Anyway, in SH2, that graveyard you visit at the end of the prison and fight with Eddy, it has Walter's grave there. Kind of sounds familiar, I remember it had James' grave, and I was like "whoo, crazy". Just an interesting fact anyway...even though the location for his grave in SH4 is different...sorta, still near the lake though.

I keep thinking about that phrase in SH2 written on the wall in some abandoned store "There was a hole here, now it's gone". I dunno, this thing always puzzled me, but playing SH4 reminded me of it for some reason... It just kind of seems like (and maybe I heard this somewhere else and forgot about it), that a very large number of people, for god knows how long, have been trapped in or have experienced the town of Silent Hill, in some way. Like, all the writings on the walls and stuff in each game (especially in SH4), you know that someone, at some time in the past, has experienced the exact same thing, for whatever reason. And there's other evidence of this in each game, like the fact that the places you visit and explore (hospital, subway, etc), feel like they have been previously explored by someone else, at some time. And those journals and diarys all over the place talking about strange crazy crap that people have gone through, and in some ways in connects to your current situation.

Yeah... And Walter is a god damn asshead.
I don't think the cemetery in Silent hill 2 was the actual cemetery where Walter was buried... It was just kind of like a place... I mean James wasn't really buried there... Neither were Eddie and Angela...

Another thing I don't get is in the document talking about Walter in Silent Hill 2, it says this:

"But I do remember that just
before they arrested him he
was blurting out all sorts of
strange stuff like 'He's trying
to kill me. He's trying to
punish me. The monster... the
red devil. Forgive me. I did it,
but it wasn't me!'.""

Which... Really doesn't seem like the Walter in Silent Hill 4... But I dunno...

Also there are a couple other things... in Silent Hill 3 (I think it was 3) they mentioned a "Hope House" which sounded a lot like "Wish House"... And it's basically like they changed the name for some odd reason... Even though it's the same thing...

Also in SH2, Laura mentions something about "Nurse Rachel".... and in Silent Hill 4 there is the deal about "Rachael", a nurse who lives in Henry's apartment... Could be another connection that for some reason is switched around (added the a to her name)... I dunno...
