No, Silent Hill is not a real place. The movie version of Silent Hill is actually based on a town in Pennsylvania called Centralia. Apparently, a trash fire accidentally ignited the underground coal deposits in the 60's, and the fires have been burning underneath the town ever since.
In Silent Hill 2, like the other creatures roaming the town, Pyramid Head is a manifestation of James' subconscious mind; his unfulfilled desire for punishment for the death of Mary Shepherd-Sunderland, coupled with a painting of a hooded executioner found in the Silent Hill Historical Society.
