Yes, you could try Hell Girl/ Jigoku Shoujo. It's about a girl who ferries people to Hell by having them place the name of the person they seek revenge against on a webpage call Jigoku Tsuushin that pops up at midnight. The target is then given a glimpse of their worst nightmare before the Jigoku Shoujo carries them away to Hell.
And if you look into it and decide you like it, there's always Vampire Princess Miyu as well, as the theme is almost identical. Miyu is a Shinma(demon) who has been tasked with ridding Japan of other Shinma, but often fails, leaving most people in a state of despair over the damage that had inflicted to them by the Shinma.

I did try Hell Girl. Its episodic nature put me off checking out seasons 2 and 3. >_<; I might try Miyu, but I'm a bit anti-vampires at present. u_u;;;

Kekkaishi has been recommended, not sure whether you tried it. It is set in modern times, but is quite strongly supernatural. It is quite nice, and often mentioned with Shounen Onmiyouji, though not the same historical time, of course. SO is deeper, and Kekkaishi is funnier

For classical music I recommend Piano no Mori, though it is a movie. Very beautiful.

It's going on my list then. ^^ I was worried it might be too ero-ish or something, but I'll take my chances now. XD

Ah, Kekkaishi...my little brother watches it, and tells me it's rather good, but I was never really interested. XD I might have to give it a chance. And Piano no Mori! I love Kai! Is it really only a movie?

I'm also in need for something supernatural and suspensful... really enjoyed Shiki, took me just 2 days. Is there anything else like that which has suspence, drama and keeps you guessing? Because shows I started now aren'r that exciting =/

Ghost Hunt also was very enjoyable!

Just make sure it has an actual story, not just episodes. Mysteries are actually interesting and take time to be discovered, this is where Gosick loses it's potential so far. Characters that make you feel for them, in Shiki I sometimes had no idea whose side to take. And obviously some drama/tragedy, even better if it is supported with nice music.

An update on what flavor of supernatural I've been craving! :D

Hm...I usually like anything with supernatural elements, but lately, I've been really into the ones that feel...er...'deep'? I guess? And maybe just a bit light and heartwarming? (But not a LOT! A teeny bit.) Spooky is good, as well as slightly creepy or mind-bendy, but too much mind-bending puts me off the whole thing. >_< As was the case with Ghost Hound. >_<; And not too much blood and gore, either. Moderation, moderation.

Bombard me with lovely suggestions. :D
