They have to be outsiders. I think they stumbled on to Storybrooke in their past (hence the flashback) and have been trying to study it ever since. Question is - why are they able to find Storybrooke in the first place? Can they leave? More importantly, are they the reason why the whole town knows something bad happens if you try to leave town? (unless that knowledge was part of the curse)
