Not being able to hear specific statements from Joe Locke's character feels incredibly familiar to me, for some reason.

It reminds me of the self-censorship ability of Scott's sister in Scott Pilgrim vs The World, but I'm sure there are more relevant examples.

Frankly, I felt the authors abandoned the mystery so quickly as they weren't clever enough to write an actual mystery. I'm really not interested in the silly (and very American) witchy stuff.

Yeah its a very Disney take on witchery, which I do find annoying but can quickly edit out in my head and just watch it as a fantasy - I'm expecting/hoping it has some of the vibe of Legion but we will see.

No, that's just actual censoring of the language being used. I'm certain that I've seen this sort of obfuscation of information, as some sort of spell/curse, in another movie or TV show.

I’ve an idea I might have seen something similar on Doctor Who, but I can’t pin the memory down. Agree that it seemed familiar.

Wait, so Agatha and company are persecuted psychic aliens trying to make their way to a mountain refuge for a saucer flight to safety? That'd be a bigger twist than having it turn out Kang was wrong all those years ago and Aggie actually was the Celestial Madonna, not Mantis or Wanda. What? No, not that one. This one.

Gad, just read that Mantis page. And Marvel wonders why they have trouble getting new readers. Can't imagine why, their stories are so relatable and easy to follow.

it's MCU and well Wanda Multiverse, so who knows

but since you raised it I would love to say a homage to Witch Mountain appear in Agatha All Along

Yup. Same. Just let it be Ike Eisenmann, not The Rock.

Yeah, but in-universe (people ask her how she does it) and with a visual effect obscuring her mouth, much like this one.

I've seen a few similar ones. The one that comes to mind is Professor Slughorn's deliberately-obfuscated memory in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - when the memory is viewed, Tom Riddle's voice becomes faint and indistinct as he asks about what turns out to be Horcruxes.

Potter might be it, but I'm not certain.
