Grand Theft Auto's Unexplained Myths
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
Every GTA hides secrets—rare and strange occurrences that would be right at home inside an episode of The X-Files. Some of them are scripted. Some aren’t. All of them end up logged and documented by players. If you’ve never visited the GTA Myths Wiki, I highly recommend taking a gander today. While there are things everyone has heard about—like GTA V’s bigfoot, aliens, the jetpack—there are a bunch of other ones floating around, too. Not every myth has credible sourcing—some, quite frankly, sound fake as heck. Still, it’s interesting to read about, and particularly fascinating to watch people go out into their games and try to find the myth in question. Even more fascinating is when people actually mod their games to put the myth in there. Every proven myth can be found here. While there are a ton of fantastical ones floating around, we’re going to focus on a few ones that are either actually true, or have some sort of video attached, and are not an intended easter egg (like say, this ghost girl in GTA V). The Suicidal Photographers Weirdly, you can watch a character drown themselves in San Andreas. People think it might be just a glitch, and if it is, it’s a rather eerie one. Strange Mechanic While this one has been patched out, it’s still fun to hear about. But basically, players could hire a mechanic in GTA Online. Two problems: the character could sometimes be aggressive toward the player, or worse, could drive past the player, refusing to actually stop and g2g1bet deliver the car. Sometimes, the mechanic could attack the player if the player tried to get the car back, and other times was known to straight up kill the player instead of delivering the car. Jeeze! Suicidal Airplanes Another San Andreas myth. Apparently, airplanes will often crash into buildings, if not right onto the player. The thing is, not only can the airplane often avoid the crash, there is never a pilot onboard. What? Bermuda Triangle While the Bermuda Triangle isn’t a real location in GTA, players started rumors that evoked it. The claim is this: if go you far enough into the ocean in GTA San Andreas or GTA V, your plane will inevitably crash. While people dispute whether or not this is true, the myth likely spread because of one detail: if you let your plane/vehicle sink, you’ll automatically be teleported elsewhere. Otherwise, one of the key elements of this myth is that if you go out far enough, your plane/vehicle will either explode, or you’ll lose control. Ghost Vortex A moving vortex, with no pilot. Can apparently chase the player sometimes. Strange. Ghost Cars Similar to the ghost vortex myth, various GTA games have been known to have cars that seemingly operate on their own, without a driver.

The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.
I enjoy the daily missions and rewards system. It gives me extra motivation to play regularly and allows me to earn more coins and bonus items, which enhances the overall gaming experience.
Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.
