"Repeated memory wipes fry your head eventually", which was the case for Dr Renfrew, whom the Silence used to keep Graystark Hall Orphanage open beyond its closing day. Any instruction spoken while a subject looked at a Silent, even a picture of one, would cause this effect. These orders would remain in a person's mind after they had forgotten the encounter with the Silent, acting like post-hypnotic suggestions.

Similarly, after encountering several in a tunnel, River Song remembered long enough to climb a ladder in obvious fear before forgetting she ever saw them. While trapped in a bathroom with a Silent, Amy looked away for a few seconds a few times when the lights flickered or when talking with Joy and never forgot the Silent in the room with her. The amnesia appeared to take a few seconds before it took effect. Anyone looking at the Silents would recover their memories of previous sightings. They were uniquely "memory-proof" anyone who saw them would instantly forget about them the moment they looked away - even if they saw a photograph of a Silent. The Silents remained hidden on Earth for hundreds of thousands of years, since the early Stone Age.

They spoke in deep, raspy voices, made growling or clicking noises, and as they breathed, they often produced highly eerie rattling sounds. Their eyes lacked sclera and were completely dark.
They had small eyes in deep recesses in the skull. Their hands had four large, spatulate fingers. They were tall humanoids, around seven feet tall, with bulbous heads and grey, mouthless faces.
