Sprunk Factory Ghost
There is said to be a ghost in the abandoned Sprunk Factory in Alderney. A voice can be heard telling the player to leave. Many other screams and whispers can be heard. Captions have also been reported saying "Pleeeeeease Leeeeeeave!" and "You are unable to interact with a pedestrian on street level with a wanted level." The voice requesting the player to leave is in fact the bouncer at the nearby Honkers Strip Club. Huge explosions have been reported and also sightings of entities.
UFO'S
Many players have reported seeing ufos in gta iv. NOTE: SOME PEOPLE THINK THAT THE LIGHTS (USUALLY WHITE) THAT FLY ABOVE LIBERTY CITY ARE UFOS HOWEVER THESE LIGHTS ARE JUST PLANES THAT ARE FLYING AT A HIGHER LEVEL THATN THE ACTUAL PLANES YOU CAN SEE! Some people have reported seeing space craft others have reported seeing lights that jump around and flash all over the sky.
Bloody Bedroom
This is not exactly a myth. However, in an apartment in Liberty City, there is an open door. The bedroom has a massive amount of blood strewn about, making it more likely a piece of miscellaneous interior detail. Also, on the mattress on the floor in the main room and in one of the side rooms is a picture of a policeman (identity unknown) with a pile and three lines of cocaine running across it. This could mean that there was either a police officer with a cocaine addiction living there, or a cop killer with the same addiction. If it was the prior, the police officer likely either committed or was killed. If it was the latter, he may have kidnapped the police officer (depicted in the picture) and brought him there, only to promptly kill him; The killer likely would have then fled from the obviously undiscovered crime scene.
It is located on the apartment in North Holland where Jimmy Kand lives.
It should be noted that the same bloody bed prop is in the room where Niko was sent to kill Teddy Benavidez, on orders from Ray Boccino.

Ratman
The Ratman is believed to be some kind of creature that can be seen in the subways of Liberty City. There are several variations to the fabled "Ratman". Some say he, or it, has sharp claws and teeth, and frightening red eyes, and an incredible running speed, as well as the ability to kill the player instantly. Others say the Ratman is merely a hobo with a unique set of dialogue. There is no proof regarding either. In online mode your player model can be changed to a "Zombie" that resembles a ratman.
Ship Wrecks With Ghosts
There are plenty of ship wrecks surrounding Liberty City and one is believed to hold ghosts.
Growling Noises
These are rare, but they can be heard mostly during nighttime when Niko is by himself (i.e. no nearby pedestrians). It's a low growl that persists for a good amount of time, and may scare players if caught off guard. It is not known what causes these noises but it could be a glitch.
- video Can be heard around 1:23.
Deep echoed growls are known to occur in Alderney Casino and the Sprunk Factory, It is unknown what they are caused by but they might just exist for atmospheric effect.
Other growling can be explained by nearby Flying Rats or thunder.
The Blue Hell
Also while not exactly a myth and more of a glitch there is a secret room in the enterable hospitals. When you walk in, make a right, and then another right. There's a hospital bed right in front of a window. If you throw a grenade under it, it will be launched away and you can run jump through the window. You can then walk around through the walls. If you walk all the way back you walk into empty blue hell, you will then be transported back to the Hospital.
Lola
The prostitute seen on the concept art is often believed to be actually found in the game. See article: Lola.
Whale
The whale is believed to be a sea mammal that can mostly be seen in the water in Middle Park (most reports claimed to have been at night). Many deny this myth by simple stating that the whale is nothing more than an Annihilator helicopter with the blades broken off, crashed into the water.
Changing faces of The Statue of Happiness
Some players have reported that at different points during the game, the Statue of Happiness's face will change from the normal "happy" face, to a angry, somewhat frightening face. Many players have said the face will change during a darker and more violent time during gameplay. Others have said if Niko has a high wanted level, or has killed many people and caused a high amount of property damage, the change might occur. Some theories state that you have to shoot the Statue's face, body or heart to see it, so far, none of these theroies have been proven to work.
Ghawar explosion in Out of Commission
Some fans speculate that during the end cutscene of Out of Commission when Jimmy Pegorino is killed, in the background you will be able to see an explosion, supposedly that of Ray Bulgarin's plane exploding from the final scene of The Ballad Of Gay Tony.
