* Samantha in ''ComicStrip/SafeHavens'', while not so strange herself, keeps meeting and befriending bizarre characters, such as Roger (someone more comfortable in a mascot costume than out), Thomas (constantly hanging on a trapeze), Ming (avant garde film director), Remora (a freaking ''mermaid''), and Maria (a time traveler [[spoiler:and Samantha's KidFromTheFuture]]. During the cast's middle and high school days, they were part of the "other" clique, which was basically designed to be this, to give people who didn't fit into or was too weird for any of the 'cooler' cliques to join. Predictably, Samantha was one of the more normal members. Normal, however, is relative: Samantha is also a genius that found the secret to shapeshifting, brought back the dodo species ([[DoofyDodo for better and for worse]]), married her basketball star boyfriend Dave, commanded a mission to Mars, [[spoiler:''adopted]] [[GeniusLoci Mars]]]], and, thanks to the aforementioned time traveler, [[spoiler:is the grandmother of Creator/LeonardoDaVinci.]]

For some reason, the character is always standing at the corner of [[AlliterativeName Strange Street and Bizarre Boulevard]], in the town of uncanny valley. They run into situations or creatures that most people don't even ''believe in'', much less have to deal with on a regular basis. Through no fault of their own, they constantly suffer through the effects of the [[ParanormalTropes paranormal and supernatural]]. Alternatively, the character may not think of the weirdness about them as particularly strange; after all, this sort of thing [[SeenItAll happens to them all the time]]. However, if something starts getting surreal on the show, chances are, they're at the center of it.

** In ''Film/GhostbustersII'', when Dana finds herself and her infant son Oscar being menaced by the ghost of medieval tyrant Vigo the Carpathian, a deleted scene has her wondering why she attracts supernatural and paranormal threats, with Egon theorizing that she may have some genetic susceptibility to spectral interference.
