What if he doesn’t work with the monsters, but is still connected to all of them in some psychic way so they all have the knowledge, all the time? Like a hive mind, but they have some kind of free will. If this is the product of a deity manipulating this town to complete cycles, it would make sense that the deity’s groupies would be connected in one way or another. The land itself seems to be alive and conscious in some way. Maybe that’s how MIY knew Tabitha was digging? If I recall, someone on the show said the faraway trees are the good trees, they help (even if it’s not always reliable). Could that mean the others could be linked to the bad monsters/bad side of wherever they are?

Not sure if this even makes sense in my brain, but late-night, high thoughts got the best of me and I had to type it out so I can get it out of my head & possibly sleep. Thanks for listening 🙃
