Here is the real life American town that heavily influenced the Silent Hill movies town story. There's other videos on youtube aswell. Wouldn't wanna live there in that ghost town.

Thats amazing how its been burning since 1962, the cemeterys even has a greater population than the town and theres also post to be a time capsule that got buried in 1966 next to the veterans memorial and former residents will return in 2016 to open it.

its amazing when you find the towns/locations that fictional items are based on. COD 4 and Stalker, chernobyl imagery is incredible accurate to the real thing.

I just remember the first time I saw that video and heard about the place I was like ~~~~ that, no way, that's too freaky....to think a real town is laying in state like that and nothing really being done about it, is actually quite frightening when you think about it.

such a shame the town getting like that, but also weird that they are letting it burn by giving it ventilation shafts, surely if they totally blocked it in and cut off the oxygen supply feeding it, would have burned itself out by now?

I watched a documentary about Chernobyl the other night, my son came in and said 'oh it's that a program about Call of Duty?', lol, the game has got the town drawn out with amazing accuracy, and it's creepy as hell running around Chernobyl. :)

Back to Silent Hill, some of the shops etc in the last Silent Hill game were also taken directly from another town, luckily this one isn't being eaten by fire.
