A lot of people mention that I forgot the floating head. That is because it's not a haunting. It is not classified as such in the official guides, does not harm the player and it cannot be exorcized. It is an event/easter egg.
i was just telling myself this "oooh i wonder if he'll show the floating head thingy" but then i was like nawwww i dont remember it actually damaging my health back when i played it so probably not lmao
Hmmm, that's a useful info. But I want to ask,11:53 doesn't that voice belong to Joseph Schreiber? And since I've read this info I keep asking myself, why would he be a part of a haunting although he gave us useful info about Sullivan.
@@TheEquinox12s The official SH4 guide says it's Walter and it makes perfect sense. It makes no sense for Joseph to put a harmful haunting in the room. Joseph guides Henry with the journal pages and explains everything in their encounter. He might be a ghost, but he has retained his humanity and goal to stop Walter. Why would he put one of the most dangerous hauntings in the room and make Henry's survival more difficult? They share the same goal. It's Walter's distorted voice coming out the phone, and he is indeed watching us all the time.
@@MrEdcar007 I know right.. that voice has to be Walter's voice, I guess on UA-cam people misunderstood that, such as myself. Also it sounds like Schreiber's voice actor, maybe that's the reason for misunderstanding. But now it's so logical, that voice belongs to Walter. Exactly 👍 thanks a lot for SH4 guide info.
"To detect hauntings in your apartment, turn on the RADIO in the bookshelf near the living room windows. If you HEAR static, there are hauntings in your apartment. If you don't, your apartment is clear" I didnt know this :p i just wandered around my appartmentt to search for them :p
The sound design in this game is really astounding. As you approach those hauntings , the developers made sure you wouldn't want to stand them for long by using that creepy/eerie sound that evocates a strong primal sense of danger. Well , at least for me.
I remember when I first got the Walter portrait on this game over ten years ago, I got rid of it as soon as possible because I had a bad feeling that if I kept the haunting around for too long, Walter will come out of the picture and wander the room, and he will kill me the next time I returned to the apartment.
@@rocky_wang Nah don't cliche it... it is the Scariest actually cause portraits like those exist in reality... maybe not in your country but in mine and her too lol
i know this is old but i have to say this to someone. To this day i still remember this particular haunting when looking into peepholes. Not that i am scary of looking into them but Silent Hill 4 really left a wonderful scar in my memories. Great game with a deeply depressing and brutal lore, overlooked by it's gameplay flaws.
My absolute favorite is the Walter Painting. You get so used to seeing the picture if the church in your room, everytime you wake up, that its so jarring. Gave me nightmares as a kid, but plenty of chills as an adult.
ShadowLeggy same! After that, there were times when I was to scared to look through peepholes or open the door of my room because of the fact that I was scared of what could be (but wasn’t) on the otherside.
I finally got annoyed at losing health at my apartment, so I looked it up... turns out I have every possible haunting exept the ghost victim... and I only have like one candle and one medallion. Everyone advised me not to take the doll... but I took it anyway...
Now I have a mental image of blood dripping out of the TV and chairs floating upside-down and ghosts coming out of the toilet, and Henry just sits down to enjoy some Froot Loops totally oblivious.
You are like the THE guy in horror movie who despite the logical sense to run and hide or set trap, just to go and have picnic late at night drinking black coffee
I don't really count this as part of the original series. The original series goes from Silent Hill 1 to 3, as far as I'm concerned. This title is vastly different from the originals, which is why I hope you got to experience the first three games as well.
You know that the people who claim that 4 was not supposed to be a Silent Hill title are full of it, right? It has a different feel, that's for sure, but it is just as good. 2 is still better, but not by that much.
Thomas Kwiatkowski I know that. It's really good, but the first three games are still far better. Most Silent Hill fans feel this way. However, it has a few new elements that give me a different, very disturbing feeling which I really welcome. I love roaming around in Henry's apartment in the first-person perspective. It's just the experiences in the world accessed by crawling through these holes that aren't as effective as the experiences in the first three games. And you even have to go through each "world" (or however you can call them) twice. That's a little repetitive.
I wouldn't say so. I'm a long time SH fan and this is my favorite game in the series. The developers' aim was change, because they realized that the gameplay and formula has become stale by the release of 3, so they needed to innovate and lead the series into a new direction.
This game has really aged well. Definitely the last classic Silent Hill game. The rest were just decent at best (except probably the hypothetical full version of P.T.).
