  Gravitational wave (GW) ringdown waveforms may contain "echoes" that encode
new physics in the strong gravity regime. It is commonly assumed that the new
physics gives rise to the GW echoes whose intervals are constant. We point out
that this assumption is not always applicable. In particular, if the
post-merger object is initially a wormhole, which slowly pinches off and
eventually collapses into a black hole, the late-time ringdown waveform exhibit
a series of echoes whose intervals are increasing with time. We also assess how
this affects the ability of Advanced LIGO/Virgo to detect these new signals.
