Is there really a ghost town called silent hill in the world?

No. Silent Hill was actually loosly base on a town in Pennsylvannia called Centralia. A coal fire is still burning underneath the town. It was evacuated, but a few people still live there. It is off the map, and the roads leading to it have been diverted.\n\nAs recently as 1981, there were over 1,000 residents living in Centralia, although the population has now dwindled to 11 (we'll say that again: 11 people) as a result of a 40-year mine fire burning beneath the borough (we'll say that again: it's been burning for 40 years... underneath the town). This is certainly not unlike Silent Hill, which was left deserted since devastating coal fires ravaged the town and its people.\n\nThe inferno started when a trash fire was lit in an abandoned mine pit in Centralia in 1962. The fire ignited an exposed vein of coal and spread throughout the mines beneath the borough. Several attempts have been made and millions of dollars have been spent unsuccessfully to extinguish this fire that still burns today. \n\nThe "problem" wasn't really acknowledged until a series of accidents in the '70s and '80s, including the appearances of sinkholes hundreds of feet deep. In 1984, Congress allocated more than $40 million for relocation efforts, and most residents moved to nearby Mount Carmel and Ashland.\n\nHowever, a very few families opted to stay, and they're still there, despite the fact that the state of Pennsylvania has condemned all the buildings in the borough and the US Postal Service has revoked its zip code of 17927. The 11 holdouts include the town's 89-year-old mayor, Lamar Mervine, who refuses to leave because "I like it here."

There is a haunted resteraunt in the town I grew up in called carousel Gardens...many people say they have seen a "ghost" there When I was 14 my friend and I went with her uncle to the resteraunt..which used to be the house of the womwn who aupposedly haunts it today, since my friend's uncle new the people who owned the place we were allowed to visit the attic part of the house where the woman's belongings where. We started to take photographs and later had them developed at the local pharmacy\nIn one of the pictures you can clearly see a white mass behind us, there were no mirrors in the room, only a velvet curtain hanging up...we were featured in the local paper, and the picture still hangs in the resteraunt...we were also contacted by the warrens, and they use our photo in some of their shows\n\nClick this link...we are the photo in the upper left hand corner\nhttp://www.carouselgardens.com/paranormal.html#firstrow

♡In my opinion, I don't think it's true, but you never know where your friend may have ended up! Sometimes stories have a way of 'growing' additional details after the fact. Actually though, I think your friend just may have landed at one of the many theme 'cafes' (Vampire, Maid...) in Japan, that's all.  For example:\nhttp://www.ne.jp/asahi/yueyue/moon/0404/diary_0404_14.html\nOR, The Silent Hill Maid cafe:\nhttp://www.kotaku.com/gaming/top/silent-hill-the-japanese-maid-cafe-183235.php?server=56&id=175237851&secret=b72508dfd0\nOR Little BDS:\nhttp://koakuma.littlebsd.com/foodanddrink/09.htm\nHe probably just ended up in Akihabara and not really understanding the concept or much Japanese, he may have 'misunderstood' what was going on...? Hmmm, he could have seen anything and believed it, probably just theatrics though! ～Why would your friend stay around and watch something like that anyway??!!♡

The stories say it is haunted.  I have been there several times and  I took lots of photos.  Nothing showed up on the photos (no orbs, mists, lights, etc.) and nothing unusual happened while I was there.  They do give special flashlight tours every Friday the 13th and at Halloween.  Sometimes they have ghost hunters come in a group.  No one has come up with anything definitive or all that unusual.  But, hey, you might get to the be the  lucky one!

I saw it and was confused... but my boyfriend explained it to me... he said that they all dies in the accident and someone took their bodies to silent hill. The others did get to silent hill, but they were alive so it looked a lot brighter and less foggy. the cop and the mom and daughter couldnt leave silent hill because they were dead... thats why the road ended when the cop tried to arrest the mother...

I have not encountered one, but I could literaly take a 20 minute walk to a building where I could see them. Waverly Hills is the hospital someone mentioned a few answers back. There was also the "Ghost Hunters" team from the sci-fi channel that caught a couple of glimpses of things that could not be explained, like the thermal resonance of a humanoid figure, about that height, in an empty hall. On the second-highest floor of a 5 story hospital, with all the exits blocked off after that was seen, they couldn't find what made the figure, and the odds of a technical glitch making an exact humanoid figure looking about 4 feet tall are astronomical by any standards.

If no one is around to witness it, does it really even exist?

I live in a really old city, that has plenty of hauntings.  I used to live in an apartment building, in an older part of town that is down the street from an old asylum (1800's), and not to far from old forts, and other potentially creepy things. It always gave me the willies walking near there.  Anyhow, late one might while I was sleeping I got a really weird feeling, I sat bolt upright in bed to see a dark shiny ghost ball hovering about 5 feet in the air at the end of my bed.  My son also had the creepy felling, and came in to see the ghost ball, it then "imploded" on itself. I moved 3 weeks later.

If you haven't played the Silent Hill games, you'll probably miss out on some stuff in the movie. It is pretty gory though. This one monster in it is made out of barbed wire and kills people with it. Pretty sick stuff, but cool.

Well I live in Sydney, Australia. In a place called Holsworthy. This area was basically all army in world war 2. Well the high school and the primary just up the road use to be gaol's (jail's) when the war was going on. Now most of the houses are haunted. We have a little girl haunting our place currently. She giggles and we can never find the source. Toys get moved around by unknown sources. Its pretty cool!

I am mad about silent hill i have completed all 4 about 5 times over each, i saw the film the other day and it was exccelent, it was not based on the second one though, it was based on the first one, and had music from the first three, \n\nwhich ending do you havea problem with, which is it u do not understand?\n\nif it is the movie that you are talking about, then it is this, the mother and daughter where dead obviously, anyone who hasa conection with silent hill, enters silent hill they are automatically dead, stops them from re telling the story. The father had no connection therefore did not see any of the horribal things that happen there. also silent hill (the other world) does not exsist it is the night mare that dhalia gillespies daughter has, adn anyone unlucky enough to get caught up in it suffers the pain too.

i love the Silent Hill games and when I saw the movie I thought it was very similar,but like you say there wasn't that much action, it played to much on the dark setting. i liked the Resident Evil movies, they're good and have a wicked soundtrack,and are so action packed. I liked both movies but I think Silent Hill could have been alot better.
