The Monster Lurks is a short memo Harry Mason can find in the original Silent Hill game, located in the Otherworld boys' restroom on the first floor of Midwich Elementary School. It serves no real, informative purpose to Harry; however, the stall where it is located must be entered if the player wishes to retrieve the shotgun, which is located on the ground below a decayed corpse crucified to the wall. If Harry looks to the right, he can observe what is written on the wall in blood.
