Most of the people have been in the town for an indeterminate amount of time, with one having been in since 1999 and insisting it's been only a year, and another has been there a few weeks and has experienced (and aged) 14 years. The town is surrounded by an advanced electric fence which may or may not be blocking out all outside signals, with at least one advanced looking warehouse attached and filled with the cars and belongings of the townsfolk before they arrived, most of which are coated in thick dust, including Teresa Burke's car, which logically should have only been sitting for a couple days at most. Much of the technology and equipment connected to this seems relatively advanced (universal surveillance, files using thin metal containers and a "futuristic" font, those ''things'' just outside the gate). Either the townsfolk are being subjected to a strange form of TimeDilation which effects some people more than others, or they have been held in stasis for variable lengths of time and are only being released when the time is right. This adds some questions as to how Sheriff Pope and Nurse Pam can exist on both the inside and outside, but it could simply be that they are clones, or perhaps ReallySevenHundredYearsOld. In essence, Wayward Pines is the sister city to a ''different'' [[Film/TheVillage village]].
