Lana Banana[]

Lana Winters[]
Lana Winters is a lesbian journalist who is placed as an inmate at Briarcliff after sneaking over its' walls in order to get a report on the mistreatment of patients. It is here that she befriends Kit Walker and is also subjected to different methods such as electroshock therapy and aversion therapy involving touching a male patient's genitalia while touching herself at the same time in order to rid herself of her homosexuality (seen during this time as a mental illness rather than a sexual orientation.)
After her release from Briarcliff, she becomes a driving force behind the shutting down of the asylum over their cruel and unethical treatment of patients, as well as being indirectly responsible for the suicide of Timothy Howard. Her son by rape (Oliver Thredson) and the modern-day Bloody Face, Johnny Morgan, shows up in an attempt to kill her but she kills him in self-defense.
Lana later appears in the finale of the sixth season, Roanoke, where she does a one-on-one interview with Lee Harris, who agreed to the interview with Lana since Lee finds her to be more relatable, having went through a traumatic experience and killing her own child. However, the interview is interrupted by Lot Polk who launches an assault on several cops and plans to kill Lee for the deaths of his family. Lana attempts to talk him down out of this and is knocked out. She survives and is later seen on a news show while resting, comparing herself and Lee to dogs with a bone as once they get a hold of their destinies, they don't let go of them.

Larry[]
Larry was a townie that lived near the area of Camp Redwood in the 1980s. In July of 1984, Larry and his friends Keith and Pete went to the camp site dressed as infamous serial killer, Mr. Jingles, who allegedly murdered nine people at Camp Redwood in 1970. They dressed in Jingles' trademark raincoat and wore masks that resembled his face and tried to scare a new group of camp counselors that had just started working at the site. However, the real Mr. Jingles, whose actual name is Benjamin Richter, arrived at the campground and killed Larry by stabbing him in the neck with a knife. The man's ghost was one of many whose spirit became bound to the camp site environs. (AHS: Slashdance)
Lee (Coven)[]
Lee and his friend Roy were alligator poachers operating out of the swamps in New Orleans, Louisiana. Lee and Roy baited alligators with jerk chicken, noting how the smell of the bait confused the animal's senses, making them easier to catch. After shooting a gator, they brought it back to their camp where they found a Bohemian swamp witch named Misty Day. Misty admonished them for the lives they had taken and Lee pulled a gun on her. What they didn't know was that Misty was also a witch. She brought one of the hanging alligators back to life and it lurched forward, biting down on Lee's arm. Lee managed to fire a shot into the air with his gun, but it is safe to assume that the reanimated gator finished him off.
