All summer long, FX has withheld the premise of American Horror Story‘s sixth season while offering up over 20 teaser videos that left us with vague, if tantalizing clues. We don’t know what we were expecting, but it certainly wasn’t the faux-History Channel docu-series My Roanoke Nightmare. But is this season about more than one of the great mysteries of American history? Have Ryan Murphy and his team started to tie the entire American Horror Story saga together? Today’s Nerdist News has the haunting details!

Nerdist News host and frequent occult investigator, Jessica Chobot, is here to share a theory that all of those season 6 teasers could have been leading up to the show’s grand design. That’s right, this season may actually incorporate giant straw men, demon babies, and misty monsters. And you thought that American Horror Story: Asylum was packed!

Speaking of Asylum, the second season of AHS may hold the key to everything. Remember the aliens who kept recurring throughout that season? Murphy couldn’t stop talking about them back then, and he often noted that in his mind, the aliens were the closest thing that the show had to a symbolic representation of God. Think about it, people. For once, that guy on History with the crazy hair may be right! Aliens could be the reason that the Roanoke colonists disappeared in the world of this series. And that’s a revelation that could potentially tie everything together.

What do you think is the connection between the AHS seasons? Has it always been aliens? Let’s discuss in the comment section below!
