I heard this noise when running along the dirt paths, there were like extra noises that sounded like extra footsteps and it creeped me out but I soon realized it was just me and my footsteps.

It's the story that happened yesterday, but I know it's tomorrow.

Really? I never noticed this is there a particular section of the game where this happens or is it just whenever?Squarehead wrote:No, there ARE phantom footsteps you hear when you walk or run for a while but they stop immediately after you stop to make you sort of question your sanity. Either that or my sanity is questionable.

Here's a link to a speed run video, the phantom footsteps thing happens at 2:34:

That's the dilemma of subtle details in horror (among other things): it's more mysterious, spooky and intriguing when you're not sure what's happening or if anything is happening at all, but on the other hand you may just end up missing little things like that altogether. It's most effective if you notice it yourself but sometimes you just need stuff pointed out for you.

Oh, heheh, come to think of it, i did read about the first 8 chapters or so of your novelization last december. I can't remember if i was thinking of Wendigo before that or only after reading it, in fact i can't even remember if i've ever even heard that noise myself.alone in the town wrote:No, it isn't just you.Squarehead wrote:For some reason i think of Wendigo from Pet Sematary when walking that forest path to the cemetery. Ain't sure if someone mentioned that there actually was a reference somewhere in the game to Pet Sematary or if it's just me.

I can't believe i earned 10 Silent Hill cash for this.

sorry for bringing up this old topic, but what i have to say fits in this thread.
i just recently heard a noise in a different place than the ones described earlier in the thread. when i went to go save my game at the well, i had my view on the red save paper in the well when i had to check my cell phone. i think it had been about a minute or two when loud running footsteps came from what sounded like behind me. i almost shit my pants, saved my game as fast as i could, and got the hell outta there.

Ive heard those footprints before. I hadnt slept in a while and was a bit drunk. I really thought I im imagined it but I guess I didnt. as for the phantom footsteps I always heard those every time I played the game.
Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. There is no spoon.

As for the forest noises
I thought they were dogs. But then I realized that there were none in SH2. Maybe the SH team wanted to make you think that a dog would lunge out of the bushes???
....way to freak me out SH team!!

lol. Whenever, I hear stuff like that. I freak, and turn off the PS2 immediately. I was sooo freaked, you have no idea. I thought it would just take like a minute or so, but NO. I was just standing that and all of a sudden I hear it xDDDD
