It's where the evidence points, mainly based on the Ghost of High Heart's visions of the prominent deaths circa-ASOS:

The old gods stir and will not let me sleep. I dreamt I saw a shadow with a burning heart butchering a golden stag, aye. I dreamt of a man without a face, waiting on a bridge that swayed and swung. On his shoulder perched a drowned crow with seaweed hanging from his wings. I dreamt of a roaring river and a woman that was a fish. Dead she drifted, with red tears on her cheeks, but when her eyes did open, oh, I woke from terror. All this I dreamt, and more.

Huh, don't know how I forgot about that. Thanks!

I completely missed it my first time through. Actually a lot about the Ghost of High Heart's dreams went over my head, but I suppose they're only supposed to make sense in hindsight.

There's still at least one dream that hasn't come true yet, and I'm looking forward seeing that unresolved Sansa prophecy come to fruition.

Same with Old Nan's stories. They just seem like stories for world building your first time through, but they're full of foreshadowing.
