Did players actually believe the Lake Meade Monster was anything other than just a reference to people in-universe misidentifying the resurfaced bomber though? Since that line only ever plays after Volare is complete.
It's a reference to the ""surgeon's photograph" the most famous alleged picture of the Loch Ness Monster taken in 1934 and proven to be a hoax in the 1990's, basically the hoaxer had used a deliberately badly exposed photo to make a figurine look bigger than it really was. Also it's always amused me that the hoaxer's day job was gynaecologist.
@@Suiseisexy I understood the reference the game was making, I was more surprised the video claims players actually thought there was a monster instead of that reference being made about people mistaking the bomber for a creature
Well, there was one guy I heard of who was buried in Goodsprings Cemetery, rose from the grave, and tracked his killers across the length of the Mojave even to the heart of the strip itself. That's pretty spooky.
My favourite part of grenade guy is that they describe him as making sounds of the bike backfiring as well. It's a nice little touch that gets overlooked in the whole conversation.
Don't quote me on this, i remember reading long ago that "Grenade Guy" is a nod to "Al ChestBreach" a Fallout youtuber who does the same type of stuff as GG, he supposedly gave the series a huge boost in popularity in the early-mid 2010s due to his mod videos.
I loved all the weird bugs in these games. I commonly had gibbed corpses "respawn" after a save and reload where they would either stand in place with all their gibbed bodyparts in the right place until you touch them and they fall apart, or the best, running in place and constantly shit talking me with their gibbed head parts floating in place until I put him down again.
Yeah! I think the burned corpses thing might also be because of that. On multiple plays I had the girl on the Omerta's quest respawn and walk around the room. It was so weird, and my first thought was "oh man, now I'm gonna be unable to finish this quest"

I can't believe anyone thought the "Lake Mead Monster" was anything other than that plane. Those ghost whispers are literally just that, whispers played at gravesites.
In addition to the Tribal Village bodies, Trash at the Old Nuclear Test Site can reanimate, as well as the Gomorrah dancer that Clanden killed, whose corpse is headless, but reanimated perfectly fine (except that speaking with her gives the same options as if she were dead).
How did people not realize that the Lske Mead Moster was actually the bomber you raised from the bottom of the lake? You'd think it'd be obvious when that part of the broadcast plays after you complete the quest Volare.
I actually did encounter the ‘burned bodies’ glitch in my 3rd or 4th playthrough of New Vegas; it was weird, but I did love how ED-E pretty much just ‘took the shuttle to murder-town’, and waded into the mass of corpses and cazadores… 👀🤖🔥
Honestly the Arlington ghost would have been a great Easter egg there The restless spirit of a soldier mourning another who fell in combat over 200 years ago would fit in so well with fallouts supernatural aspects
I feel like ghosts is something Fallout doesn't lean into enough, a sudden death event like a nuke going off would be a prime event for making ghosts, not to mention fallout 2 and 4 definitely have sidequests involving ghosts
A lot of myths require the dying to be going through severe emotions in order to create a ghost. A sudden event like the Great War might not have been the most viable for this.
@@____________838 thousands if not millions of people dying at once though would definitely have an impact spiritually, though to be precise its not like everyone didn't see the nukes dropping, like at the start of 4 where people see it happening in the distance and the radio/tv broadcasts, there was definitely time for severe emotions to build up before people got snapped out of existence
i encountered the burned bodies glitch for the first time during my most recent playthrough of new Vegas and it caught me off guard but I did not hesitate in putting them down.
the Mew Vegas ghosts may not exist. but the ambient sound that activates when close to or in the graveyards. that us real. it only activates when in or close to the graveyards. i have heard them myself. the sound is very different from the rest of the ambient noises.
“Poey” like Edgar Allen Poe _would_ be a clever (or obvious) name for a post-apocalyptic “unknown soldier” ghost which honestly the idea of makes me cry because of its emotional weight if I saw a grunt apparition salute some graves and then me I’d happily salute right back
I'm the one who came up with the hoax, I got the idea of the soldier saluting the grave from the ending of Metal Gear Solid 3. Arlington is the perfect place for something like that, and more believable due to the irl Arlington being a cemetery almost made of entirely dead US soldiers
AH! That explains why I got jumped by a bunch of zombie-lookin' bastids that were dead before when I came to that camp and killed the cazadors previously. I thought it was a console glitch. I felt bad offin' everybody but Cass had already opened fire so I wasn't waiting to ask questions.
I had the burned bodies one happen to me the other day and it was spooky. I literally watched two "burned body" characters clip up off the ground, had them attack me, and killed them in one hit. Freaky glitch.
Hey! Its the guy who made the original post on the Fandom. It was indeed a hoax. I was trolling the wiki as i often did and never intended for it to go this far. I had no clue until watching this that there was any talk of it outside the wiki. I figured it was long forgotten by now. I havent really checked since because i was banned shortly after for trolling. The screenshot i got from google images for the cemetery, and as for poey, i used a screenshot from a geck tutorial here on TH-cam. I spent about a total of 5 minutes formulating a story and the images. Its funny the one time i dont do an elaborate hoax, and instead to a rushed one without much thought its the one that actually takes off. Sorry guys, just doing a little trolling.
Once early in a playthrough I went to the camp with the body's there were no Cazador's. like a fool I slept in one the tents ... I think anyway I ended up stuck in the tent because the game loaded in the Cazador's and I had not saved for a while good times. Thanks for the video duder.
The tribal village living dead glitch actually happened to me in my first playthrough of F:NV, I'll be honest it didn't really freak me out. Because I didn't realize they were the dead bodies from my first time I passed through that place and i just killed them without a second thought. It was only after tried looting them did it occur to me they were one in the same.
After 450 hours into starfield i decided to try out Fallout 4 for the first time ever and i like it so far. Im glad i didnt start on survivor cause ive already died about 7-8 times on very hard. I have owned both Skyrim and FO4 since they came out on digital and have never once played them.
So hear me out… i heard a theory that potentially the “blue ghoul whale “ could have been a beluga whale but like with a game of telephone it got changed/mis heard as a blue ghoul whale.
I love you cover the Bethesda-era Fallout games urban legends/myths, sans the “NCR wins in 4” myth. But, I thought you can cover all of Fallout games’ urban legends/myths, starting with 1.

