Echo Town - The First Eerie Tale

The name Echo Town sprang up online and across social media. No one was quite sure where it came from, but a field day was ahead with it. The first eerie tale I ever became aware of was almost prosaic in comparison to what would follow. A patrolman working at a Romney Street station wrote that while he was performing the typical nightly drive through Echo Town's unnamed muddy lanes, he stopped his cruiser and rolled his window down upon hearing something unusual. He got out of the car and listened to a strange sequence of alternating sounds from within the bleak shadows of a cadaverous building to his right. There would come the firm double tap of a small iron object striking another one.
