Whilst she survived the bloodbath that was episode 3 of GoT season 8 broadcast last Sunday, fans are wondering if Sansa Stark's days are numbered. On Thursday, April 25th, HBO unveiled promotional photos from the episode on Entertainment Weekly to tease the epic battle between the White Walkers and the armies of the North at the gates of Winterfell. And one of them caught the attention of internet users.

In the photo in question, Sansa Stark can be seen with her eyes reddened and sitting alone, obviously in one of the rooms of Winterfell Castle. It seems to be in the crypt, considering what happened at the end of episode 2, but the young Stark may not be so alone in this photo... on closer inspection, internet users discovered with horror that a blurry face is hidden in the background.
‘Who is behind Sansa? I'm not imagining things, there is a face there,’ wondered one Twitter user. And they are obviously not the only one, since multiple theories on the identity of this face have emerged over the weekend. ‘I'm sure the person behind Sansa is Littlefinger (Petyr Baelish) but it could also be a secondary character or something else... I’m sticking to this theory that says he isn’t dead!’ predicts an internet user.
Others suggest that it may be Arya, Arya with Baelish's face, or even Baelish returning to haunt his little protege after being turned into the undead by the Night King. Anyway, Sansa doesn't look safe in Winterfell…
