Anyway, I've been poor as hell lately and have only played this on Xbox and at other people's houses. Since I FINALLY have money in the bank I'm finally going to buy it for myself, the PC version, though I barely even have $40 to spare at the moment, but I need to get it anyway.... so better quality screenshots (i.e., not made on an old pc video card hooked to an xbox) coming eventually.

Letter from Mom to Dad
“It’s a letter from Mom to Dad. She never sent me letters when I was in boot camp.â€
Adam, I know that you will soon return to me, but I miss you dearly and writing to you always calms my nerves. Everything here is the same, but with you gone, the house is so empty…

History of Shepherd’s Glen
The history of Shepherd’s Glen is one of opportunity and enterprise. First settled nearly a century and a half ago, its founders came here as pilgrims, searching for a new home to practice their faith and ensure the prosperity of their four families.
It soon flourished into a thriving small town. Shops and businesses sprang up on what is now Main Street. The turn of the century brought tourists, easger to explore the region’s lakes and rivers. And with tourists came more business.
In the 1950s, many of the original municipal buildings, such as the town hall and the library, were restored. Shepherd’s Glen as it headed into the new millinium managed to remain a close-knit community, maintaining the same ideals on which it was founded. One can only hope that the founding families would be proud, if they saw the town as it is today.

Electroshock memo
setting the electroshock machine beyond the seizure threshhold has yeilded impressive results in the patients. The most violent and depressed patients are rendered completely docile… The only side effects have been minor: memory loss, some dislocated bones, one fractured leg, and a patient bit off his tongue. This accident was quite a nice side effect as this particular patient was also one of our noisiest. I’ve instructed the doctors to continue with this intensity level for all treatments.

Nobody saw when you were crying on your bed.
I wanted to help you, but I hid myself instead.
The ticking of a clock, then suddenly not.
Fate left me here. In shadow I will rot.
Under my covers, the darkness kept me in.
Only the daylight can save me from my sin.

Father’s letter
I have failed, and they know it They blame me. They should. I swore to protect this town, but I can’t. The streets decay before our eyes. The curse we always feared has comes upon us. Worse yet/ The Order has returned, kidnapping and killing with impunity. Brainwashing those they take in an effort to rebuild their flock.
Whether they want to punish us for the exodus of our forefathers - or simeply breathe new life into the old ways, I don’t now. But they’ve taken our people. The only thing left is to face the source of this evil, to fight it, and pray that some hops can be restored. My sole consolation is that I’ve finally opened my eyes to the evil in Silent Hill.

What man loves more than life
Fears more than death or mortal strife
What poor men have, the rich acquire
And all contented men desire
What misers spend and the wastrels save
And each man carries to his grave?

Child’s Drawings poem
Where is Steven, mommy? He can’t play and I’m sad.
You mustn’t ask, my darling- Steven has been bad.
Billy too, and Sally? Did they do something wrong?
I’m afraid it’s true, child- all your friends are gone.
Beware of he who took them-he goes by many names.
The Bogeyman, the Shadowed One, but all are he, the same.
For every sin a child has, must be a punishment to bear.
Your friends are now beyond our reach: trapped deep within his lair.
Remember always to behave, for sins he won’t abide.
He wields a rusty, jagged blade, to cut out your insides.
The lying little children, with souls selfish and small,
Will find their wriggling tongues cut out, and nailed to his wall.
And if they take what is not theirs, there can be no doubt
He’ll stretch their skin until it snaps, and all the blood drains out.
The bullies with their spiteful wrath will find tourment as well.
Soon he will strike them where they stand and drag then into hell.
Child, you must obey your parents: do everything they say.
Little ones who do otherwise, he tortures in the flames.
Beatings cleanse the soul, they say, and that is what he’ll do.
If you don’t control his anger, you’ll feel his anger too.
You are your brother’s keeper, remember it always.
Or else, the Bogeyman will chain you beneath the waves.
And while good children live, bad ones cannot escape thier fate
For once you hear his screeching wail, it’s already too late.
So do not aloud at night stay hidden in your bed.
Or the Bogeyman from Silent Hill will come chop off your head.[/img]

Alchemilla Postcard
I long for the days before my illness
overtook me. From my window I can see a
large oak. The leaves are ablaze - yellow
and red - and with each day more of them
fall. When the sun is low, the shadows
from its branches fall
across my walls, but soon after the darkness
fill the room. Please come and see me soon,
I want to share one more memory with you,
while I still can. Love always.

"This postcard could be one of her
memories. There's a message on the back"
What a wonderful day! The smell of
cotton candy and the sound of laughter
filled the air.
Days like this make me appreciate what it
was like to be young and carefree. Family
is the most important thing- and our
children are the future.
I only wish I could feel that innocent
again. See you soon.

Alchemilla Postcard
I have some sad news to share.
Yesterday I took a boat out as far as I
could row - and I dipped me face into the
cold clear water. As I leaned over the
side of the rowboat my necklace caught
on the oar and the chain snapped. I saw
your precious gift slip into the blackness.
I wanted to dive in after it, but the water
was so deep. Please... forgive me.
I miss you.

