* The bloody mannequin in the restroom. "Reminds me of Cynthia."

* Discovering Cynthia's body in the subway station, when 'Room of Angel' swells up... truly hair-raising. The static does not help.

* There's one haunting that can be very hard to find since your only clue it's there at all is the effects Henry feels when he gets near it. It's one of the chairs in the living room: it turns bloody if you light a candle near it, but otherwise gives nothing away. [[ParanoiaFuel If you're unaware of this one, you could just wind up going back and forth looking for some invisible intruder]] and chipping away at your health the whole time.

* There's a particular haunting that possesses the chained door in the apartment. "Hm, everything's fine...wait IS THE PEEPHOLE OF THE DOOR BLEEDING???" *checks the door* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6s4nRRN89x4 "HOLY CRAP BLEEDING VICTIM HENRY!"]] The most disturbing part is that "victim Henry" sways back and forth, moving his mouth as if he's saying something, but you can't make it out.

* The player's "trust" that they're supposed to pick up every item they can is "betrayed" by a "Shabby Doll" that causes a haunting that [[HRGeiger H.R. Geiger]] would dream up: [[spoiler:grotesque-looking infants that moan and groan above your item chest, stuck inside the wall.]]

* The hospital in general, not just the Eileen head, but almost every other patient room is pointless except to scare you. There's the room with the (harmless) descending ceiling, the room connected to a sanitarium with a body in it, a room with a big tarp of skin held up ("On closer examination, there is a chunk of meat stuck in the middle of it"), the room with the wheelchair that disappears, and the room with the broken glass cases.

* Twin Victims

* Open the fridge to find what Henry calls a "lump of flesh" that fidgets about and groans. It's [[spoiler: one of the other tenants' dead cat wrapped up in a pair of pants.]]

** It gets worse when you find out what these things represent: [[spoiler:Recall that Walter was first mentioned in article in {{Silent Hill 2}}, which revealed that two of his earlier victims were children, a twin brother and sister. Do the math.]]

** This effect is underscored by the fact that your health no longer recharges while in the apartment. Likewise, the player's "trust" that they're supposed to pick up every item they can is "betrayed" by that awful doll that causes a haunting that [[HRGeiger H.R. Geiger]] would dream up: [[spoiler:grotesque-looking infants that moan and groan above your item chest.]]
*** And that's not even getting into the haunting caused by said doll. It's like something H.R. Giger would dream up.

[[caption-width-right:334:The best part of waking up...]]

* The Greedy Worm in the Subway world.

* During the

* The Nurses. Particularly the one that just appears in the hallway of one of the apartments in the second run through of the apartment world. At first, the apartment appears empty and your first though is to search it for items, and while you're doing that a 7-foot high monster casually marches towards you from the hallway in an UnflinchingWalk as if it was waiting for you this whole time. If you arrive early enough and go straight into the hallway, you can actually see the nurse materialize at the end of the hall and walk straight towards you. Very unsettling.

*** [[spoiler:If you look out of your window before Eileen is attacked, you'll see a mysterious figure in an apartment across the way pointing at ''her'' room.]]
*** Or not so mysterious: [[spoiler:That's actually Walter. If you go to Richard's room in the Apartment level that comes up next, you can actually encounter Walter standing by the window and pointing, though he vanishes into thin air soon after.]]
