<br>As it turns out, Los Santos has its own serial killer, Merle Abrahams, and amateur sleuths have parsed his clues to find the spot where he stashed his victims' bodies. The mystery starts at the killer's house in Sandy Shores, Blaine County. Inside the burnt down house is a message that reads "there will be 8," a reference to the number of people Merle supposedly killed. Other clues are scattered across the map–a morose poem scrawled on a rock, a creepy etching in a prison cell, a newspaper clipping in an abandoned shack–all leading to the location of the bodies just off the coast of Paleto Bay. Hats off to Rockstar for including an actual conspiracy in GTA V that that players can work to unra<br><br> <br>One of the most elaborate GTA V conspiracy theories states that Michael De Santa, one of the game's three playable characters, was actually dead the whole time. Stay with me here. The theory was first put forth by Reddit user Jetpack_Jones and it all begins with a quote from the first Tract of Epsilon, the in-game cult, so you know it's gonna be good. Heavily summarized, the theory posits that a series of inconsistencies in the game hints that game does not take place in 2013… or any concrete time at all. Incorrect concert dates, references to the most recent recession and some license plates have led mystery hunters to believe that the game actually takes place in roughly 2008, but that the whole game is actually a dream of Michael's. The purpose of the dream? Perhaps to accept that he's been dead the whole t<br><br> <br>Rumor has it that something is stalking the sewers of Los Santos–a wretched creature that's part human, part rat. That's the idea behind the Ratman legend in GTA V , at least. In truth, the Ratman myth goes all the way back to Grand Theft Auto III , though the best sighting of this subterranean mutant comes from Grand Theft Auto IV , as explained in this video . Like all great spur-of-the-moment monster sightings, the Ratman photograph is appropriately blurry, and yields little in the way of hard evidence. What might be a half-human, half-rat abomination is more likely a regular character model made to look unsettling in an off-kilter photograph. More realistically, it's possible that a character model simply did not load correctly and came off looking more monstrous than usual. Or, you know… Ratman li<br><br> <br>Goatman is actually a smaller piece in a much larger conspiracy theory that borrows from actual mythology to explain the many supernatural deities supposedly roaming Los Santos. The theory, from Reddit user alejcho , starts with a diagram that looks eerily familiar to an in-game poster that is the focal point in the overarching Mount Chiliad Mystery. The diagram actually has links to Cahuilla Native American mythology, which has its own godly pantheon of sorts. According to the conspiracy hunters, that pantheon lines up neatly with certain creatures and NPCs found in GTA V , not least of which being Goatman, a half-man, half-goat hybrid long rumored to secretly plague the Grand Theft Auto universe, who has been equated to Taqwus, a trickster god who comes out at night and causes mischief. The theory even posits that Ursula, the handicapped lighthouse operator, was victim to a god's obsess<br><br> <br>When an emergency or a crime is taking place, the police is usually not notified until someone calls 9-1-1. And even then, it takes a while before they arrive, may it be because your call is not a priority at that moment, Open World games maps or because of traffic. Whatever the reason, they don’t spawn instantly at the scene. However, in GTA V , the emergency services seem to be aware you’re committing a crime the instant you start act<br><br> <br>It's a well-known story throughout the GTA V fandom of the ghost girl that can be seen on Mount Gordo. What many gamers don't know is that this legend is based on a real-life paranormal site known as Mount Gordon, PA. A similar story exists, where onlookers unwillingly encounter the ghost of a woman. In the game, you can hear her screams and indiscriminate whispers while standing near the bottom of Mount Gordo which is likely related to the ghost that can be found at the top of the mountain. It's not confirmed whether or not this is actually the same ghost girl, but either way, the sounds are entirely disturb<br><br> <br>If you piece together the clues of the Infinity Murders, which you will find all throughout the city, you’ll eventually be led to the coast of Paleto Bay, which is all the way North. With your scuba equipment (because you’ll have to go deep into the water), you’ll have to dive around the archipelagos in order to find the bodies… and they are all wrapped in plastic! Let’s be honest, GTA V is really creepy, and this is only the tip of the iceb<br><br> <br>Head off into the Great Chaparra mountains for an afternoon sojourn and you may happen upon a boarded-up mineshaft. Depending on which version of the game you own, you may be able to get inside–any explosive will clear the way (entering the mineshaft is only supported on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC versions of the game, while Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will find a brick wall blocking their path). A thorough exploration of the mine (as seen in this video ) leaves much to be desired. While players have reported hearing voices and footsteps in the mine, typically all that can be heard are the sounds of bats and the creak of the shaft's weathered supports. That hasn't kept GTA V 's mystery-seeking community from rampant speculation, though, as some still believe the mineshaft is haun<br>