@@peternehemiah1606 PT was the most cringiest and generic jumpscare horror game ive ever played not even close to silent hill eerie and traumatizing series. btw SH4 fucked me up for months back in the day until now
I remember being a kid out shopping with my parents and there was a console at Best Buy where this game was being demoed. You could play the first twenty minutes of it, and I tried it out while my parents were busy shopping. This game scared me so much that I didn't say a single word the entire drive home, and refused to go to bed unless the lights were left on. Jimmy Stone's ghost coming out of the wall and the creepy noises that went along with it haunted me for YEARS afterwards. Of course, this was also the first look into Silent Hill games that I had ever had, so naturally I became obsessed with them. 😆
for those of you who don't know, the shoes don't appear in the kitchen just like that...you can actually see them walk there. Other then that, cool video
@@Supersayainpikmin I have never seen the shoes walking and this is the first time I am hearing this, so I doubt it. If anyone can guide me to some proof, please do.
@@MrEdcar007 yeah, they move by themself I've seen it twice in the xbox version. Happened to me in the second time you visit the water prision. You can hear the footsteps after you Leave your bedroom and if you hurry to the kitchen you can see them. Sorry for the bad english.
I heard this rumour but I have personally never seen it happen myself in the game, I played on ps2 and now have it on PC from GOG and hovered by the shoes multiple times and never seen it, I'd love to know if this is indeed true! If anyone can make or know of a video please link it!
Funnily enough I got Walter’s portrait on my first playthrough right before the final boss, I was preparing to walk out the bedroom door and took no notice of the portrait but by the time I was right up to it I got bombarded with the groan of the portait itself and the groan of the aura. To my horror I saw walter’s face in the portrait and shit a whole housing estate worth of bricks, I thought he was in the room! Never have I gotten such a fright in a videogame since.
I don't believe in looking through peep holes because if there is one thing I learned from one missed call is to always expect to get stabbed in the eye by a sharp pointy object.
Stallone's "D-Tox" still has me hesitant when approaching peepholes due to the use of a fucking drill. I haven't seen the movie since it came out and it still gives me shivers to think about.
I loved to leave the apartment completely haunted and not bothering to cure it with candles. It was always a complete mess of a nightmare everytime i visit it for a save >)
The only part that scared me was the cat in the fridge. First time I played this game, I thought is was my cat outside my door meowing! than I let her in, heard the meowing again and was like WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!?!? XD
I'm so happy I found this video! I just completed SH4 for the first time and I can't believe I missed out on such a gem of the game. I always wondered about all of the hauntings I didn't capture. This is seriously impressive. I'm about to lay down and watch it right now before bed. EEP.
Got this on GOG and it's my first Silent Hill title in the series. I couldn't help but imagine Henry exorcising these hauntings using stupidly simple measures. Like, for the phone haunting where Walter is like "I will find you, and I will kill you in your sleep. You'll never be rid of me, and-", so Henry just decides to cut the phone line with scissors after he's had enough. And then for the Walter portrait one, he would say "Haha! Remember me, bitch? Well I'm back as a picture on your wall, and this time-" and Henry just casually squirts some Windex on the portrait's glass and just wipes him away without saying anything.
Though it had mixed reactions from the Silent Hill Fanbase Both Purists and casuals. It still gave me the creeps in my teen years and why I had to avoid horror games at the time. I don't know, Silent Hill just has that Lovecraftian Feel to it. Cosmic Horror that really messes with the main protagonist's Sanity.
I'm glad I have never experienced it because his face definitely would have haunted my dreams. It's already disturbing enough to know that his crucified corpse had been hanging on the other side of the bedroom wall for ages.
The scariest hauntings I've ever encountered was the Walter painting and the Dolls. I don't think I've ever played a Silent Hill game this scary. Just thinking about them just makes my brain wanna run out of my skull.
I stumble upon Ghost Hendry in my first walkthrough because I always check the door and window everytime I return, wasn't expect that and it's scare the shit outta me.
Good compilation, ty. The hauntings were so cool conceptually, and aesthetically, but I think making you lose health was a bad design decision because you instinctively avoid them and don't really appreciate them. Maybe only losing like a tiny fraction of your health when you stand next to them would be better. Honestly that would be scarier than walking up and losing chunks of your health. More like a general sense of unease rather than imminent danger.
