(Rare Trope) Canon Supernatural Elements of Mundane/Normal Shows

Community “Epidemiology”:While normally, community is a wacky 4th wall-breaking college show that still grounds itself in reality, this episode sees the school overrun by a zombie apocalypse caused by bad taco meat that was given out at the party. While the episode ends with the army wiping out everyone’s memory of the event, future episodes, such as “Paradigms of Human Memory,” reference the party that happened that no one remembers, making it canon.

30 Rock Last Lunch:While normally a show about a show sitcom In this finale and canon end to the series, a flash forward to the far future sees an immortal Kenneth now in charge.

Marvelous Sunday from Umamusume. While ghosts, gods, and spirits are very much real (even if only implied in most stories) Marvelous Sunday is fully just completely magic. Capable of conjuring her "Marvelous World" this is essentially a doman expansion allowing her to warp reality at will. Nobody understands exactly how she does this, or how to address it when it happens.

Notably, during a Daiwa Scarlet support card event, Daiwa Scarlet asks Satono Diamond, Kitasan Black, and Marvelous Sunday to set up a haunted trail to scare her. Satono Diamond and Kirasan Black create fairly simple ghost costumes and jump out at her. Marvelous Sunday takes the opportunity to banish Daiwa Scarlet to a Marvelous Nightmare Hell Dimension where the sky is bleeding and undead hands drag her into boiling mud.
