The Janitor is a great example of this concept. Where dimensions cross and you can exist in different manifestations.

I have said many times Silent Hill is a place We see him as a human being (in the past), we see him dead (in the foggy world) and we see him as a monster (in the darkness.) This is one of the explanations of our work. The only concrete exception I have made in revealing the origins of a creature is a new monster we created called the Janitor. They are not only the twisted figures that inhabit Silent Hill but the reflections of the fear and anxiety of these desperateparents. e.g.: the Mumblers, small child like creatures ( that we call the Greychildren in the movie,) Harry Mason meets them as does Rose as they search for their little girls. Monsters coming from the psyche of the protagonists. Another explanation is that they are hallucinations. The easiest and most basic explanation of course is that the monsters are victims of the vengeance of Alessa. It has been stated by the director that the monsters are open to a variety of interpretations: I think that every interpretation is possible.
