GTA 5 is a video game phenomenon the likes of which is rarely repeated. Launched in 2013 on Xbox 360 and PS3, and later on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, the game continues to be a worldwide sales success. GTA 5 has sold 95 million units and counting. This is a staggering achievement, but how many of those millions of players know about GTA 5's many hidden secrets?

GTA 5 Secret 10. Bermuda Triangle
Some fans have discovered a bizarre mistake in GTA Online that bears a striking resemblance to the myth of the Bermuda Triangle. For those who are not aware, the Bermuda Triangle consists of a triangular area in the North Atlantic, with three points connecting the coast of southern Florida, Puerto Rico and the island of Bermuda.
This area is infamous due to the mysterious supposed disappearances of aircraft and ships, with innumerable conspiracy theories suggesting the involvement of aliens, spells, monsters, dimensional portals or even Atlantis (although this legendary underwater city is, as a rule, associated with the Mediterranean Sea).
In GTA Online there is also a triangular area in the water created by the Paleto Bunker points, the location of the Yachts A Series and the North end of Paleto Bay. You can see the location in the image below.
Basically, as soon as a player enters this area, whether it is sailing or flying at low altitude (the height needed to activate this bug hasn't been verified), they will be teleported back without their vehicle. Many players have tested the bug and it worked numerous times.
Also, if you have to do a delivery or grocery quest - one of the Biker Missions brings you to this area - you will be teleported back to the coast and you will lose both your vehicle and the products you had, so be careful.
GTA 5 Secret 9. Is That Kanye West?
One of the NPCs present in GTA 5 caught the attention of some players because of their resemblances to a highly controversial music star: Kanye West. That's right, several players have managed to detect the rapper behind hits like Gold Digger and Heartless.
Of course, Kanye's inclusion in GTA 5 hasn't been confirmed by Rockstar and, despite the more or less striking appearance of the NPC, it is impossible to find him in a certain location - this Kanye NPC appears randomly to each player, which means you have to keep your eye open and do if you want to find it.
Take a look at the following picture and give us your opinion: Is this Kanye in GTA 5?
GTA 5 Secret 8. Ghost of Jolene Cranely
Mount Gordo is one of the three mountains that you can find in GTA 5, the others being Mount Chiliad and Mount Josiah. Mount Gordo is the smallest peak in the state. It is located northeast of Blaine County. The ghost of Jolene Cranely-Evan can be found on this mountain.
The Story of Jolene Cranely-Evan
In 1978, Jolene Cranley-Evans and her husband, Jock Cranley, were walking along the cliffs overlooking the El Gordo lighthouse. The couple had marital problems. Jock wanted to leave Blaine County, but Jolene wanted to stay, saying she had to take care of her parents and run her successful guest house. As a result, during the walk, Jock pushed Jolene down the cliff of Monte Gordo and later she died of internal injuries due to her fall. Police concluded that Jolene fell off the cliff by accident, and Jock was released without charge (despite being covered in blood).
Location and details
Jolene's ghost appears at the top of Mount Gordo in the evening between 11 pm and midnight. When the player approaches, it disappears. On the rock where the ghost floats, the name "Jock" is written in blood, accusing her husband (Jock Cranley) of murder. The ghost disappears from view as the player approaches. You can see the location marked on the image below.

Our GTA 5 Secrets continue with three more mysteries that the game is hiding. We break down each Easter Egg and explain just why they've become so talked about in the GTA 5 community. If you want to know all about the UFOs in GTA 5, read on.
GTA 5 Secret 7. UFOs in GTA 5
GTA 5 is the first game in the series that contains UFOs . In order to unlock this Easter Egg, you must have completed the game at 10 per cent or else they will not appear.
Once you've completed the game, UFOs can be found at three different locations: Beam Me Up, Fort Zancudo, and Mount Chiliad.
However, there is another UFO that can be found sunk on the north shore of San Andreas, just north of Procopio Beach. This is the only UFO you can view without having to complete the game.
Kind of creepy, huh?
GTA 5 Secret 6. Breaking Bad's Jessie Pinkman
This Easter Egg is undoubtedly one of the strangest of GTA 5, since it serves no purpose for the story nor is it related to the characters in it. At the northern peak of Mount Chiliad - near the cable car station - players of the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of GTA 5 may find graffiti on a face painted on the face of the mountain.
The face bears no resemblance to any character in GTA 5, but many fans believe it is a fairly faithful representation of the character of Breaking Bad's Jesse Pinkman. Others simply believe that the face belongs to one of the game's producers.
For those who have the improved version of GTA 5 on PS4, Xbox One or PC, then you're in for a bit of luck: graffiti has been replaced by another image - a penis. It seems, however, that the van used by the characters for the making of methamphetamine is also present in the game!
The meaning behind this Easter egg remains shrouded in mystery since Rockstar has not made any official comments about who the face is. Yeah, easter eggs, b***h!
GTA 5 Secret 5. Goatman
It wouldn't be a Grand Theft Auto game if there was no Easter egg referring to a semi-human creature, as it was reported that Bigfoot was included in the game. Hidden in the Catfish View bridge area, many players believe that a creature known as Goatman frequents the area. It is said that Goatman is bipedal, has his whole body covered by fur and two great horns that protrude from the top of the head.
The Goatman is believed to be based on a creature known in South Texas by the same name, who also frequents a bridge known as the Old Alton Bridge. As if this were not strange enough, the actual bridge bears a striking resemblance to the one in GTA 5 where Goatman is usually found. Local legend also states that if a car crosses the bridge without headlights, Goatman would take this as a signal and become visible - much like his behavior in the game.
Meetings with Goatman are very rare, and have rarely been captured by a camera. One lucky player was able to capture a photo of Goatman standing in the middle of the road - just before the bridge. Goatman fled the area by running under the bridge after the photo was taken. Another meeting was recorded via a YouTube video, where Goatman can be seen standing on the side of the road among some shrubs.
Goatman has long been debated among the GTA community, but I think we can all safely say that we do not want to meet him!

