It seems as if we’ve been immersed in the world of GTA V for more than ten years (Editor’s note: Indeed, we have.), and while many players can navigate the streets of San Andreas with ease, there remain countless mysteries yet to be uncovered.
Over the years, gamers have claimed to witness a variety of bizarre phenomena—ranging from phantom vehicles to eerie creatures and even alleged extraterrestrial visitors. Unfortunately, many of these urban legends surrounding GTA have proven to be mere fabrications, concocted stories designed to unsettle newcomers to the game.
Recently, an ex-developer from Rockstar dashed the hopes of many players by revealing that the famous Easter Eggs at Mount Chiliad were simply playful nods to the fan theories that swirl around an elusive, dark conspiracy tied to the GTA series.
Nonetheless, while Mount Chiliad may serve as a diversion, there’s no shortage of spine-chilling Easter eggs that suggest there’s more lurking in San Andreas than one might expect. Put on your tin foil hat and be wary of the ominous black helicopters as we delve into some of the most intriguing urban myths and conspiracy theories within GTA V that have turned out to hold a kernel of truth.
Eerie Encounters: The Zombie of Vinewood
While traversing Vinewood, you might spot a mysterious zombie. But fret not; this is Graham, merely an actor promoting a film… or is there more beneath the surface?
A Weazel News report references a drug named Zombrex, reminiscent of the anti-zombification medication from the Dead Rising series, hinting that perhaps this undead character is part of a larger narrative.
The Aggressive Driver: A Menace on San Andreas Roads
If you’re in the mood for a scenic drive through San Andreas, it’s wise to avoid Downtown Los Santos. Here, players may encounter “The Aggressive Driver,” a character who manifests randomly and exhibits frenzied, reckless behavior, often ramming into other vehicles or even running over pedestrians.
Attempting to confront this driver is ill-advised; they may even brandish a weapon at you as if channeling their inner Incredible Hulk. Their eerie presence raises a question: is this an intentional feature or simply a glitch? Regardless, this character persists even through updates, suggesting they are meant to be part of the game’s surreal experience.
Loch Santos Monster: The Legendary Cryptid
In a surprising twist, the famed Loch Ness Monster has made its way from Scotland to San Andreas, rebranded as the Loch Santos Monster. Introduced in the game during the Cayo Perico Heist update on December 15, 2020, this elusive creature only reveals itself at the climax of the heist.
Although it can be spotted from the boat during your escape, any attempt to approach Nessie results in her vanishing beneath the waves, maintaining her air of mystery.
The Sunken UFO: A Mysterious Wreck
GTA V abounds with UFO sightings, prompting some to joke that they should change the term to Ubiquitous Flying Objects. Among these extraterrestrial happenings is a submerged alien spacecraft you can discover in the waters off the northern coast of San Andreas.
Players can uncover hints scattered throughout the game, including crashed UFO parts, Weazel News reports, and cryptic comments from the character Omega, which hint at “recently crashed ship.” To locate the wreck, dive into the ocean north of Procopio Beach.
The Myth of Bigfoot: A Legendary Sight
For GTA fans, the thrill of the hunt for Bigfoot never ceases. Each installment since San Andreas has layered new myths about this elusive creature. In GTA V, players can spot Bigfoot during the mission titled Predator using a sniper rifle.
Position the thermal scope in the lower right corner, and you’ll observe the heat signature of this famed cryptid. However, don’t get too eager; if you attempt to target or zoom in on Bigfoot, he will inexplicably vanish.
The Infinity Killer: A Haunting Legacy
Merle Abrahams, known as the Infinity Killer, left a chilling mark on San Andreas in 1999, allegedly murdering eight joggers before the authorities apprehended him. Despite his capture, the bodies of his victims were never recovered—at least until you stumble upon them yourself.
In a haunting discovery off the coast of Paleto Bay, players can unearth eight female bodies wrapped in plastic beneath the ocean. This raises unsettling questions: were these victims of the Infinity Killer, or is there a new predator in the waters? Rockstar leaves us pondering this enigma.
The Ghost of Mount Gordo: Unfinished Business
One of the most chilling specters in GTA V can be found haunting Mount Gordo. Players can witness this ghostly figure, visually reminiscent of Samara from The Ring, between the hours of 11 PM and midnight, near a blood-written message reading “Jock.”
A deeper dive into the story reveals the tragic fate of Jolene, the wife of stuntman aspirant Jock Cranley, who was pushed to her death to liberate Jock for his dreams. Despite suspicions, Jock was acquitted, leaving Jolene’s spirit eternally tied to the site of her demise.
The mysteries of GTA V continue to captivate, and we can only speculate whether future installments will peel back the layers of these dark secrets.