Dr. Slater Memo
Dear Mr. Fitch
I was so disappointed that you missed our
appointment last Thursday. This is the third
time in a month that you've not appeared in
the alloted time. I implore you to reschedule
it as soon as you can. We've made such
progresss over the past few months - I can't
stress how important it is that we maintain
regular contact to ensure a speedy recovery. I
look forward to seeing you soon. Sincerely,
Dr. Slater - Cheif Resident Psychiatric
Dept. Alchemilla Hospital

For any readers looking to enjoy that
old Shepherd's Glen hospitality, you may want
to reconsider your options. I recently stayed
at the Shepherd's Inn, located conveniently
just outside the downtown area. While our
previous overnights at this location
were memorable, the year since their
Sesquicentenial Celebration has not been
good to our neighboring town. Our
accommodations themselves were inhospitable,
to put it mildly, and the staff gruff and
uninviting.
Even the Town Hall, once a friendly way for
tourists to learn about the area's culture,
stoof in disrepair. On day two... [the rest

Experiment Memo
--------------------------------------
The experiment failed. It was a shining hope for us
all, but the weakness of a few has darkened that light for us all. However, we will
survive, we must. Our purpose is too great to be halted and no cost is too great in the
service of our Lord. Shepherd’s Glen is lost, and its people are doomed to Hell and
don’t even know it. It falls to us, and our enduring Order to save them. We alone can offer
them salvation, and their salvation lies here in Silent Hill where we belonged all along.
Go, save them all. They are frightened and know not
what awaits them if they refuse us, so give them the choice.

Every child born of the flesh bears the Filth
of the flesh that created it
The lives of the un-pure are steeped in Filth
and their deeds and words spread Filth through the world
Even Death is not enough to cleanse generations

The only way to ensure these poor souls can live
pure lives is to cleanse the flesh from their bodies.

Through the Fog - A Skeptic in Silent Hill
by: Paul Scheible
Silent Hill: A town known for its mysterious
happenings and now-defunct cult, “The Order,†which was recently exposed by Detective
Douglas Cartland. But, what darkness really lies behind the simple veneer of this sleepy
town? Paul Scheible’s latest book chronicles his research during a two-year stay
in the town, including detailed interviews with long-time residents, cult documents
you won’t find anywhere else, and an appendix of popular local legends. As expected,
life in Silent Hill is far more mundane than you may have heard, and the “great evilâ€
The Order sought to find originated from the same abyss whence all religions
spring: nowhere darker than the fanatical minds of its followers.

Prisoner’s Letter
--------------------------------------
Kenny, I can’t wait to get the hell out of here. The
god damn cooks are the ones who should be thrown into solitary. In order to eat,
you’ve gotta have your light on, before the officer will put food on your tray. They
make you kneel against the back wall when they’re dishing it out…otherwise you get
nothin. Then the officer closes the window and you can eat your food, but then as soon as
you get started they come back to pick-up the trays. The meals are never fully cooked,
and sometimes the food is still cold in the middle. Also, they give you less than
what a grown man would normally eat. I’ve seen the officers scrape most of it on the
ground to make the tray lighter. We get juice, but it’s watered down, to be just like the
food - tasteless. The first thing I’m gonna do when I get out is eat a god damn cheeseburger.

When you’re notified you have a visitor, an
officer searches you, and then escorts you to the visitor area. You then get placed in a
cage, get un-cuffed, and wait for your visitor. For the right amount, officers will
let visitors bring things in. It’s against the rules, of course, but even high ranking
officers do it…I mean, who’s gonna stop them? After the visit is over, they strip you,
search you, and let you get dressed. Then you get cuffed and escorted back to your
cage. Seeing friends and family is the only thing that gives us hope. Dad, I hope
you visit soon. Until next time,

Ancient Book: Importance of The Executor of Law
--------------------------------------
In defense of The Tenets, it is necessary that one
person preside over the punishments of any members who have fallen from the Path. These
rulings must be based on complete understanding of the laws set forth and must be
executed without prejudice. The Executor Of Law must not waive in the responsibility
of enacting this power, he must declare his oath, in public forum, to uphold the
ideals of The Book.
In God’s Name, so shall it be.
=================================================
Ancient Book: Importance of The Keeper of Lore
--------------------------------------
To continue on the path we have laid before us,
it is vital that the people remember the road traveled. We must continually provide,
update and nurture accurate records of the past that cannot be challenged by outsiders.
Once the lore has been handed over, The Keeper
shall confine himself to an uncorrupted sanctuary. There he shall learn the history of
The Founders.
In God’s name, so shall it be.
=============================================
Ancient Book: Importance of The Performer of Rites
--------------------------------------
With the truth of the old believers fractured, it
is essential that one person maintain and effectuate the modern sectarian rites we
have toiled so faithfully to create and protect.
After taking up the mantle of this post, The
Performer Of Rites shall make a pilgrimage to the edge of the forsaken region to purify
himself from the sins of the past. There he will beseech the forefathers for forgiveness
and understanding.
In God’s name, so shall it be.
========================================
Ancient Book: Importance of The Master of Arms
--------------------------------------
In the pursuit of creating a more perfect Way,
rules must be followed and rules must be enforced. Any member who ignores this command
shall be dealt with swiftly and in view of all. This shall ensure continued prosperity.
It is, therefore, imperative that the effective
Master Of Arms not waive in the responsibility of enacting this power until his
last day in this life. In God’s name, so shall it be.
