** The "[[BigBad Echo Entity]]" (no official name given) is a primordial thing dwelling in the town's mines, acting as its GeniusLoci.

Its most insidious ability is arguably that of creating "ghosts" - copies of dead peoples' souls - which it uses to [[DemonicPossession possess people throughly]] and puppet them, essentially using a slave to enslave another. Though its atrocities likely number in the thousands, its cruelty is best seen in the Flynn and TJ routes, [[WouldHurtAChild where flashbacks show it destroyed Syd's life]] by possessing his father to be [[AbusiveParents abusive]], then him to bully his friends to the point Chase felt like he had to drown him to protect [=TJ=]'s life. In the former it tricks Flynn into being burned alive and being forced to become the monstruous Socket Man, the Entity's enforcer and puppet who travels across all of time and space to witness atrocities and kill whoever the entity wants, while in the latter it makes a deal with Chase to keep the truth of Syd's murder under wraps in exchange for Flynn's life.
