"If it's not a bug, it's an easter egg If it's not an easter egg, it's leftover beta content If it's not a leftover beta content, its schizophrenia" Love that line
Saints row games especially saints row 2 gives me such a weird feeling while just exploring the town that it honestly makes it one of the most eerie and creepy games for me. It doesn't help that my Original saints row 2 disk was really scratched up and it basically messed and corrupted my game like it was haunted.
@@shiny1556 with the PC release we found tons of the game's original content tho. Evidence for the cut blackwater prologue, the neanderthal model, the ice caverns in the north side of the map. Maybe it's just me, but it's really neat to see what could've been in a game that big. It's also horribly disappointing to see that it was cut
I was scared to go into any forest when I was a kid. I kept away because I was afraid I'd get attacked by something. I was even scared of playing Farming Simulator alone at night. That's how much of I pussy I was
One thing I think really helped spread all those rumours where the modded copies being sold in places like Brazil and etc. Piracy was reeaally commom in the PS2 era here and, for some reason, most GTA SA copies sold were modded. In a time where people didnt even knew what mods were, it is not that hard to believe that some people just experienced something from a mod and really thought it was legit
Cara realmente, eu jogava gta pra caralho na epoca dos cds piratas (que eu tinha que comprar um novo a cada semana pq parava de funcionar entao sempre era uma surpresa diferente) Eu lembro muito bem de na tela de Loading do GTA 4 de PS2 ter uma imagem do Jason e eu me cagar de medo de ter o Jason no jogo, ja que especificamente o mod do GTA 4 realmente adicionava coisas novas (não o Jason mas enfim kk) Alem de toda a vibe de jogar games em televisões antigas que era mais acessiveis no Brasil, muita dessas hacks por alguma razão removiam certas radios do jogo e sons ambientes Enfim, muito legal a aua observacao
The one time I was brave enough to track down the moving ghost car, swear on my life... I saw it roll and stop so I jumped in and the fucking thing catapulted up into the air and scared the absolute fuck out of me. I gather looking back that it must have slipped an object like a tree or something that launched it like the GTA IV swingset. Also Bigfoot was there.
Um, actually my uncle works at GTA and he put Bigfoot in himself but he's like super rare and only appears in 20 copies of the game and I have a copy. Unfortunately I don't have anything to record it with
God it’s so nostalgic. I still remember being a kid and watching all the videos with the X files theme and watching so many myths and legends videos. I was so scared to go into the Forrest. I miss those times
I'm 20 years old and I'm still scared of going to Johnson's family house. Like, rationally I know nothing's there, but I can't help and take off my headphones and close my eyes when I'm going to save my game.
There's 1 creepy thing that's happened to me while playing san andreas: I blew up my vehicle somewhere deep in the forest and had to sprint around to get out , went to this cabin in the woods where i knew an atv spawned and took it. drove around for a while till i got to this wooden bridge , i looked behind me and there it was coming at me , this broken down glendale going really fucking fast lights off i literally shit myself it was so scary. it stopped right behind me i got into it and tried repairing it with a cheat but it wouldnt repair. It was a cool little encounter but i know it was a bugged spawn, problem is i could never get it to happen again.
It's actually real (almost a reference to that one movie) those cars are ghost cars like why las brujas and the devil's castle and also those ghost cars are broken up big smoke's asshole cars
@@koleszgdanska7149 somehow doubt the rolling down the hill is scripted cause i haven't encountered it again, just found the cars with the damage pre baked onto em sitting out there.
the air planes crashing randomly while flying and the pedestrians falling from the sky are for sure real because when i was a kid i use to play it on ps2 and it would happen like quite often
I remember that when I was playing back in the day, I was living in the big ass Madd Dogg house and I never wanted to go to the dark parts of the house, because CJ’s breathing scared me. The reason I didn’t leave the place was the arcade games, I used to play these.
