I've been thinking about this and it occurred to me that clairvoyance does exist in FTL (Rumple got his powers from the seer), so perhaps a legend/premonition/vision/whatever somehow made its way from FTL to the past in "our world" and morphed into the basic version we've come to know, even though it had yet to happen in FTL.

More than likely, though, I doubt it'll ever be explained.
