10 Amazing Unsolved GTA V Mysteries

6. Bigfoot

The mystery of the sasquatch has hung heavy over the Grand Theft Auto series. The vastly wider world to explore in San Andreas (coupled with the slightly shonky PS2 graphics) bore all sorts of urban legends and mysteries, with players insisting they'd bumped into everyone from Bigfoot to Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre whilst exploring the expanse of the forests, deserts and cityscapes throughout the game. Both of which turned out to be total nonsense. Bigfoot has become something of a running joke in Rockstar games since then, making an actual appearance during a mission in the Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare add-on, where you make the sasquatches extinct. Apparently they're still alive and kicking over in the Grand Theft Auto universe, however, making a brief cameo during the Predator mission, visible in a forest using a thermal camera on a helicopter. In a later mission after the main story arc is complete, you get to bump into someone pretending to be Bigfoot ala the Patterson-Gimlin film. Supposedly the actual sasquatch must be out there somewhere, though, for him to have made that earlier appearance, with some players positing that he can be found in the woods...if you look hard enough. Still no proof, though.