I think what I sort of find fascinating about gaming urban legends and myths was something that you kinda brought up towards the end. This kinda goes a bit into my actual feelings about urban legends and myths, but I just feel there are a lot of people out there who only seek to be entertained by mysteries and could care less if they are actually solved or not. I feel very few people genuinely want to try and understand the reasons behind a mystery. I remember David Lynch has this quote where he says that he would want Twin Peaks to remain a mystery forever because mysteries die once shit gets revealed, which I personally hard agree with. Like once you figure out a mystery, it sort of goes away immediately afterwards and the intrigue sort of just ends up dying with the mystery. So I think that is kind one of the reasons why many of these GTA urban legends still continue to persist even after being rationally explained away. Like what you sort of talked about here, I personally know in GTA San Andreas, a lot of the URBAN LEGENDS AND SECRETS, were mainly just development oversights or them not being able to fix certain shit proper. You probably are aware of the GTA San Andreas "Hell" myth, where you go to the Los Santos Gym and were able to clip through a corner and reach HELL, which lead you to this void that had like some gates and unused level assets. But like, it was eventually figured out that HELL was actually just used to show cutscenes that took place at the garage across the street from the the San Fierro Train Station. What's funny to me is just how simple things like an out of bounds asset to quickly render a cutscene was considered to be "paranormal" in a sense. Whereas now, because we know how complicated game development is, it's easier to dismiss stuff as a glitch or a bug, even though I don't doubt that some people still believe in many of these urban legends. But I would be lying if I didn't admit that these urban legends got my curiosity going, in a way that many of the newer Rockstar games don't really achieve. I remember playing Red Dead Redemption 2 and there's this whole side quest in which you find the dismembered body parts and victims of a serial killer in various locations across the map, with each location giving you a piece of a map that will lead to the serial killer's hideout. Well, once you go there you basically find the killer and you turn him into the sheriff's office. While it was certainly intriguing, it is kind of disappointing how it was just sort of used for a side mission and that it didn't really have much of a larger purpose or have a larger sense of mysteriousness about it. Certainly when I first found it, it was creepy as hell and I wanted to figure out the mystery, but it was also kinda built up super poorly by just giving you a map and saying "yeah he be here". There were no clues, no people I had to talk to, it didn't really feel like a mystery at that point. It sort of felt like Rockstar wanted to capture that same aura of mystery like you see with all of the San Andreas mysteries, but Rockstar still wanted it to play out like a typical mission or are just very quick to explain that mystery away. Even in GTA 5, there is a ghost that you can find, but it's also a deliberate easter egg put in by Rockstar that you can easily trigger. It doesn't feel as random or meaningful because of that. So there ain't going to be a recreation of people obsessing over a mystery, if that mystery can easily be explained away. Not to say that it should always be that way, that every mystery SHOULD be unexplainable and purposely vague. I'm always going to be one of those people who would rather know something than not know anything. My attitude towards a lot of gaming urban legends and real life urban legends is to just apply Occam's Razor, you know? But it's more so my point that it's weird how a myth in a game like San Andreas can intrigue me and fascinate me more than a purposely thought out interaction and side mission in Red Dead Redemption 2. I also wanted to say that this video was easily one of your best and I enjoyed it so much.. It was by far one of your most immersive that you've done. Like, when you were telling that story about how you ran into your own urban legend, I was legit very hooked in and it got my curiosity going. this viddy was v goode. goode jobe jay.
Geez, I never really thought about how unsettling Mount Chiliad was in SA. No wonder why so many kids were scared to explore it at night. The atmosphere of it alone is enough to make yourself uneasy
Oooh hell yeah, this is my shit, man. I remember back in, when, 2007, me being a 13 year old scared shitless at night trying to replicate some obscure myth about leatherface appearing in a cabin in the game.

At the time my 8 year old brain was scared for months after looking up leatherface myths in san andreas, i remember avoiding that lumber mill area like the plague because most images depicted him there.
On the sliding scale of patronising grovelling to casually dismissive compliment: It's great to see another subject get approached completely sincerely yet with tongue in cheek self awareness, video production quality is spot on too. Took a bunch of rumours and laid them out on the table for dissection and even as you killed the magic you still clearly love the subject matter enough to make a whole great researched video about it. OR Nice vid mate
I had this weird bug happen to me in San Andreas. I was attacked by an NPC that looked exactly like my CJ during the Riot. It was the same build and it was even wearing the same clothing too.
I've actually seen a ghost car in San Andreas. Saw a car driving around one of the roads with no npc in it. I followed it for a bit, but I think it disappeared once I turned the camera away. It's more likely a bug than an intentional thing though. But I saw it for sure.
