I remember someone in the "Most Disturbing Moments in Silent Hill" thread listing the "infamous 3rd bathroom stall" for Silent Hill 2. I'm playing through the game right now and have been anticpating this, but thusfar haven't seen it. I'm in the labyrinth right now, and am just curious as to what this is. If I've gotten there or not and missed, etc. I remember in the prison, one of the bathroom stalls being locked, and hearing a crashing sound after knocking on it as I walked away that made me jump, but that's about it. It wasn't even that big a deal either. On top of that, it was just a quick jump scare, not a classic disturbing Silent Hill scare, so that can't have been it.

Without spoiling anything, can you guys give me some info on this?

If I remember correctly, that was it. But after hearing the sound, you should go back and check the stall again.

what happens!?
I have SH2 and i've completed it 4 times, I'm nevah going back to that part of town again!

I believe I did go back and check it and there was nothing there, though maybe I'm mistaken or just missed it, and carelessly hit X near it, and thought there was nothing when nothing happened.

So if I missed something, go ahead and spoil it for me, since I can't really go back there

If i remember correctly the 3rd bathroom stall only makes a crashing sound and thats it. Its not really creepy its just one of the few "boo" type scares in SH2.

>and hearing a crashing sound after knocking on it as I walked away that made me jump, but that's about it.
That is really about it.

If I remember correctly, it's not bloody or anything like the one in Silent Hill 3. I didn't even really jump when I heard the crash. My friend did, though.

I nearly followed through when I heard the crash.

It's a scream and a loud bang...
Very unexpected.

And this sound is random... sometimes it takes a lot of work to get the sound to happen. And you can get the same sound to happen over and over again on the same playthrough by knocking, leaving, entering, and knocking again [repeat the process]. But it lost its charm to me for I've heard it a million times. I hardly ever go into that bathroom now anyway, because there's no reason to go in there.

Yeah...the first time I played the game it was a scream, like someone insane is angry at me. The second time it was like someone hit the door very hard.

I KNEW that would come, but it still made me jump. Damn.

Haha I remember this bathroom stall. Damn Silent Hill bathrooms!!! I remember, I was playing SH2 with my friend, and he doesn't like to play scary games, so he just watches me play. So it was the first time we'd ever played, and I walked into the bathroom, and it happend. I jumped, and he jumped and ran outta the room, somethin about going to the bathroom. My point?:

It's there to scare the shit out of you

I remeber when I first knocked on the stall. I was leaning on my chair when i heard that clashing noise and i fell out of my chair. It hurt. Whats with Silent Hill and having creepy bathroom stalls anyway? The world may never know

well it was a right place to scare me.... since it was a bathroom i got the crap scared outta me..... but maybe the same incident from silent hill 3 has something to do with it... when the toilet's covered in blood and other crap..... hehheh... i said crap.... but anyway, i think it has a connection... or maybe the company of konami are trying to say "Eat healthy, or else!".... well my geuss is that it was a silent hill demon.... the only explination.... demons have to go explodie in the kamodie right?...

The toilet bowls are considered portals to another world in Japanese myths. I'm pretty sure Team Silent mentioned it in The Making of SH2.

I never heard of that *notes it*
Got any Myths in mind?
I like read up on it

Lol... did they have modern toilets in japanese myths?

They don't have modern toilets in modern Japan.

Um, they do.

the first time i heard it it was like a graspy AAHA -- or something. I shot it about ten times, walked out, went back in and shot it some more nothing happened. Doesn't he say something like he had a feeling someone or something was in there?...

i remember the loud crash sound
