As promised in the Castle Rock Historical Society’s second Archive Dive episode, I’ve scoured my notebooks and gathered together a list of unanswered questions that we at the Historical Society believe will be integral in solving the many mysteries of Castle Rock Season 1. You may even notice a few questions added that weren’t mentioned in the episode… your hosts are only human after all.

  4. Who are the bandaged parishioners in the pews of Molly’s church vision?
  5. How did these people die? (If indeed they are dead…)
  6. Why does Molly use a timer when looking through the items in her secret Henry box?
  7. What is on the tape dated 11/23/89 that young Henry burns?
  8. Does Henry actually exert some sort of control over Molly?