I’m so glad you talked about this topic. Because for something I remember being so popular on TH-cam when I was 10, I don’t see anyone ever mention or remember this “myth era” of TH-cam. I spent hours trying to find mysteries in San Andreas until I ended up thinking I saw a ghost or a figure or whatever. It freaked me the hell out.
I LOVE when open world games have secrets. Huge, freaky, dark secrets. Growing up I wished desperately that San Andreas and GTA IV had something to find because my imagination was wild and hopeful.
If you haven't seen Oddheader and some of the weird bugs he uncovers I would recommend. Going back to the Perfect Dark Ghost, In Saint's Row 2 there's literally a bug that would cause the silhouette of the top half of a human to project itself onto any random wall for a single frame before freezing the entire game. Sounds fake and yet this creepypasta stuff happens.
I tried for hours and hours one weekend to find big foot on San Andreas. One of the rumors said driving the monster truck around woods of the country for 6 hours would make him come after you. And of course I wasted those hours trying to no avail.
I like how Rockstar put more mythical stuff in their games following GTA SA. In their following games, we've got sasquatch, UFOs, strange NPCs and ghosts.
A very fun look back at my all time favourite game and a genre of TH-cam videos that I spent way too much time immersing myself in as a kid. I specifically remember that horrendous photoshop job at 14:16 showing up in tonnes of videos. Wonderful work as usual Jay
Idk man, There is something so scary about roaming around the forests of San Andreas at a foggy weather or rainy weather, I feel venerable af even tho I know there is nothing, I have played some actual horror games and they are not as scary as this, Its the way Rockstar designs these place, Its timeless
I remember my friends and I exploring the abandoned sprunk factory in GTA IV and trying to scare each other. I was the first guy in the group to get the zombie skin and I'd jump out and stab them for a laugh. We never found anything, but the memories are definitely cherished.
MAN your channel rules dude. You got yourself another subscriber (and you deserve several hundreds of thousands more). please keep making these videos that seem to appeal specifically to me and I will keep watching.
"(and you deserve several hundreds of thousands more)" True, but the uploads are way too infrequent, titles and thumbnails are too bland. And don't even get me started on tags and channel keywords... Finding a better tagged video and getting like one of the videos recommended (let's be honest here, most of recent subscribers probably got recommended the "empty multiplayer maps are spooky" video due to the "Source games are creepy" video) is the only way to find this channel
The windows aren't just blue. The map that came with the game calls it "Cult farm". And DaviDustin did an investigation into it and found some really weird stuff going on.
When I was a kid I would stay up all night watching the myths videos and hunting Bigfoot. That intro was a nice dose of nostalgia. I knew the x files theme from these videos before I learned where the song actually came from.
I loved hunting for bigfoot as a kid, and the ghost cars in the same forest made it creepier, even though apparently they just have a spawn at a hill and roll down naturally
Oh damn, nostalgia trip. Back when my innocent soul didn't know know what jumpscares were and managed to wander from "San Andreas Ghost Car" videos to THE "Ghost car" video. Always kept an eye out for suspicious content with only 1 or 2 stars after that.
I never had the luxury of the internet in my household until 2006/7, so when I came across a masked attacker with a chainsaw spawning on one side of a bridge in the Back O' Beyond area, it certainly wasn't someone else's tale. But then again it could have been a dream I remember which engrained as though I actually experienced it. I really can't say, but it was so vivid at the time.
I used to love watching old San Andreas mystery videos from the internet in 2009 2010 after the earlier 2000’s and this brings back good memories of my past 😏
I usually really don’t recommend things to TH-camrs but I would genuinely love to know your opinion about Bully: Scholarship Edition, Rockstar’s most underrated classic.
Your videos have great production value! They're very interesting to watch (not just listen, as I usually would with this type of video essays), are amazingly paced, at least for my taste, and drive some good points home with no more fumbling than would be entertaining, feeding thought. Not so much a comment on this last one, but on your last 10, excluding albums, which I have just finished binging. Please, keep making them if possible; no matter if they're infrequent. They're a great perspective.
