it seems like the first one at least was somewhat based on the town of Centralia.  Like Centralia, Silent Hill in the original game is a deserted town with numerous cracks and fissures in the streets.  \n\nI believe however that a great deal of Silent Hill was left up to the imagination of the creators.

I dont want to ruin it for others but I do recommend playing silent hill 4.  It brings them all together and explains a lot.  My fave was 2 though.

Hmm...Sound like you are talking about Cahokia mounds.  Small hills built by the Cahokia Indians, believed to be for burial purposes.  \n\nNow here is the tricky part...there is a town in the area named Cahokia...but the mounds are not there.  The mounds are in Fairmont City.

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...

Those communities are all in northern Ohio near Lake Erie.\n\nChecking my Ohio state map I find the Village of Waite Hill surrounded by those communities.

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

I have heard of it. I live in Pennsylvania.\n\nI always thought that the Hatfields and McCoys were the real names of the Capulet and the Montague families...LOL\n\n*NOTE*\nIf you actually understand the Shakespearean reference in my answer, you are probably WAY TOO SMART to be hanging around Yahoo! Answers.\n\nIf you are now wondering what the hell I am talking about...keep clicking away here at Yahoo...hoping that some day your thousands of Yahoo! points will actually be worth something!!!

In Coupeville Washington there is a haunted house.  I used to know the woman that lived there.\n\nYears ago an old woman lived there, two sailors broke into her home and found her there and killed her.\n\nThe woman I know who lived in it until recently said there were strange things that went on like she would hear footsteps and doors opening and closing.  There are pictures taken in the house that have typical blurry figures and faces in the fireplace.  The creepiest thing I think about the house is that there is a spot on one of the walls that looks like a scarry face.  This woman wisely put up a picture over the face to hide it (she has two young boys).  After a little while though the same creepy face appeared IN THE PICTURE she hung over the wall!\n\nThe Captain Whidbey Inn near Coupeville is also haunted, as is my parent's house and the houses of two of my good friends.  It's a cute but creepy town (a friend of mine who moved up there from LA said it looked like a town from a horror movie or that show Small Town X... Practical Magic and The Ring were filmed there).  \n\nIf you visit and are looking to get the willies, also head out to the forts at Camp Casey... they can be a little creepy at times, winding corrodors in pitch black and everything echos.  Now I think they are pretty fun but as a kid I got really spooked by them.

Yes, a movie is coming out that is about the Bell Witch of Tennessee. The name of the movie is "American Haunting" and it comes out this weekend (May 5th).\n\nThe events in the novel (which the movie is based from) are supposedly based true events from the legend of The Bell Witch that have been validated by the State of Tennessee and President Andrew Jackson as the only case in United States history where a spirit or entity caused the death of a man.

Gotta go with The Hills Have Eyes.  The orginal was creepy, so the remake might be darn good.\nHappy viewing!!!
