Dad? Is that you?

Clever Redditor, fermiondensity, on the r/GameOfThrones subreddit spotted an unexpected soldier in the "Battle of the Bastards."

The Redditor's post pointed to a distinct headless horseman, noting that it looks almost exactly like Eddard Stark (post-mortem).

Clearly the post is meant as a joke, but still, it would be spooky to see dear old Ned turn up to fight along his "son."

Don't act like it can't happen in this show.
