History WMG / Haven

The town was built on some kind of [[Series/{{Warehouse 13}} Artifact]] (or it ''is'' an Artifact) that continues to give people abilities and make them Troubled. Some of the Troubled left Haven, had kids and passed shades of their abilities onto their children. Over the course of generations, superpowers became a large enough part of the gene pool that people noticed, and those people are Series/{{Alphas}}. Naturally, this is all moving towards an [[Film/TheAvengers Avengers-esque]] team-up.

* Duke absorbed Kyle Hopkins' Trouble. He buried Wade and said he was going to bury Jennifer.

Howard mentions that Audrey isn't being punished with the barn. However Mara created the troubles, so it seems like it should be a punishment. But if Mara wasn't her original personality, it would explain. The barn gives Audrey a new personality each time. A door was opened to the other world, and only Audrey's original personality could hold it at bay. After releasing all of her love to hold the other world at bay -- she becomes the personality of Mara. Mara doesn't have an Agent Howard to guide her into the new world, and she eventually meets William, and the two create the troubles together. All of Audrey's previous personalities are only suppressed inside of her -- any of them COULD come out. But Mara's is the most powerful and capable.

* This could also add another layer to the way he's drawn to Nathan, if he subconsciously associates him with his first experience of the high that comes from his Trouble.

Refugees from another level of the Dark Tower came through the door under the lighthouse into our world (through what is essentially Todash Space). Said refugees found they had supernatural abilities in our world, and centuries of interbreeding between these refugees and humans native to this reality resulted in a hybrid population with a disproportionate number of strange powers. After trying and failing to fit in with mundane human society (points if references to Salem are made), they fled back to the portal from which they came. Under the leadership of Reverend Flagg (aka Byron Howard) and built the village of Haven on top of it, to protect it from outsiders, and made a rule that they would never interfere with the affairs of the outside world again. Maura and William broke that rule out of sheer boredom, messing with ordinary people, giving them random and uncontrollable powers (aka Troubles). Howard couldn't undo what they did, so he did the only thing he could with Maura and the Barn, both punishing them and applying at least a temporary resolution to the Troubles.

She'll basically have a Gollum/Sméagol style meltdown as [[spoiler: Audrey and Maura (and who knows how many other past lives) jockey for control of her body.]]

It's been discovered that, to end the Troubles for good, Audrey must sacrifice what she loves most of all, and everyone's been assuming that means she must kill Nathan. But that's not quite right. Lucy tried that with James one cycle before, and it didn't work. It's not Audrey that must sacrifice. It's not any of her past personas that must sacrifice. [[spoiler: It's ''Maura'' who has to. She must kill ''William.'' Nobody's figured this out yet because up until recently nobody even knew William existed.]]

This isn't someone that can be taken down with a couple of gunshots.

Caretaker of the Barn is not a permanent gig; new Caretakers are selected by the old ones when they reach the end of their service. Howard must have realized his time was almost up and groomed an orphan child for the purpose.

The reason she was connected to the Barn was because she was to be the next personality Audrey would take. But due to the interference, Audrey ended up elsewhere while Jennifer remained connected.

Now before you go saying "But she had a life before 6 months ago!", this is a universe where RealityWarpers, GenisLoci, and Shapeshifters are a dime a dozen. It really wouldn't be a big stretch to think that the Barn might have another form.

** [[spoiler: looks to be Confirmed]]

* Maybe they were a couple long before the Troubles started and way before Audrey was Audrey - the original personality. William followed the original personality into the Barn and was freed when it died.

A name on the list Jennifer receives is "Bill". And she and William are both connected to the barn somehow.

It may be something as simple as a {{retcon}} or ContinuitySnarl, but the fact that the tattoo's significance was apparent even in season one, would make this a very odd oversight for the writers to make.

Maybe future Nathan and Audrey sent her back in time to protect her and it was always her destiny to reunite with them.

And it's going to get ''really'' complicated.

[[WMG: The real Lexie DeWitt is going to show up.]]

* Jossed. [[spoiler:Duke killed him.]]

It seems pretty much certain once Jordan recruited him for her plan.

...because 1) troubles are partially belief based so it may simply prefer clean skin and 2) it makes it more difficult to create a full mask if there's a lot of damage. It'd be like re-creating a painting after it's been torn to shreds. Not impossible, but just time consuming.

It's Stephen King after all; a lot of his more recent stuff ties in directly, indirectly, or some how symbolically to TheDarkTower universe. And as of Season 2 Episode 11 we [[spoiler: learn that the Crooker family has a strange chest full of odd weapons. These weapons match ones seen in the Dark Tower series.]]

The troubles being the evils in the box and the Barn being Pandora's box.
