10 Ways the American Horror Story Seasons Are Connected

Beneath all these layers, we have the witches. Coven is a little trickier. Of course, the season takes place in New Orleans in present day, but what about the witches who founded Miss Robichaux's? Those witches were said to have fled Massachusetts after the Salem witch trials. In Murder House, the Harmon family initially moves to LA from Boston. In Asylum, Briarcliff is also in Massachusetts, so it's not far off from the Harmons and the possible origins of Coven. Could the freaks be connected somehow, too? Could there be a witch in their midst? Only time will tell.
