Glass...

Post by NightFlutter »

I've never heard the glass break in the Historical Society, ever...no matter how many times I've played. Is it one of those random things like the hotel sobbing? Cuz I don't recall ever hearing that either.

At first I thought it was a random scare thingy but as I played the game more I thought to myself "This gotta have some meaning to it". So I started reading some theorys and I found a topic named "The True Ending of Silent Hill 2" by: the Adversary.
This post is long, but it's an interesting theory and the breaking of the glass is brought up.

I'd better mark this as a spoiler.
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
The glass that is heard breaking is actually Ernest Baldwin stealing an artifact from the Historical Society. If you read the entire post you'll get the whole picture.
Edit: On the other hand, I've never heard the sobbing :?

I know the story behind it...I've just never triggered it, apparently.

Sorry didn't mean to indicate that you didn't know the story, just put it there as a reference. :wink:
But I guess it just hasn't been triggered, just as I haven't triggered the sobbing.

There isn't a glass breaking sound in the Historical Society... At least, this is the first time I've heard about one. The only other glass related sound is in the hospital, in one of the first floor rooms.

There is, actually. It isn't easy to hear, though.

And I think you were referring to SH1 with the sound of repeated glass-breaking in the otherworld director's room in Alchemilla.

Oh my.. You're right.. It's not there..
Well, my bad. I confused the sound of the glass breaking and the theory, with the hospital. Sorry, ignore my first reply then. :?

Nah, there's a glassbreaking sound in Brookhaven, too.

We're all confused! Ahhhh.

In room C2 of Brookhaven Hospital, there is the sound of glass shattering. In the display room of the Silent Hill Historical Society, there is the sound of glass shattering.

Room C2. Historical Society. Right-click & save-as.

Both statements are true.

The glass shattering in room C2 of Brookhaven always plays. The glass shattering in the Historical Society will randomly play.

Both statements are true.

I thought I heard somewhere that the glass shattering is mary breaking a vase or something. I don't know maybe I'm just making it up.

The historical society sound bite brings up a dead link. Which version of C2 is it in? Cuz I don't remember hearing it ever. Although I tend not to go in that room during the day.

The sound in the Historical Society isn't really glass shattering, more so a case or door being opened.

>I thought I heard somewhere that the glass shattering is mary breaking a vase or something.
It's an idea for my belief that Mary stayed at Brookhaven Hospital. We're not talking about the noise in Brookhaven, though

>Which version of C2 is it in?
The [otherside].

If I remember correctly, there's a glass shattering room in the hospital in every Silent Hill game, although the ones in SH1 and SH4 were the most obvious.

There... isn't a crashing sound in St. Jerome's. Or Brookhaven Hospital in Silent Hill 3.

Ooo...I remember the sobbing in the hotel. It was so...real.

I think I remember a glass shattering sound somewhere in that hospital. Or at least somewhere in SH4, but the hospital keeps coming to mind.
