If you want to know Silent hill is a bit "artistic" and obscure so you need to give a representation to it, here is a version Ive read around and liked the most. (of course beware of the spoilers!)

At some point James died, then he got called to Silent Hill (HELL) to meet his wife, he had forgotten what happened to her, he descents layer by layer into the pits of demons and tortured souls like Eddie and Laura (aparently you are tortured by representations of your sins, guilt and fears who become your personal demons) there he meets his personal demons: Maria (a young and "spicy" version of his wife) and the pyramid head (a representation of guilt and punishment).

At the end he remembers what happened: _he killed his wife_ because she was suffering too much due to a disease, depending on how well you did you either forgive yourself (good endind) or you are bound to an eternity of suffering and guilt (bad ending) Or you find out that a silly talking dog is who orchestrated all (joke ending!)

Btw. Silent Hill is hell because thats what happens in Silent hill 1 a satanic cult opens "the nightmare world" to let a demon (Samael) take posession of a kindred (created by black magic) human girl (Samara) so hell is "mixed" with our world in Silent Hill and acts as a shifting portal between both.
