10 Cryptic Messages Found In Video Games We'll Never Understand

10. Blue Creek Whispers - Silent Hill 2

Because the Silent Hill games aren't creepy enough already, Konami decided to bamboozle players with a spine-tingling mystery which still remains unsolved to this very day.

In the second game when visiting room 209 in the Blue Creek Apartments, keen-eared players might hear a faint, scarcely intelligible voice whispering to them.

Fans have spent hours listening to the message literally hundreds of times in an attempt to decipher it, but even today there's no clear consensus on what's being said or why it's in the game.

The most common opinion is that the voice says, "See my dead wife, come home to do some laundry to escape...," though that deduction is very far from conclusive.

In an interview, the game's creative consultant Jeremy Blaustein believed the speech was nothing more than gibberish spoken during one of the game's recording sessions.

More recently, however, it was discovered that the whisper was actually taken from a stock sound library, Nightingale Voice Box Sound Effects Library Volumes 1 & 2, though even a high-quality sample makes it no easier to understand what's being said (or isn't).

The whispers clearly weren't made exclusively for Silent Hill 2, but their precise meaning still remains very much up in the air.
