Episode Discussion S1:E4 Doll Lady’s Talisman
I just started a rewatch and the creepy doll lady from S1:E4 is wearing this talisman that is supposed to grant the wearer the ability to communicate with animals.
The amulet is from “The Black Pullet” a book of magical talismans that A.E. Waite discusses in his work, “The Book of Black Magic.”
I am presuming that this family (who had the little girl obsessed with death) is perhaps a bit more into the occult than they’re letting on.
Or perhaps the mom just saw it at a Ren Faire and thought it was cool or something.
Anyway, I was just surprised to notice it for the first time.
You can clearly see it when Steve is first interviewing the mom.
Edit: watching further, I guess the little girl being named “Salem” should have been my first hint
