Hurley isnt insane??

Here is my own theory on Hurley and his 'imaginary friend', Dave.

A few of you may have already heard part of my theory on the Shotglass podcast. Over the last few days a few more things have clicked into place and it has grown.

Firstly, I think that Hurley is not insane. I think he has the ability to see spirits. We see him in the season 4 premiere talking to Charlie, who we know died in the season 3 finale. I also think that his imaginary friend Dave, is the spirit of Libby's dead husband, who we know is called David.

I also think, Santa Rosa is an institute run by DHARMA for 'special cases' such as Hurley as we know another patient saw Charlie too. We also know that Lenny has heard 'the numbers'

This leads me to Libby. In a Des flashback, we see that Libby gives Des her boat, bought by her dead husband David. If we put this on top of the fact that Charles Widmore was trying to get Des out of his daughter Pennys life. This leads me to believe that Libby works for DHARMA. We know that Widmore has a lot of connections in one way or another, so, I think Libby gave Des the boat, on behalf of Charles, to make sure Des ended up on that island away from his daughter.

In the latest episode of lost, we see a fake plane crash. I also believe this has something to do with Charles Widmore. If we remember the quote "If you have enough money you can find anyone". How about, if you have enough money you can keep anyone hidden?

I think Charles has paid out for this plane to be planted to keep people away from the island. We know that he had connections with Maxwell in the Find815 game. So would this make sense?

Let me know what you think
