She had her parents killed in exchange for her [[soul ]] as part of a ten10-year deal she made with a Crossroads Demon [[crossroads demon]] when she was 14 due to what is implied to be abuse by her father. <sup>[[3.15]]</sup> This was the reason the ghost ship allowed her to see it and why she was hunted by the sailor's [[ghost]].<sup>[[3.06]]</sup>

==Trivia==
* In the Old Testament, Bela is a city close to the sinful cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, but unlike these it was not destroyed (Genesis 14:2, 19:22).
* While her first name is a reference to ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula_(1931_film) Dracula]'' actor Bela Lugosi, her surname Talbot is a reference to Lawrence Talbot, the protagonist of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wolf_Man_(1941_film) The Wolf Man]''.
* She was 24 in [[3.15 Time Is on My Side]], making her about four years younger than [[Dean ]] and the same age as [[Sam]].* [httphttps://www.scribdslideshare.comnet/docJulesWilkinson/522843/Belasupernatural-season-3-casting-sides-3pgs bela Casting Side for Bela from June, 2007]. This scene between Bela and Dean was used to cast the role of Bela. The scene features a plot line that did not occur early in Bela's role in the show, and so it is likely this scene is either from a script that was substantially re-written or the scene was written specifically for casting.
* Bela frequently uses a stainless steel Walther PPK/s pistol chambered in the .380 ACP caliber, which is a slightly larger version of the Walther PPK, widely recognized as James Bond's choice weapon. This is a fitting small pistol for a someone who is a career thief and needs a light and compact weapon. Despite this, Bela has also been spotted wielding a Desert Eagle pistol chambered in .357 Magnum in episode [[3.03 Bad Day at Black Rock]], when she holds up Dean and Sam demanding the [[Rabbit's Foot]] back.
* [[Bela's Cat]]
* [[Bela's Car]]
* [[Bela/Jo]]
* [[Bela/Ruby]]
* [[Meg/Bela]]
* [[Bring Back Bela]]
