In the past few years Silent Hill has become a wild hotspot for ghost hunters and thrill seekers. The town has entered into a part of the American mythology of the supernatural, following in the footsteps of Salem Massachusetts, the Amityville Horror, Hill House, and the more recent Navidson House. Such good company can only inspire even more people to flock to Silent Hill, and it is with that in mind that I have created this compilation of strange events from Silent Hill.
For unlike these other spooked out places, Silent Hill is subtle and all but unobservable. It is my estimation that the town's true nature can only be discovered through the careful examination of the breaking down of sanity, rationality, and respect towards the sanctity of the human condition; and this can only be observed through the town's various media outlets.
I have poured over many modern texts and have selected four of Silent Hill's most popular reading materials as my main body of texts, accompanying them will be personal memos and some notes from curious sources. The main texts are: The Misty Morning Journal, the daily newspaper; Beyond the Veil, a conspiracy theorists weekly publication written by Ian Roberts; Integrity: Promoting Positively Equal Reporting, a weekly conservative news source; and the Silent Hill Historical Society Newsletter, the newsletter from the town's historical society composed by Professor Louis Guitteau.
I hope you enjoy this collection of strange and terrifying events from Silent Hill. More importantly I hope it persuades you to never come here, ever. The danger here, I feel, is all to real, and the subtle toll this town takes on one's soul cannot be measured. Enjoy this book, and remember these people; but should you decide to come to Silent Hill, be prepared to leave everything else behind.
