Swamp Monument

The Swamp Monument is found in east South Vale near the end of Lindsey Street in Silent Hill 2.

The monument is an account of Silent Hill's past, as the area surrounding the monument used to be a swamp, which was used by the executioners of that time (presumably from Toluca Prison) to wash their tools in. Because of this, it was nicknamed the "Blood Swamp".

Trivia

 * In Apt. 202 of Wood Side Apartments, the kitchen sink faintly glows red; it is the same red glow as surrounds Pyramid Head in his first appearance. It is possible that Blood Swamp, having been stained red as a basin for executioners' tools, is the missing link in a connection between the sink and Pyramid Head, whose appearance and purpose are derived from such executioners.
