The Most Bizarre American Horror Story Theories Out There

Back when we were young and naive to the ways of Ryan Murphy, we didn't know we needed to watch AHS so closely. There were clues and hints all over the place and we didn't even know it.

According to an AHS wiki solely devoted to theories about Ben, the biggest clue of his mortal status comes in the episode "Afterbirth." In this episode, "there are flashes of Ben screaming the same things the ghosts are saying while he is alone in a room. In a close-up shot on his left hand you can see he is wearing a watch and ring that looks exactly like the ones Violet burned that we were led to believe belonged to Chad and Patrick."

Other theories suggest that Ben was murdered by his wife, Vivien, or that Vivien died in childbirth and he's in grief-induced delusion. You decide.
