Y'see. That's just the thing.  I meet people every day
who know plenty about the occult.  They may not have
an accurate picture, but they can guess.

Now, I gotta give a Perfectly Normal guy some credit

first Unnatural check... or even if they don't.

I just assume that if players sort of start out having
made a few connections.  They've "been around a
while."