Its common for open world games to have random vehicles out in the middle of nowhere so you don't have to walk back. I think the ghost cars where essential that just with a damaged look to give the impression its abandoned or crashed
What you're saying at the end there is basically true of everyone who's into ghosts, cryptids, and aliens in real life as well. Anyway, good video man, can't wait for the next one.
"If it's not a bug it's an easter egg, if it's not an easter egg it's leftover beta content, and if it's not leftover beta content it's schizophernia'' Lmao
The Apalache thing is so weird to me. It is basically something that wasn't in the game and wasn't a mystery and then the devs added a bunch of stuff because there were rumors. So the rumors made the thing come to life.
Love your stuff mate, watched most of your videos and continually rewatch them, I know what TH-cam's like, ive had a TH-cam channel (two actually) and a fuckton of mates that spent years on theirs with no progress, but I think your doing good, and I love what your doing. Please do more classic game review, I love the format, even if it's been done a million times, one thing you do that I haven't seen before, is your interest in the mood of a game, the individual scenes and ambiance, which is super neat. Please keep it up, and know that blokes like me love your stuff. Oh, and if you have a discord, I'd probably join it
I have had that radio audio thing happen to be multiple times when I used to play my Xbox 360 on my old crt tv as a kid, when playing Fallout and GTA iV. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy.
Just twenty years ago was a time when we weren't all jaded and used to disappointment. The next giant open world map wasn't just another giant open world map to dismiss because we'd seen so many of them. It was an endless frontier of dense woods and vast deserts. It was full of magic and wonder. And regardless of what anybody else said, there WERE monsters lurking SOMEWHERE in that magical, giant video game map. You just hadn't found them yet because you weren't done searching. You weren't dying inside yet.
Honestly back when i was like 12 - 14 i used to play this game all the time, but i didn't understand the story, hell.... i didn't even know english (i live in mexico) lmao. I just wanted to explore the forest and the desert to find these sort of things... I remember i had a blast just looking for big foot, or some random thing in a lake that i saw in a youtube video (that turned out to be a mod xD), or going to the lil' prob inn to check the supposed UFO sighting locations, or the abandoned town in las brujas to check if the supposed screams and voices could be heard... probably the most fun i had in a videogame back in the day
The only real GTA myth I've encountered is the Ghost Kate myth from GTA 4. As we know, Niko's girlfriend dies at the end of the story, in one of the two endings. For some reason, a bug can happen, wich causes Kate to sometimes call you on a date after her DEATH. It's really creepy, just playing and then a dead character calls you all of a sudden, and you go on a date with her, and it plays out completely normal, like nothing ever happened. And it only happens in one of my saves
Im glad you explained the pedestrain falling thing. I remember a long time ago watching one of those videos of someone bigfoot hunting and like many of them they found nothing. But in the comments someone pointed out a time stamp and said something like "it looks like he found you instead" and in the vid you could see what looked like a human figure jumping from a tree. The uploader of the vid never acknowledged it and it was barely visible so i never thought of it as a fake but never knew until now what it mightve been
this brings me back when i was a kid playing san andreas, my speakers would constantly pick up random phone calls and it was so weird hearing random speech while exploring forests and desers of gta lol, i was scared shitless from it
I could literally throwback all the way to the GTA3 video when I say this. Old games, especially open world, have this effect on you that will always make you uncomfortable in certain situations and places. This can really trick your brain into looking too deep into it. Personally I love the feeling and while it can often lead you to be quite silly, when you find a bug or a glitch, the feeling can be quite surreal. Especially trying to find the logical explanation can provide for a more immersive experience. (It's almost as if once we solve something we go back to find something else to solve.)
You LEGEND, Jay! I think I'll finally subcribe to you after watching this last video. xD THANK YOU for the nostalgic intro! Brings me back to my childhood. cx
I think everyone who played it has their own SA story. Like, as a kid I swore to god the ghost car had lights on and got angry at CJ for hitting it. Obviously this didn't happen, but a young child's overactive imagination along with false memories are a very interesting thing to discuss to me
Did anyone else ever use the glitch at the Area 69 base? Getting off a motorcycle over a specific grate to clip into the tunnels underneath? I remember doing that and having my mind blown
"If it's not a bug, it's an easter egg
If it's not an easter egg, it's leftover beta content

There is just something I can't explain about looking for something that doesn't exist in Rockstar games.

