Three fake images of Leatherface showing a mod (**left**), Carl Johnson (**centre**) and a hot dog vendor (**right**).

Leatherface is one of several myths in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Leatherface is the antagonist of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre films. The film's character (played by Gunnar Hansen) wore a mask fashioned from the skin of his victims, giving him his name. Surprisingly, these rumors still persist despite the fact that Leatherface does not exist in the game.

There are claims of a Leatherface-esque character roaming the San Andreas countryside, like the Back o Beyond, which is also the purported location of another popular myth Bigfoot, and Palomino Creek areas. Many people have pictures and videos, mostly blurry and of low quality, claiming to have recorded the creature. People have been duped to believe the existence of this creature, wasting them countless hours for searching something that does not exist in the game.

There are mods for the PC version of GTA San Andreas that will make Leatherface appear.

-==Background==

-==Overview==
+There are claims of a Leatherface-esque character roaming the [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]] countryside, like the [[Back o Beyond]], which is also the purported location of another popular myth [[Bigfoot]], and [[Palomino Creek]] areas. Many people have pictures and videos, mostly blurry and of low quality, claiming to have recorded the creature. People have been duped to believe the existence of this creature, wasting them countless hours for searching something that does not exist in the game.
-There are reports of a leatherface-esque character roaming the [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]] countryside, particularly in the area of [[Back o' Beyond]], which is the purported location of [[Bigfoot]], another GTA San Andreas myth. The character has a ghost-like appearance, apparently due to some sort of mask, which may or may not be an "optical illusion" due to slow or incomplete graphics draw. Many say they have seen Leatherface hanging around the dock with the old rusty wheelchair. People have also claimed that they see him in the wheelchair and a certain amount of flash photography can send him into the water. In the end there is no actual proof of the existance of Leatherface. There are many videos of ''sightings'' but any of them don't have any real proof, and can be easily be identified as fakes. But there are videos and pictures that people don't know what caused it as videos from ps2 cannot be ruled out as fakes.
