Answer:

The supernatural experience described in the poem is that a man's grief is made excruciating by the utterances of a bird.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Raven" is a poem written by American author Edgar Allan Poe that was first published on January 29th, 1845. The poem tells the story of a man who cannot stop dwelling on his loved lost one, when he encounters a raven that is constantly taunting him by crying the word "nevermore". The supernatural power is represented by a talking animal, and the supernatural experience is the main plot of the poem, which is the talking raven taunting an already traumatized man.
