Well you have to remember that the vast majority of what fans call series continuity is all subjective interpretation of the psychological meaning of various things.
What we know: there's an evil cult in a town called Silent Hill that is trying to summon their dark god. They burned some poor girl who possessed another little girl, or reincarnated, or something, and the father had to get her back and prevent the resurrection of ol' Sammy. Then some other guy shows up looking for his dead wife and after meeting some incarnation testing what he really wants in a woman realizes he's judging himself for killing her, which is a fact that apparently slipped his mind. Then he forgives himself after a heavy metal version of his wife floats around upside down trying to stab him. Then, we find out about that daugher being impregnated with something really gross, like most fetuses, but this one never gets pretty. And, then some guy gets stuck in his apartment and has to kill some supernatural serial killer who's convinced that guy's apartment is his mother... something which insanity alone doesn't really help to explain. Never played 5.
Beyond that, it's all interpretation.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
