I wonder if some of the stories did indeed happen in modern time storybrooke by our characters and ended up getting sent back in time and misinterpreted. Thought about it with Whale’s back story, how what happened with Daniel in Storybrooke could have been the story we all know…unless a monster was created with his brother or something as well…and maybe jack and the beanstalk is going to actually emma and hooks climb up there…..hmmm idk.
