By the time we reach the "special place", which ends up being Room 312
inside the Lake View Hotel, we know what sin James is guilty of. This
explains to us why he has seen the things he's seen, and why he has
been forced to watch helplessly as Maria dies over and over again. In
Silent Hill, the driving force of nature is perspective. Silent Hill is
what you bring to it, and the demons that have plagued James' soul have
taken physical form and now are seeking vengeance.

That also explains something that bugged me after finishing the game. All throughout the game Pyramid Head is a badass unkillable monstrosity, but at the end James somehow manages to kill two of them. I originally wrote this off to lousy game plot mechanics, until you think about what happens just prior to that confrontation. After the scene in 312, he no longer has any need to be tormented by Pyramid Head.
