5 chilling myths and legends in the GTA Series

Grand Theft Auto isn’t just about insane heists, fast cars, and chaotic shootouts. It’s also home to some seriously eerie myths that have kept players awake at night. From ghostly figures to creepy creatures lurking in the shadows, GTA has a hidden world of mysteries that’ll make you think twice before roaming around at 3 AM in-game.

Here are five chilling myths and legends from the GTA universe that will make you think twice.


1. The Ghost of Mount Gordo (GTA V)If you’ve ever explored Mount Gordo at night, you might have stumbled upon the ghost of Jolene Cranley-Evans. If you visit the peak between 11 PM and midnight, you’ll spot her pale, floating figure staring into the void. Even creepier? Get too close, and she vanishes, leaving behind the word "JOCK" written in blood.
2. Ratman in the Subway (GTA IV)Deep within the subway tunnels of GTA IV, players have reported seeing a Ratman. This half-human, half-rat creature is rumored to stalk the underground tunnels in GTA IV. According to players, he scurries through abandoned tunnels, watching, waiting, and sometimes even attacking unsuspecting players.
3. Ghost Cars (GTA San Andreas)Have you ever gone through the misty woods of GTA: San Andreas, only to see an empty car rolling toward you with no driver? Ghost Cars are one of the strangest myths in the game. In reality, it’s just a weird physics glitch where abandoned cars randomly roll down hills. But the way they move—slowly creeping before suddenly accelerating—feels too unnatural.


4. Bigfoot (GTA: San Andreas & GTA V)Bigfoot is GTA’s most famous myth. In San Andreas, players swore they spotted a shadowy, tall figure deep in the woods, sparking endless speculation. Rockstar later played into the legend in GTA V’s "The Last One" mission, where Franklin actually hunts down Bigfoot (or something pretending to be it).
5. The Mount Chiliad Mystery (GTA 5)Mount Chiliad is GTA V’s biggest unsolved mystery. Inside the cable car station, there’s a cryptic mural featuring UFOs, an eye symbol, and… an egg? Players have spent years trying to crack its meaning, linking it to aliens, hidden locations, and even a jetpack. And if you visit the mountain at 3 AM during a thunderstorm after completing 100% of the game, you might spot a UFO hovering in the sky.