I've actually seen a ghost car in San Andreas. Saw a car driving around one of the roads with no npc in it. I followed it for a bit, but I think it disappeared once I turned the camera away.
It's more likely a bug than an intentional thing though. But I saw it for sure.
I’m so glad you talked about this topic. Because for something I remember being so popular on TH-cam when I was 10, I don’t see anyone ever mention or remember this “myth era” of TH-cam. I spent hours trying to find mysteries in San Andreas until I ended up thinking I saw a ghost or a figure or whatever. It freaked me the hell out.
I LOVE when open world games have secrets. Huge, freaky, dark secrets. Growing up I wished desperately that San Andreas and GTA IV had something to find because my imagination was wild and hopeful.
This video brings back so many memories. I remember as a kid I watched so many '''GTA myths'' videos. They all had the fucking X-files theme too.
If you haven't seen Oddheader and some of the weird bugs he uncovers I would recommend. Going back to the Perfect Dark Ghost, In Saint's Row 2 there's literally a bug that would cause the silhouette of the top half of a human to project itself onto any random wall for a single frame before freezing the entire game. Sounds fake and yet this creepypasta stuff happens.
Not only would it freeze I’ve heard it straight up bricks the copy of the game
I tried for hours and hours one weekend to find big foot on San Andreas. One of the rumors said driving the monster truck around woods of the country for 6 hours would make him come after you. And of course I wasted those hours trying to no avail.
0:00 mannnn i miss being a kid on youtube and seeing videos like that, simple times.
Ahhh the nostalgia.
I like how Rockstar put more mythical stuff in their games following GTA SA. In their following games, we've got sasquatch, UFOs, strange NPCs and ghosts.
I Deadass subscribed yesterday went and saw your last upload was 6 months ago and got sad
Then you dropped this, thank you
Thanks for the heart
Cheers mate
A very fun look back at my all time favourite game and a genre of TH-cam videos that I spent way too much time immersing myself in as a kid. I specifically remember that horrendous photoshop job at 14:16 showing up in tonnes of videos. Wonderful work as usual Jay
Idk man, There is something so scary about roaming around the forests of San Andreas at a foggy weather or rainy weather, I feel venerable af even tho I know there is nothing, I have played some actual horror games and they are not as scary as this, Its the way Rockstar designs these place, Its timeless
I remember my friends and I exploring the abandoned sprunk factory in GTA IV and trying to scare each other. I was the first guy in the group to get the zombie skin and I'd jump out and stab them for a laugh. We never found anything, but the memories are definitely cherished.
The Bigfoot myth gave me and my friends many hours of extra playtime on this game. I remember many nights just walking around in the woods at night
San Andreas is just an amazingly detailed and large open world for a 2004 game, at the time it really felt like there could be anything out there
MAN your channel rules dude. You got yourself another subscriber (and you deserve several hundreds of thousands more). please keep making these videos that seem to appeal specifically to me and I will keep watching.
"(and you deserve several hundreds of thousands more)"
True, but the uploads are way too infrequent, titles and thumbnails are too bland. And don't even get me started on tags and channel keywords... Finding a better tagged video and getting like one of the videos recommended (let's be honest here, most of recent subscribers probably got recommended the "empty multiplayer maps are spooky" video due to the "Source games are creepy" video) is the only way to find this channel
@@kyre4189 man shut the fuck up what the hell do you do
The windows aren't just blue. The map that came with the game calls it "Cult farm". And DaviDustin did an investigation into it and found some really weird stuff going on.
When I was a kid I would stay up all night watching the myths videos and hunting Bigfoot. That intro was a nice dose of nostalgia. I knew the x files theme from these videos before I learned where the song actually came from.
I remember being afraid of forests, Mount Chiliad, CJ's house, etc... Era of GTA SA mysteries were top tier
I loved hunting for bigfoot as a kid, and the ghost cars in the same forest made it creepier, even though apparently they just have a spawn at a hill and roll down naturally
How tf did you manage to take me back to my childhood in 30 seconds or less
Oh damn, nostalgia trip. Back when my innocent soul didn't know know what jumpscares were and managed to wander from "San Andreas Ghost Car" videos to THE "Ghost car" video. Always kept an eye out for suspicious content with only 1 or 2 stars after that.
