The legend of the '''Loch Ness monster''' was one of the first myths to emerge. It was believed that it appears in the Fisher's Lagoon, one of the few lakes accessible by the player at the very beginning of the game. Like many other myths, this had a strong support back in 2005, but lacks any evidence or in-game references, which would seem to classify this myth as fake. It was later confirmed by a Rockstar spokesman that the 'Nessie' myth is fake. [[File:Gallery116.jpg|thumb|Fisher's Lagoon (where the Nessie myth was created)]]

==UFOs==
==UFO's==
'''[[UFOs]]''' are another popular myth of GTA San Andreas. As of this time, a Rockstar spokesman was interviewed and when they asked him about UFOs he changed the subject. Later in another interview, a Rockstar spokesman said: "We did not initially put UFOs in-game. However, there may be some data still in the game we thought to have deleted." This has aroused suspicion among certain areas of the fanbase.

==Sharks==
==Sharks==
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. People have stated that Sharks actually attack [[Carl Johnson]] and kill him, others say they just swim away frightend. 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 underneth 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.

There's an abandoned '''wheelchair '''at the end of the wharf in [[Fisher's Lagoon]]. It uses the same texture as a waste skip elsewhere in San Andreas. The wheel chair was believed by many to be a reference to the movie The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, as one of the youths in this movie is in a wheel chair, but is in fact more likely a reference to the Rockstar game [[Manhunt]], where it can be seen at the beginning. The following pedestrian dialog can be heard in [[Palomino Creek]]:
