no memory of the years gone by, but with supernatural abilities. As he tries to adjust to life, he's pulled into a dangerous conspiracy. Sleeping Beauty had it easy; at least she woke up to a prince and not a power struggle.

14. "Bitten"
