I think it goes without saying at this point, but Red Dead Redemption 2 is a monster of a title when it comes to Easter Eggs and hidden secrets, with players still rooting out content to this very day. From UFOs to Vampires to ManBearPigs, Rockstars Western Epic is stuffed to the brim with weird asides.

And of course, it's a title that isn't afraid to get extremely creepy from time to time, featuring ghost trails, horrific incest loving murder hillbillies, and of course, the deadly Nite Folk which forms the backbone of these next dark and horrible secret.

While travelling the swamps at night, the player may sometimes spy on a woman crying out for help as she runs through the trees. Now alarm bells should immediately begin ringing as you witness how she can almost float over difficult terrain, but should you approach her then you'll witness another unholy power in action.

If you get too close, she will reveal herself to be a member of the Nite Folk, a group of people who live in the swamps and who rob and murder people for their possessions. What's scarier than that though is the fact that these dank dwellers can kill the player in one hit and the fact that the woman's screams cause them to spawn in near you!

Suddenly you'll find yourself surrounded on all sides with nowhere to run, and trust me it's utterly terrifying.

To add some creepy salt to the wound turns out this woman in white is actually based on a real-life folk legend, La Llorona, who weeps loudly near swamps and pools of water for the children who drowned in them. Best give this one a wide berth ey?
