Several supernatural mystery series revolve around a mystery-solving supernatural being, or beings, such as Lucifer (demon) and Angel (vampire). It's more common for supernatural mysteries to be about regular humans solving very irregular problems - though by the end of a paranormal mystery TV show's run most characters have had their own personal supernatural encounters, such as Supernatural, Dresden Files, and Grimm.