Didn’t know the “I’m always watching you” haunting was rare. Replayed this game a couple days ago and towards the end I had it replaying every time I came back to the apartment. I never exercised any haunting tbh. Towards the end of the game you’re rarely there for too long anyways.
I know this is like sooo old. But i remember a head falling out slowly outside and you can see it on the window and the head will face towards to where the player's current position at, slowly. It was spooky and kinda wacky at the same time
Is this true that sometimes when you look through the window you see empty Ashfields streets (with no running cars or walking pedestrians) ? BTW great guide!
Sometimes the "area of effect" for a haunting to hurt you is larger and wider than the range needed to successfully use a candle. For example, the clock will begin hurting you before reaching the chair but in most cases you must place the candle on the chair to clear the haunting (this is most prominent in the PS2 version). This can actually be vital due to altering the game ending.
You don't need a medallion for visitor Jimmy or the peephole, just place a candle below them. Works just as good. The telephone voice is Joseph Schreiber's, not Walter's.
I did see all of the hauntings during my time i played this except for Walter’s portrait. The voice coming from the phone occurred to me only once, but i never got Walter’s picture. It must be extremely rare
I think this game truly deserves a remake. Not to mention, add some more paintings and deleted stuff from the original. It could be made scary as hell .. This game was far ahead of its time.
god, every time I watch some SH4 hauntings footage, I can't help myself but to feel really sorry the game was so bad in all other aspects. It had INCREDIBLE potential
The voice in the telephone haunting actually belonged to Joseph Schreiber, the 15th victim and the previous occupant of Room 302 before Henry. He was the "good" ghost who would later warn Henry & Eileen about the 21 Sacraments.
Guys, there is one unreleased scene of Eileen getting haunted and proceessed when you peep her through the peep hole, some youtuber have post it, you can check it if you want
I remember the first time I seen the ghost come out of the wall. I screamed and ran out of the room. As soon as I did and he came in the livingroom, ran in the bathroom, when he emerged there I freaked out and ran again to the laundry room. I hated that haunting because I was scared that ghost was going to come out of that wall fully and kill me. I never used a holy candle so quickly.
I never saw the Walter rotting portrait either, I'd probably shit myself if I did saw it, you'd think it would trigger sometime before you make it and Joseph's inky ghost talks to you (or after?) I still feel like it was a missed opportunity for a haunting in Eileen's room, like you look in the peephole and that fucking giant face of her is in there now looking directly at you, that or Robbie the Rabbit just randomly is sitting someplace else in her room, or doing her daily chores like she did...or just starring at you right in front of the eye hole. LOL
Thank you for going through them all. I’ve only played through the game once and I think I messed up on a fair few of the hauntingly so I think I need to go back and try again.
In my first playthrough I unlocked every haunting except for the peephole one, and I think the cushion chair. Though I'm not sure because I could never identify it and exorcise it. No wonder I obtained the worst ending. At least I excel at something!!!
Staying too close to them without a Saint Medalion or a Holy Candle will kill you. You willl end up getting 1 of the 2 bad endings if you dont clear them
How many hauntings can you have? Like are there more hauntings than candles that can happen? I'm currently playing the game but I feel as if everytime I come back to the apt there is always a new haunting
I find it weird how PT was met with praise yet this was the black sheep of the first 4 while having the most similarities. The originals are great but imo nowhere near as scary as 4...it just gets to you on a different level
A lot of people mention that I forgot the floating head. That is because it's not a haunting.

SCARIEST SHIT EVER.
In my opinion, Walter's portrait is the most scariest haunting ever!
Totally agree!
Agree very much. This one scares me the most - this, and the kid in the closet.

It would be scarier if he follow you with his eyes.
Alex Townsend ps2 didnt have the graphics for that
ahh those were the daysss
The Walters Portrait one I only ever had once but is the one I remember the most. Utterly terrifying!
Which haunting do you think is the scariest? For me, it's a toss-up between Walter's Portrait, the Shadow Child, and Ghost!Henry.
Walter's Portrait. It's just so wierd and out of place...
And all the others aren't? XD
They are close but Walter Portrait is so rare that I'm not used to seeing it that much. The other ones I'm used to by now.
Hm.
What about the least scariest? For me, it's the wall cracks.
I agree.