And when the world needed him most, he returned.
This intro has given me chills. My childhood was this song and shitty edits of old videos. Perfection.
I never had the luxury of the internet in my household until 2006/7, so when I came across a masked attacker with a chainsaw spawning on one side of a bridge in the Back O' Beyond area, it certainly wasn't someone else's tale. But then again it could have been a dream I remember which engrained as though I actually experienced it. I really can't say, but it was so vivid at the time.
Joyless vids are the hidden corners in a game of TH-cam and I can't stop watching them
I used to love watching old San Andreas mystery videos from the internet in 2009 2010 after the earlier 2000’s and this brings back good memories of my past 😏
You're out here debunking everyone's childhood haha you're evil!
Glad to see you're still around making videos!
Cheers bro
The intro you made gave me nostalgia like a truck hitting me at 82MPH on an empty street
I usually really don’t recommend things to TH-camrs but I would genuinely love to know your opinion about Bully: Scholarship Edition, Rockstar’s most underrated classic.
sick game 👌
I love how there is an unused bear in GTA:SA, but no one ever utilized it as far as I know.
Love your videos man, stick them on at night when I'm relaxing. 👍
I've always wondered, why is CJ's house's floor so impossibly shiny, looks like a basketball court in there
This man knows how to put thoughts in words so straightforward and clear
Your videos have great production value! They're very interesting to watch (not just listen, as I usually would with this type of video essays), are amazingly paced, at least for my taste, and drive some good points home with no more fumbling than would be entertaining, feeding thought. Not so much a comment on this last one, but on your last 10, excluding albums, which I have just finished binging. Please, keep making them if possible; no matter if they're infrequent. They're a great perspective.
That start reminds me of all those myth videos from like a decade ago.
I think you might be onto something there...
I remember reading that the ''ghost cars'' were put in for the players to use if they lost their vehicles.
Its common for open world games to have random vehicles out in the middle of nowhere so you don't have to walk back. I think the ghost cars where essential that just with a damaged look to give the impression its abandoned or crashed
What you're saying at the end there is basically true of everyone who's into ghosts, cryptids, and aliens in real life as well.
Anyway, good video man, can't wait for the next one.
I remember searching up creepy stuff about this back when I played it long time ago in 2006-2007
Your channel is so underrated, I love your content so much! Recently found you and have watched nearly all your vids keep it up man!
"If it's not a bug it's an easter egg, if it's not an easter egg it's leftover beta content, and if it's not leftover beta content it's schizophernia''
Lmao
7:20 bro that scared the hella out me
The "Famous Blue Windowed House" is actually called "Cult Location" on the physical map you get in the ps2 box, so I suppose there's that.
I remember seeing and killing Big Foot in San Andreas on the ps2 version at a friends place. Makes me wonder if it was a modified version.
The Apalache thing is so weird to me. It is basically something that wasn't in the game and wasn't a mystery and then the devs added a bunch of stuff because there were rumors. So the rumors made the thing come to life.
Damn that ghost gif at 7:20 scared an embarrassing amount.
Fr same
That intro made my eyes teary😂
Gosh can't forgot the good ol' gta sa days
Love your stuff mate, watched most of your videos and continually rewatch them, I know what TH-cam's like, ive had a TH-cam channel (two actually) and a fuckton of mates that spent years on theirs with no progress, but I think your doing good, and I love what your doing.
Please do more classic game review, I love the format, even if it's been done a million times, one thing you do that I haven't seen before, is your interest in the mood of a game, the individual scenes and ambiance, which is super neat.
Please keep it up, and know that blokes like me love your stuff.
Oh, and if you have a discord, I'd probably join it
I have had that radio audio thing happen to be multiple times when I used to play my Xbox 360 on my old crt tv as a kid, when playing Fallout and GTA iV. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy.
That intro just earned u a sub my friend! Truly top tier content
Just twenty years ago was a time when we weren't all jaded and used to disappointment. The next giant open world map wasn't just another giant open world map to dismiss because we'd seen so many of them. It was an endless frontier of dense woods and vast deserts. It was full of magic and wonder. And regardless of what anybody else said, there WERE monsters lurking SOMEWHERE in that magical, giant video game map. You just hadn't found them yet because you weren't done searching. You weren't dying inside yet.
