Myths in GTA San Andreas: Difference between revisions

People have claimed to see sharks in the waters of [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]]. They are said to be just mods, but others claim they're just rare. It is unknown if these sharks actually exist in the game, otherwise. Some have stated that sharks actually attack [[Carl Johnson]] and kill him, others say they just swim away frightened. People have actually mistaken Dolphins for Sharks because they look similar in game. Like [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], the sharks in GTA San Andreas are invincible and will not die from gunfire. People have said that sharks are only found underneath the [[Gant Bridge]]. The IMG tool for [[Gta3.img|gta3.img]] on [[San Andreas]] actually proves that sharks are in [[San Andreas]] because it states the shark.dff file is in the game. As seen in numerous videos, the shark doesn't even attack Carl Johnson and highly resembles a White Tip Shark.

The '''Ghost Cars''' myth is essentially based upon the misinterpretation of a minor glitch. The myth centered on the abandoned [[Glendale|cars]], which spawn in the rural areas of [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]]. If they spawn on a slope, they roll down it as if they're being driven. Some curious players investigated the cars and found that there was nobody in it, thus leading them to believe that the car was driving itself. However, there is nothing particularly strange about the vehicles themselves, as they were simply put there in case the player got stranded in the countryside without a vehicle. There is a [[Modifications|mod]] involving the [[Glendale]]s in the [[Back o Beyond]]. Once activated, players that go near a parked Glendale, the car's lights will turn on, and start attacking players (this mod also applies to the beat-up [[Sadler]] near the ghost car area).

Many people have taken the "hole" referenced here to be the [[mass Grave|mass grave]] near [[Las Brujas]]. This would seem incongruous however, as they are on opposite sides of the river, and the hole in question is both up against a wall and too small for an entire cavalry division to fall into.

This myth is very similar to the Panopticon Killer. The only difference is that this man lives in the desert and uses a [[rifle]] to kill his victims. The majority of people tend to think that he lives in a small house in Tierra Robada, not far from a [[Cluckin' Bell]]. Some people have posted videos of him in [[Fort Carson]] with a combat shotgun or unarmed. He is believed to be the same man as "Mr. Trenchcoat" (see the UFOs article for more information). He can often be seen on the small dirt road next to the river, just meters away from his house, and in the Lil' Probe Inn. Though to be fair, the image presented of the "killer" is merely a pedestrian model that can be found in many other towns nearby, even multiple times over, same with any other model. People have claimed that this person starts randomly shooting and kills other pedestrians - at this moment, no evidence has been found. It is believed that this myth started when someone had a riot cheat enabled without realizing it. The Myth of the serial killer is sometimes linked with the myth of the Las Venturas desert [[Mass Grave]].

This, just like [[Bigfoot]] and Leatherface, is another myth that some people have claimed to have encountered while playing the game. The most common hearing of these horror voices is on [[Mount Chiliad]], in a shack halfway up the mountain, used in a [[Badlands|mission]] in the game. It was midnight and stormy when these hearings happened. Some believe that it is just a mod or a hoax. Other people claimed to hear the screaming voices in Panopticon area and in [[Back o' Beyond]]. However, it was later discovered that in one case the "screaming voice" was the sound of an abandoned [[Quad]]bike's tires screeching against the rock, as it was stuck in the ground. It's also possible to hear a loud groan near Gant Bridge, mostly at nights. This has been attributed to Bigfoot, but has been identified as the fog horn of one of the ships around the bay.
