Uncommon Happenings on the Common (and Beyond)

          A couple living on the Common reported to the police late Saturday night that they were frightened by a group of young men all dressed in black that had rapped loudly on their kitchen window where they were watching TV with the lights on and had run away.  Previously the homeowner had seen them skulking around the Town Hall and elsewhere on the Common.  Walpole Police responded, looked around and found nobody.  Later Walpole Police kept an officer on or near the Common for nearly an hour, but no one was seen.