Honestly back when i was like 12 - 14 i used to play this game all the time, but i didn't understand the story, hell.... i didn't even know english (i live in mexico) lmao. I just wanted to explore the forest and the desert to find these sort of things... I remember i had a blast just looking for big foot, or some random thing in a lake that i saw in a youtube video (that turned out to be a mod xD), or going to the lil' prob inn to check the supposed UFO sighting locations, or the abandoned town in las brujas to check if the supposed screams and voices could be heard... probably the most fun i had in a videogame back in the day
The only real GTA myth I've encountered is the Ghost Kate myth from GTA 4. As we know, Niko's girlfriend dies at the end of the story, in one of the two endings. For some reason, a bug can happen, wich causes Kate to sometimes call you on a date after her DEATH. It's really creepy, just playing and then a dead character calls you all of a sudden, and you go on a date with her, and it plays out completely normal, like nothing ever happened. And it only happens in one of my saves
I feel the better title for this is “some English bloke crapping on for 25 minutes”
Damn memories, I LITERALLY STARTED my TH-cam account to make a video about GTA myths
Im glad you explained the pedestrain falling thing. I remember a long time ago watching one of those videos of someone bigfoot hunting and like many of them they found nothing. But in the comments someone pointed out a time stamp and said something like "it looks like he found you instead" and in the vid you could see what looked like a human figure jumping from a tree. The uploader of the vid never acknowledged it and it was barely visible so i never thought of it as a fake but never knew until now what it mightve been
i love your videos so much. they help me through alot. please never stop making them, they are very entertaining and neat! greetings from norway =)
I’ll never forget watching the Bigfoot GTA San Andreas videos only for it to be a fucking Jumpscare 😂😂💀
this brings me back when i was a kid playing san andreas, my speakers would constantly pick up random phone calls and it was so weird hearing random speech while exploring forests and desers of gta lol, i was scared shitless from it
This was awesome! The intro was so awesome. I checked the upload date like 4 times to make sure it wasn't from like 2009 lol
9:30 can't tell if I'm supposed to be seeing a ghost in the fog somewhere or I'm missing the joke, but all I hear is a frog sound effect
Nah you got it. I was talking about the ghost frog.
My favorite tidbit from the GTA SA Myths Wiki is the quote "Racism is an Easter Egg in GTA San Andreas, GTA IV and GTA V."
Ah the good old days of watching thesemyths back in the late 2000s early 10s
That intro's straight out of 2006-2008 era youtube
I could literally throwback all the way to the GTA3 video when I say this. Old games, especially open world, have this effect on you that will always make you uncomfortable in certain situations and places. This can really trick your brain into looking too deep into it.
Personally I love the feeling and while it can often lead you to be quite silly, when you find a bug or a glitch, the feeling can be quite surreal.
Especially trying to find the logical explanation can provide for a more immersive experience. (It's almost as if once we solve something we go back to find something else to solve.)
10:42 fast moving invisible entity near CJ
Phenomenal quality for a "san andreas video" really enjoyed that.
Ok come on. It was fun being little and looking for ghosts and stuff in GTA. For me it was GTA IV and red dead redemption. Lot of good memories
You LEGEND, Jay! I think I'll finally subcribe to you after watching this last video. xD
THANK YOU for the nostalgic intro! Brings me back to my childhood. cx
Criminally underrated channel
Hey that was a good vid my guy, thoroughly enjoyed it, here's one more sub to you
I think everyone who played it has their own SA story. Like, as a kid I swore to god the ghost car had lights on and got angry at CJ for hitting it. Obviously this didn't happen, but a young child's overactive imagination along with false memories are a very interesting thing to discuss to me
Did anyone else ever use the glitch at the Area 69 base? Getting off a motorcycle over a specific grate to clip into the tunnels underneath? I remember doing that and having my mind blown
This really brings me back to an older time of youtube
damn for the first seconds i really thought it was going to be an old school moviemaker vid.
As a kid I had San Andreas and Silent Hill 2 on my PS2 and it was impossible not to draw parallels between them with that fog
dude how do you not have more subs your vids are amazing