The GTA 5 secrets train continues, with stops scheduled for Bizarre Town and Referrence City. The final four GTA 5 screts can be found just below, including one about a much-loved 90s movie, more aliens, and huge bones.
GTA 5 Secret 4. Thelma and Louise
The GTA series is full of references to movies and TV shows, becoming a kind of hub with several honors to certain elements of pop culture. That said, Rockstar was able to include an incredible Easter egg in GTA 5 that unfolds almost identically to the 1991 classic film, Thelma and Louise. The Thelma and Louise Easter egg can be found at Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness, near Raton Canyon, between 19:00 and 20:00.
For those unfamiliar with the film, the story of the film consists of two women who decide to take a short trip to get away from the everyday routine. Things don't go how they would have liked, and the film ends with the two women driving their car towards the Grand Canyon.
You can see the famous scene from the movie below, and then the GTA 5 version just below that.
GTA 5 Secret 3. Aliens in the River
Rockstar wasted no time putting Easter eggs in GTA 5, because the first one can be found during the initial mission of the game. There is, therefore, a great probability that you are already aware of this one, but it is fascinating.
Shortly after escaping the bank that Michael and Trevor rob, you will find yourself on a snow-covered road. This easter egg can be discovered when you start to approach the curve to the right before the bridge, but in this case, you must deviate from the road and approach the river on the right.
Located directly under the bridge, you'll find an alien imprisoned on the frozen river. You'll have to be extremely fast, because by looking for the Easter egg you can miss the mission - but let's be honest, it's well worth it. If you look at the alien very closely, you will have about five to six seconds to do so before the mission fails.
GTA 5 Secret 2. Mysterious Giant Bones
The Giant Bones are another Easter Egg that can be inserted in the category of strange creatures. These are thought to be from the Megalodon, the mythical ancestral shark, lurking on the coast of Los Santos. Each GTA has been plagued by rumors and myths of this ilk, involving giant sharks and sea monsters, and although it has been demystified, it is nevertheless highly interesting.
When players scoured the bottom of the ocean with diving equipment or a submersible, rumors of such creatures arose quickly since two very large skeletons were found buried in the sand, even on the east and west shore. However, after much debate within the community, the two skeletons were classified as sperm whales - a common sea creature on the California coast.
Whale skeletons can only be found if you use diving or submersible equipment, making the Easter egg rewarding for those who are actively looking for the more hidden details present in the game.
GTA 5 Secret 1. Underwater Hatch
Located deep underwater off the east coast of San Andreas in GTA 5, players will find a small circular structure at the bottom of the ocean. The circular structure has a small rectangular window with a light that will turn on when you approach. Although the structure can not be found on land, it has immense resemblance to The Hatch from the hugely popular television series Lost.
The purpose of this structure remains unknown, since it is not part of the game's plot. Players unfortunately can't get close enough to inspect it as the pressure from the depths of the oceans will be overwhelming. However, you can get close enough to hear a noise that seems like a message in Morse code.
After this easter egg was found, the community quickly joined in and discovered that the strange noise is, in fact, Tap Code - a series of beats and short breaks. From there, some players were able to decipher the code: "Hey, you never call me, would you like to play bowling?'" This speech is an easter egg that refers to Roman Bellic, the cousin of Niko Bellic, from Grand Theft Auto IV.