Yeah, I’m just as surprised they didn’t put two and two together

@chancesettlemire4358 You'd be surprised how few brain cells many ppl actually have.

Will say I did Google that a few months ago BC I'm dumb

That’s just a wasteland myth, man!

The best thing about Grenade Guy is that he can believably fit perfectly in the FO world.

its like the crazy puppet vault survivor.... lol
The lake monster is just in reference to the bomber plane that the boomers drag back up

Grenade guy seems like the kind of dude id want to be homies with. he scares raiders away and/or brings some laughs

Ghost in the cemetery?...."huh must have been the wind"
I made the hoax
Honestly the Arlington ghost would have been a great Easter egg there

I guess Michael Winslow survived as a ghoul, and roams the wastes as: Grenade Guy!!!!! :)
This is now my head-canon. He went from checking on the Bleeps, the Sweeps, and the Creeps to just trying to survive the wasteland.

I was today years old when i learned there's a cemetery on Nellis. I love this game
the prevalence of these myths about these games is so wild considering just how easy it is to open the games up and look at them for yourself
The Goodsprings cemetery ghost voices are confirmed to exist. They have a set start time each night and play for a couple of minutes
i encountered the burned bodies glitch for the first time during my most recent playthrough of new Vegas and it caught me off guard but I did not hesitate in putting them down.
Actually no the New Vegas cemeteries are haunted. The graves have audio markers for the whispers.
the Mew Vegas ghosts may not exist. but the ambient sound that activates when close to or in the graveyards. that us real. it only activates when in or close to the graveyards. i have heard them myself. the sound is very different from the rest of the ambient noises.

The tribal camp bodies coming back to life actually happened to me like 3 days ago on the 360 version when I was playing on my series
How tf did anyone not realize the Lake Mead Monster was the B-29? lol
Jfc
i always go to lone wolf radio to get parts to repair ed-e in the early game
I thought the lake mead monster was referring to the b-29??? Man what was I smoking 🤣 ig there could be an actual monster!
I had the burned bodies one happen to me the other day and it was spooky. I literally watched two "burned body" characters clip up off the ground, had them attack me, and killed them in one hit. Freaky glitch.

The best legend is that the game was rigged from the start
(which it is cause its a programmed game)
Gary is the among the legends of Fallout! GARY GARY GARY!
There actually is whispers in goodsprings cemetery, if you get close enough to certain graves you can gear it
Once early in a playthrough I went to the camp with the body's there were no Cazador's. like a fool I slept in one the tents ... I think anyway I ended up stuck in the tent because the game loaded in the Cazador's and I had not saved for a while good times. Thanks for the video duder.
Lol the corpse attacked me as a kid I thought the game was haunted 😭😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂i tought ppl would directly understand that lake mead monster was just the B29 😂😂😂whahaa

Bots! BOTS EVERYWHERE 😂 - that's a mystery in it self
I think I've had the burned bodies happen but just assumed they were new spawns in. I didn't even consider that they were the burned bodies.
Love the videos dude
Wouldn't the lake Mead monster just be the bomber?
After 450 hours into starfield i decided to try out Fallout 4 for the first time ever and i like it so far. Im glad i didnt start on survivor cause ive already died about 7-8 times on very hard. I have owned both Skyrim and FO4 since they came out on digital and have never once played them.
I was under the impression grenade guy was a police academy reference
2:27 they didnt even THINK it was just fossils???
Grenade guy sounds scary
The burned bodies always respawn for men, but they have bascially no HP and are quickly killed
Just report the Bots.
New Vegas players need to cut back on the drinking or pot if they see ghost in those cemeteries, lol.
So hear me out… i heard a theory that potentially the “blue ghoul whale “ could have been a beluga whale but like with a game of telephone it got changed/mis heard as a blue ghoul whale.
Maybe the real myths and legends were the companions we made along the way
Never had the burned bodies attack first.
I love you cover the Bethesda-era Fallout games urban legends/myths, sans the “NCR wins in 4” myth.

Hol up is there a mod adding grenade guy to fallout 4?
rip benny
"But do you *know*?"
i love him to much
all these bots
The first real person here lol
Norte literally ignoring the ghost sound files in fallout new vegas
First view😏😏😏 I have always loved the myths and legends of fallout🩷
