There may be a ghost hanging around Winterfell, and were not talking about Jon Snows direwolf.

One of the most talked about scenes from Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 4 (besides the dragon ) was the sparring session between Arya (Maisie Williams) and Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie). First, that fight is just awesome, but, more significantly, it may have established Arya as the best swordsperson in Westeros.

Now, that scene is drawing attention for other reasons.

One fan thinks they may have spotted the actual ghost of Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) in the background. The moment happens right after Arya reminds Brienne of her vow to Catelyn.

You swore to serve both my mothers daughters, says Arya.

As Redditor GrennsGal points out, at the word mother, you can see a woman in a long green dress w/ long auburn wavy hair with her head down walking past the background gate, resembling Cat:

Uh, is winter coming? Because we just got the chills.

In George R.R. Martin s books, Catelyn Stark comes back in a zombified version of herself and goes by the name of Lady Stoneheart . She seeks revenge on the Freys for the Red Wedding, a role Arya has basically filled in Season 7.

Since the character wasnt included in the show, and because every line and appearance on Game of Thrones is so critical, fans think the Catelyn Stark-looking character in the background could be a creepy Stoneheart nod. After all, in the books, Stoneheart plays a critical role in Brienne and Podricks story.

Perhaps its even a subtle Easter egg for Martin, who has admitted he was disappointed that Stoneheart was excluded from the HBO series.

That was probably the first major diversion of the show from the books and, you know, I argued against that, and David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss] made that decision, he told Time.

When watching the scene from the latest episode, the mysterious character seems to appear two times.

First, you can see her when Arya says the line about Briennes vow to Catelyn:
