Welcome to Mojo Plays and today we are getting spooky and unpacking 10 Urban Legends in GTA
00:13
games.
00:14
For this list we'll be looking at those creepy and scary myths that players spread online
00:19
regarding any and all GTA entries.
00:22
Whether it was proven to be a hoax or whether players are still theorising to this day,
00:26
as long as it gave us the heebie jeebies at some point, we're gonna chat about it.
00:30
Do you truly believe any of these are real?
00:32
Let us know in the comments below.

00:43
Eternal Screams
00:51
Imagine finding a gateway to hell that you can't see or touch but you can hear the screams
00:56
that bellow from within its fiery opening.
00:59
Let me introduce you to the Downtown Screams.
01:02
In Grand Theft Auto San Andres there is a collection of benches in the downtown area
01:07
that can be used by pedestrians.
01:09
If you stay around these benches for long enough, you'll eventually hear terrifying
01:13
screams every few seconds which seem to come from below the ground.
01:21
Many players theorised why this occurred.
01:24
Is hell right below this location?
01:26
Was this the site of a mass murder and now haunted area?
01:29
The answer was actually quite simple in the end.
01:33
Below the map was a collection of unused benches.
01:36
NPCs could still spawn on these benches and as they went to stand up, they simply fell
01:41
to the unending blue hell that is underneath San Andres, screaming all the way down.
01:52
The Romero Riddle Rockstar has always been clever with the
01:56
way they fill their world.
01:58
Just like in real life, you are only the main character in your own story, which is why
02:03
Rockstar fills their worlds with stories untold within the main plot or even the side plots.
02:08
Whether it's an NPC's phone call, cleverly designed set dressing or a newspaper article,
02:14
players can create situations and tales in every corner of the map.
02:17
In GTA Vice City, it was Funeraria Romero that began a long list of theories about this
02:23
undertaker shop.
02:25
The Romero name is connected to multiple stores around Vice City.
02:29
With bodies missing limbs in the cemetery of their funeral home, human meat on sale
02:33
at their family owned butcher, manholes in locations near their stores and a meat delivery
02:38
service traversing the city, players have drawn many lines and conclusions that paint
02:43
quite the disturbing picture.
02:46
CJ's Mum's Ghost
02:48
"Stop it! What are you doing? Carl, Ryan, stop it!"
02:51
"Quit it! Mums are here!"
02:56
There may be no bigger GTA game for online ghost/monster/person/creature sighting videos
03:03
than San Andres.
03:05
Many players tried to convince the world that inside CJ's childhood home, the ghost of
03:10
CJ's mum would make an appearance from time to time.
03:13
The theory suggests she would appear at night, occasionally in the living room and walking
03:17
down the stairs, and would sometimes even attack CJ.
03:22
Although many videos went live trying to prove this, none were shown to be authentic beyond
03:26
a reasonable doubt, and the mystery of CJ's ghost mum lives on.
03:31
Or doesn't live on.
03:33
I don't know, she's a ghost.
03:34
The Photographer
03:36
This one is real, and it is substantiated.
03:39
The only problem is we can't work out whether Rockstar put this here on purpose, or whether
03:44
it's just a major glitch.
03:45
The theory revolves around a photographer NPC in GTA San Andres who is apparently suicidal,
03:52
as they can be seen snapping off a few shots and calmly walking into the water and drowning
03:57
themselves.
03:58
Were they taking their final goodbye shots to leave for the next life?
04:02
Were they enjoying their last moments on earth doing what they love?
04:05
Are they secretly a mermaid?
04:07
Who knows.
04:09
Ratman
04:10
This Grand Theft Auto 4 urban legend may be one of the most infamous myths in GTA history,
04:16
but it also has the least amount of evidence of any theory for the series.
04:21
With a few in-game hints that could suggest there is some kind of creature living in the
04:25
sewers of Liberty City, the only evidence to come forth and ignite the theory of the
04:29
Ratman was a picture spread online.
