The premise of Supernatural begins with a classic American horror story rooted in family tragedy. Twenty-two years ago, (22 years old ,6’4ft) Sam Winchester was just a baby when a mysterious, supernatural force pinned his mother, Mary, to the ceiling of his nursery and burned her alive. His father, John, witnessed the atrocity and, consumed by vengeance, dedicated his life to hunting the unnatural things that go bump in the night, raising his two sons as soldiers in his personal war.
