by the way its a series done by MTV
and here is some background on the Hospital in the episode that i watched
Welcome to the St. Agnes Hospital for the Chronically Ill. Almost immediately following its opening in the early \'30s, St. Agnes became overcrowded and understaffed. Patients were perpetually neglected, abused, mistreated and subjected to horrifying and painful methods of treatment. For the 39 years of the existence of the hospital, the Nursing Department was plagued by a large turnover and shortage of personnel. In addition, several incidents of patient abuse were reported, many of those stemming from drunken staff members becoming violent and resulting in the deaths of battered and mistreated patients. St. Agnes was also the first hospital to implement frontal lobotomy surgery as well as employing other unpleasant practices such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), hydrotherapy, seclusion, and rampant unmonitored administration of dangerous and experimental drugs. The annual number of deaths at the hospital ranged from 294 to 482, with a yearly average of 346. When a patient died without any family or other resources to pay for a proper burial, hospital staff members were faced with the grisly task of dismembering and incinerating the corpses in the basement.
It\'s been nearly three decades (1972) since the hospital closed down and has since become a hotbed of supernatural activity most likely spawned by the perpetually high death toll and suffering that took place on its campus. Clairvoyant paranormal researchers claim to have observed a high number of despondent shadowy figures roaming the empty halls, condemned to spend their time in purgatory at the location of their untimely deaths. Unexplained noises and disembodied voices echo through underground tunnels, musty attics, abandoned wards and padded cells. Morgues, laboratories and operation facilities stink of death and despair, their walls, floors and surgical tables still stained with the blood of the chronically ill. Remember this hospital is extremely real. The historical and supernatural events are not fictitious. All of the people, including the patients, are or were real people. Their stories are all true. The extensive history we have prepared has been compiled from previously published articles and first hand accounts
Sounds like it wouldn\'t go a miss being in silent hill.

Haven\'t seen that show in over a year. Very cool, and creepy. I have only seen about 3 different ones so don\'t get excited. I don\'t think there are many.
PS: Whoever gave Big Log the boot is a freaking loser.

Hay 00seven great UK peeps think alike cause I seen that program last night (friday).
Im playing Silent Hill 2 at the moment (think i\'ve nearly completed it now) and I was thinking how much Fear resembled it.
I esp liked the bit where the psyic (sp?) was on about all the presence around the wire mesh / fencing. :)