04:32
Of course, there have been bits and pieces dropped since then, but none hit as hard as
04:36
that first Ratman sighting, and we'll always be chasing that dragon, I mean that Ratman.
04:43
Ghost Cars
04:44
Ghost Cars have been a fabric of Grand Theft Auto urban legend with every single entry.
04:50
In almost all of the games, cars can be spotted driving around without anyone in the driver
04:55
seat.
04:56
This has caused players to speculate all throughout the GTA universe there are ghost cars traversing
05:00
the roads and landscapes.
05:02
The most simple explanation is that the NPCs are not popping into existence at that distance,
05:07
and we are simply seeing the cars first.
05:10
But where's the fun in that?
05:11
I say, let's commit to ghost cars and get the Ghosts DLC for GTA Online.
05:16
WHO YOU GONNA CALL?
05:18
GHOST F***ING SH** MOTHERF***ING BUSTERS!
05:27
Cement Shoes
05:29
Sometimes there are just things happening in GTA that have no evidence, no logic and
05:33
no reason.
05:34
These are the most dangerous for urban legends.
05:37
In the deep waters of Grand Theft Auto Vice City, players can spot two men in nothing
05:41
but their underpants and a pair of cement shoes.
05:44
Well, I mean they have big cement blocks attached to their feet, they're not designer or anything.
05:49
To this day, nobody knows who these men are, who they pissed off or why they ended up at
05:53
the bottom of the water.
05:55
But this hasn't stopped players from theorising and connecting them to the various crime families
05:59
seen throughout Vice City.
06:01
The Goatman
06:02
The wolf girl, the swamp monster, GTA V is filled to the brim with references to mythical
06:08
creatures.
06:09
The Goatman refers to a creature found within the game's expansive world.
06:13
And when I say found, I really mean nobody has probably ever actually found this thing.
06:17
The Goatman is characterised by its humanoid goat hybrid appearance, with hooves for feet
06:22
and a horned head.
06:23
Some have reported encountering the Goatman in secluded areas, often in the wilderness
06:28
or remote locations of the game.
06:31
Players have scoured the game files to try and find anything on this figure, but have
06:35
had no such luck.
06:36
Sleuths continue to share video encounters with this wild beast, but nobody has managed
06:41
to catch the damn thing.
06:45
Who knows, I mean Bigfoot does appear in the game.
06:48
Bigfoot.
06:49
Arguably, the most famous urban legend of the GTA series is Bigfoot.
07:02
I remember myself spending days strolling the hills of Grand Theft Auto San Andres,
07:07
keeping my eyes peeled in an attempt to spot the famous Sasquatch.
07:11
Unfortunately I didn't get so much as a Bigfoot poop.
07:15
Players have been circulating online for as long as the game has been around, and it wasn't
07:20
until GTA 5 when we actually got our first look at Bigfoot, with the incredibly well
07:24
hidden and fun mission The Last One.
07:27
But players persist in trying to get footage of the beast, still said to be wandering the
07:32
mountains of San Andres on our PS2's.
07:37
Aliens.
07:38
Aliens have been a point of talk in pretty much every GTA game.
07:54
With the series being wacky and wild even in its calmest moments, it's not that hard
07:58
to believe they are hidden in every entry.
08:01
GTA 5 takes the prize for the most references to aliens of any entry though.
08:06
From the alien frozen below the lake, to missions involving direct interaction with aliens both
08:11
in real life and in hallucinations, extraterrestrials are expected to exist within the games world.
08:17
Even the undying mystery that is the Mount Chiliad mural seems to suggest that aliens
08:22
are involved in the game somehow.
08:24
If the player manages to 100% the game, they can actually have interactions with unidentified
08:28
flying objects.
08:29
Does this mean we need to go back to previous entries and look a little harder?
08:34
Because I'm ready to get CJ abducted.
08:48
Thanks for watching.
