Line 49:
* In the ''[[Charmed]]'' episode "Sight Unseen", a stalker turns out to be a human woman and not a demonic threat after all.
* Although several of the earliest ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episodes had nothing science-fictional beyond The Doctor and his time machine, the only post-'60s story to feature nothing fantastical at all (apart from the presence of the main characters) was the two-part murder mystery "Black Orchid".
** The new series episode "Midnight", while it still had an [[Eldritch Abomination]] alien menace, was far more focused on the people of the episode, who grow more and more paranoid before nearly stretching to murder. What makes it Mundanger is that while the alien presence does manipulate people somewhat, the humans are the ones who are the real threat. A fantastic example of mob mentality. The episode is milked for all the [[Psychological Horror]] and [[Humans Are
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' had a minor villain in the school's lunch lady, who tried to kill everyone in the school by dumping rat poison in their food. Buffy had accidentally acquired telepathy at the time and heard her thoughts, allowing Buffy to stop her.
** The gang never actually thought they were dealing with something supernatural though, just a disgruntled teacher or student who planned on shooting up the place (Willow even prints off FBI mass murderer profiles so they can look for someone who displays what they list).
