It's the bit where your in the prison and you go out into the garden. I remember the first time I played that section, I had not yet obtained a map, so when I opened the door, I was really creeped out by the garden. It's just so wide and big with almost nothing in it. I was half expecting a huge monster to just pop out of nowhere lol. But what really freaked me out was when you keep hearing a sound like horses running towards you, then you look around and there's nothing there *shudders*. Also, when you place all those blocks into the hanging stand and you hear a man scream lol.

Horses? I always thought that was flapping...and that I saw something flying just out of eyeshot...or maybe my mind was just creeped out and making stuff up...

I'm sure it's meant to be a horse, that's why you get a horseshoe.

What creeped me out in the prison even more were the footsteps and demonic voice you hear in the prison cell hallway. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I found it disturbing, especially since James looks at something (or someone) in that hallway but you can't see whatever it is he's looking at.

It's a monster making the noise from a cell. You can't see it, but if you stand in front of the right cell, aim and shoot, you can kill it.

Does anything special happen if you do kill it?

[–] ss5mmyers 14 years ago

Not really, if you hit it, you hear it react in pain and the voice noise ceases.

I know, that's always so strange. It keeps grunting and moving and James will glance up at it. The monster is called The Prisoner. You never see it, but James can aim at it and shoot it. When shot, it makes a realistic human cry, so it's very creepy. /=

I know, right? I was walking down a prison cell hallway and he just kept looking up at the ceiling....I was like what the hell is he looking at? So i tried aiming the camera towards the ceiling (doesn't work that well) but I couldn't see anything...it's kinda creepy.

That invisible creature in the prison sounds quite unnerving when you kill it. Mainly because his scream sounds almost human so it's almost feels as if you killed a person rather than a monster.

I honestly never heard the sound of horses in the prison courtyard. That sounds pretty intersting.

I always thought that what James was looking up at was Pyramid Head walking back and forth keeping an eye on him. I caught a small glimpse of a figure in boots walking in the walkway above once.

Need to play it again to make sure.

That part always freaked me out

[–] DarleneHamilton 10 years ago

The *thunk-thunk- drag* sound as you walk round, hear it but never see anything, *aarrk!*

Some past experiences that got me on my first few playthroughs are:

Pyramid Head randomly appearing at certain parts of the Labyrinth, I remember killing a Lying Figure/Straightjacket (whatever theyre called) in a watery area, and I heard sloshing of another monster walking about, ran round the corner expecting to find another one and it turned out to be Pyramid Head. Safe to say I ran the other way lol.

Like the original post said, the horse noises in the prison were unnerving, especially with how loud they got.

Randomly reviving monsters in normal+ difficulty. I killed a nurse in the hospital corridor, went into a room to drop Maria off, left the room and immediately got smacked with a pipe by a pissed off shrieking nurse, and it was the same one I just killed, as its body had disappeared, but the blood stain was still there, and it was definitely dead before; shot, stamped on and everything. Has that ever happened with anyone else?

The final thing that got me on my most recent playthrough, was when I went to the 3rd floor of the hotel, checked the gate that was blocking the staircase and I turned around to leave only to hear in the distance Mary shriek "JAAAAMMMEESSSS", I had completely forgot that that happens so it startled me a lot more than it should have.
