The article analyzes the features of language representation of “supernatural” and “otherworldly” images in Charles Dickens’ story “The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain” (1848). The comparative analysis of the authentic text of the story with its two Russian versions - by F.F. Resener (1875) and N. Gal (1959) is carried out. The article also examines the basic principles of translating lexical units, word combinations and sentences with the component “supernatural” from English into Russian. The relevance of the research is due to the lack of study of translating linguistic units with the semantic component “supernatural” from English into Russian in the texts of mystical themes.
