Game of Thrones season five ended on a shocking note. The death of Jon Snow - and whether he will come back from the dead - has been debated endlessly since he was stabbed by his brothers of the Nights Watch.
Two fan sites, Watchers on the Walland Winter Is Coming, have posted details of the climactic battle currently being filmed in Northern Ireland.
Both claim that Jon Snow is very much alive, and leading an army against Ramsay Bolton, the blood-thirsty psychopath who's rivalling Joffrey as the show's most hated character.
According to the sites, the epic battle is being called by production crew "The Battle of the Bastards" - both Jon and Ramsay are both the bastard sons of lords - and features Wildlings and at least one giant.
Actress Sophie Turner - who plays Bolton's tormented wife Sansa Stark - has been spied filming near the battle scenes. Sansa was last seen fleeing Bolton's castle with Theon Greyjoy, and the sites are speculating that she may be involved in the fight.
The biggest upset posted by the sites is the sight of two "known characters" being burned alive. The sites claim that Bolton ties the characters to upside-down crosses - the sigil of House Bolton - and sets them alight.
The sites do not say which characters are to meet this gruesome end, but their deaths could rival the shock of the "Red Wedding".