I did see all of the hauntings during my time i played this except for Walter’s portrait. The voice coming from the phone occurred to me only once, but i never got Walter’s picture. It must be extremely rare
THANKS A LOT for This work video! Such news, it is important for all of us.
This was well illustrated. Good job!
I must've played this game 100 times and I've seen all the hauntings except Walter's portrait
I've read somewhere that having the doll in your item box will increase the chances to get the Walter's portrait haunting.
So Walter's body is behind the walls of your bedroom in your apartment? Wtf that is the scariest fucking thing I have ever heard.
I think this game truly deserves a remake. Not to mention, add some more paintings and deleted stuff from the original. It could be made scary as hell .. This game was far ahead of its time.
Incredible that some are very rare, I shit you not I got all of them in my first blind play through.
awesome video!!!
Great job, thank you :)
god, every time I watch some SH4 hauntings footage, I can't help myself but to feel really sorry the game was so bad in all other aspects. It had INCREDIBLE potential
4:42 I always thought that was Joseph showing up in the haunted TV. Seing as how he's upside down later in the game too...
The voice in the telephone haunting actually belonged to Joseph Schreiber, the 15th victim and the previous occupant of Room 302 before Henry. He was the "good" ghost who would later warn Henry & Eileen about the 21 Sacraments.
The SH4 Official Guide says its Walter.
@@MrEdcar007 Oh OK lol, I didn't know that. It sounded so much like Joseph.
Guys, there is one unreleased scene of Eileen getting haunted and proceessed when you peep her through the peep hole, some youtuber have post it, you can check it if you want
Do you have thé links mate ?

"Really Mean Chair" is my favorite
I remember the first time I seen the ghost come out of the wall. I screamed and ran out of the room. As soon as I did and he came in the livingroom, ran in the bathroom, when he emerged there I freaked out and ran again to the laundry room. I hated that haunting because I was scared that ghost was going to come out of that wall fully and kill me. I never used a holy candle so quickly.
I never saw the Walter rotting portrait either, I'd probably shit myself if I did saw it, you'd think it would trigger sometime before you make it and Joseph's inky ghost talks to you (or after?)
I still feel like it was a missed opportunity for a haunting in Eileen's room, like you look in the peephole and that fucking giant face of her is in there now looking directly at you, that or Robbie the Rabbit just randomly is sitting someplace else in her room, or doing her daily chores like she did...or just starring at you right in front of the eye hole. LOL
Thank you for going through them all. I’ve only played through the game once and I think I messed up on a fair few of the hauntingly so I think I need to go back and try again.
Victim one scared the shit out of me when I just woke up in the bed and he was sitting right over it looking at me 😂
In my first playthrough I unlocked every haunting except for the peephole one, and I think the cushion chair. Though I'm not sure because I could never identify it and exorcise it. No wonder I obtained the worst ending. At least I excel at something!!!
Wonderfully done!
Great compilation man!
i remember when i saw the shoes.walking down the corridor i literally lost my shit there
wow I've never seen Walter's voice haunting
Amazing work 👍🏼
There are some bloody kid's footsteps that appear on the kitchen and it walks nearby the locked door or living room
best silent hill game ever
thats just my room after quarantining this long
Room transitions at 5:40 were really mad.
thank you! very helpful
If this happened to me I'd jump out the window screw the door its locked anyways
It was a true masterpiece of making we very very uncomfortable, damn
You're a god. Thanks for this
Tbh I kinda ignored the hauntings i can't believe i never saw this i should have used the holy candles on these
posessed chair is hilarious, lmfao
I Was Stuck Hauntings, Almost Red Health Death
what happens if you don't eliminate them? or stay close to them?
Staying too close to them without a Saint Medalion or a Holy Candle will kill you. You willl end up getting 1 of the 2 bad endings if you dont clear them
Forlonick The 'Mother' ending it's not a "bad ending" (after all), but the 21 sacrament... it's a perspective way
How many hauntings can you have?
Like are there more hauntings than candles that can happen?
I'm currently playing the game but I feel as if everytime I come back to the apt there is always a new haunting
Have to return to the apartment as little as possible.
I find it weird how PT was met with praise yet this was the black sheep of the first 4 while having the most similarities. The originals are great but imo nowhere near as scary as 4...it just gets to you on a different level
Well PT was a small demo. SH4 is a whole game with its own set of issues
I got all of hauntings except walters peep hole and walters portrait love this game insanely ❤️
Nice video 🤙
