The name of the type of thinking that Tara is engaging in is superstition or a fallacy.

Superstition is an unfounded belief. Superstition is to believe in supernatural things.

This is also a kind of falacy which is an unvalid reasoning based on no sufficient evidence, a premature generalization. Falacies are unfounded and misleading reasoning.
