Being a kid with no access to the internet made these myths and games so much more fun. You could never just look anything up, so you basically had to investigate for yourself lol
And even if you did have info it was 2008 so a lot of websites and stuff weren’t as established, there weren’t as many gaming channels and such.
Did you hear about them from friends with internet? I wish I could've had the experience as a kid
@@ssssssssssssssssss50 I heard them from friends with internet, or sometimes I would hear them from my older brother’s friends haha
@@CodPatrol Yeah. Nowadays, people will just look into the files and immediately show proof on how it’s not real. Back then, we couldn’t really do that
Sounds like fun times. Makes me miss the days of careless childhood playing BO2 and the original red dead with my old friends.
Fun fact: On Eddie’s 2nd mission you can fail by getting too far away from him, if you do the fail text says, “Eddie is still out there… waiting”
Yeah i saw that, scary...
As a kid, this actually happened to me. Got so scared when I saw that text that I would always go into my safehouse at night as I would always think Eddie would kill me in a scary way if I was wandering around the city at night time. Man I love this game!
@@sahar3820 Eddie doesnt know where Niko lives
@@hybridAbsol He'll find out ...
@@robadoba i mean, if Niko isnt staying in Alderney that is
The amount of hours I wasted in 2008-2009 looking for Ratman was ridiculous!
When I stumbled upon the heart of liberty city I was shook
running around those subway tunnels all day
Same here, I tried so hard but never found anything. Part of me doesnt want to believe it isnt real
I feel you man. I tried to find Bigfoot and Slenderman in GTA V and GTA SA.
Same lol I would just ride around slowly on a motorcycle hoping to spot him
I laugh but if a rat humanoid ran out at me screaming "I am Ratman" I'd piss myself
I think the majority of us would 😭
He’s getting the +p
But its gta so we would probably shoot it
@@rockk9753 most people wouldn't be able to, having been using micheal's special ability and arthur and johns dead eye
Right!! It'd scare the shit out of me 😂😂😂😂
The RDR2 serial killer Edmund Lowry was actually named after Eddie Low!
It also belived that their family members and I belive it.
Zombies were a cut side activity as a video game you could play with Roman, Brucie, etc. too
“Niko! My cousin! Let’s play Zombies!”
Saints row 2 had that
You scared the shit out of me at 12:11! I genuinely didn't expect that! Good one! 🤭
I’m so happy i didn’t watch this at night. I was planning on watching this before I slept but you saved my ass. Thank you 🙏
He wasn’t trying to scare you.
7:20 I had plenty of encounters with the "glowing men" in singleplayer when I get a 6 star wanted level
Do you see them while your driving?
@@vncecuhinparis by any chance did you just run them over? is that what you do?
it probably is a glitch then,
Regarding number one there is an even creepier component of the Eddie Lowe encounter that occurs after his death. Apparently he has an online blog detailing his “activities” and this blog will continue to update even though he is dead. And so we are left with two possibilities, and both are disturbing:
1) Eddie enabled an auto update feature for his blog and backlogged a ton of content in case of his capture and incarceration or death, or
2) Through some terrifying method Eddie has discovered a way to speak from beyond the grave and he is personally updating the blog. Whether he’s doing this to freak people out or is just bored is an entire story on its own but I just thought I’d mention it in case people were not aware. I’d love to poll people or get some thoughts on what’s causing this phenomenon so feel free to drop a reply.
Or, someone else hijacked his blog. Not uncommon.
I have a theory that Eddie Low is a generational killer. In RDR2 there is a serial killer named Edmund Lowry Jr, keep the Jr in mind so obviously these two Eddies are related based on their same first and last name i believe that each Eddie has a son and calls the son Eddie. The mental illness that causes them to kill keeps getting passed down therefore the Eddie updating the blog would be Eddie Low from GTA 4s son and i think that same son moved to Los Santos and is the Infinite 8 killer...
@@topsdaily_productions infinity killer is called merle abrahams though
Dude this brings up so much 08-09 memories 😭
yall remember when we thought certain locations were haunted like the sprunk factory
or the abandoned casino

A "haunted baby stroller" is peak myth status.
Reminds me of that rusted wheelchair from GTA SA that was founded around the country side
Ik gta 5 didn’t have many spooky and mysterious stuff like this maybe the ghost on the mountain but hopefully gta 6 will implement some mystery
@@EternalNightingale ohh yeah the Mt Chilliad ghost, that was terrifying
Another interesting detail about the Karate Master is that I'm pretty sure he's either a 1 hit kill NPC or he has the ability to do the same combo fight moves as your character is able to (i.e. the ducking, countering etc). I vaguely remember fighting him when I was like 12 and dying to him.
never found him,also isnt nikos moves krav maga?
This reminds me of a moment that happened to me in the story mode of GTA V.
I was playing as Michael, I came across some Asian NPC and decided to just greet him until I “antagonize” him. But the moment the NPC got upset, he just whips out a knife and insta kills Micheal with the “insta kill” knife animation.
Since then, I’ve never seen an NPC use a knife in GTA Vs story mode (without the help of mods), nor have I ever seen an NPC actually perform a “insta kill” animation.
@@southernbrain691 its bas ruten mocaped
@@romanbellic9580 think it possibly might've been a gang member of that gang or something in the mission where you rescue Michael from getting turned into pork chop?
@@gennoble4713 it’s a possibility, but whenever I’ve tried to re create it, they’ll just try to punch me out or pull out micro SMGS and pistols.
I really wish Ratman was in the game because he would fit so well in the dark and gritty tone and atmosphere of Liberty City. The subways are really creepy at night so Ratman lurking there would've actually made me crap me pants. A creative way Rockstar could've done this would've been to do some steps to trigger Ratman to come out (kind of similar to the steps you have to do to get that UFO to appear in Red Dead Redemption 2).
I would like to add to this list. I’ve looked it up and haven’t found anyone else talking about it, but one time I saw a construction crane in gta iv lift something in the distance that looked very much like a flying saucer. It was during a mission, I don’t remember which, and it happened at the end of a long road in an out of view construction area. All I saw was a ufo briefly being lifted up and then lowered by a crane. I didn’t get more evidence at the time I saw it because I assumed it was just a scripted event as a fun little Easter egg but when I looked it up, I haven’t found a single person talking about it. I really wish I had more evidence but I swear I saw it
Not exactly a myth, nor even remotely exciting, but theres a vehicle in GTA4 called a Dundreary which is a negative nickname given to the city of Dundee, Scotland where the first ever GTA game was made. There's actually been quite a few Dundee references in the GTA games
There’s hundreds of Scottish humour in the GTA games , my personal fav is the company in gta4 called “BAWSAQ” 😆👍🏽
dundreary is the car manufacturer, not a car's name
I knew RatMan was only a myth. ManRat is 100% legit though. My friend's brother's baseball coach's nephew saw him.
As his friend's brother's baseball coach's nephew, I can confirm manrat is real
As ManRat, i can confirm that his friends brother's baseball coach's nephew is real
About the Ratman, they are audio files from an NPC (A subway worker that was deleted) talking about the Ratman or at least something similar
Could someone link these audio files? Would love to hear them.
"it's ratin time" Ratman 2008
I swear I've seen the Ratman many years ago, before I even knew what the Ratman or even an urban legend was, during the mission Four Leaf clover, he was dressed in a green jumpsuit. He was at the exit to the subway, I had missed the stairs and kept going into the room with the "yellow blood" the worker was spooked by a squad of heavily armed men wandering into his workspace and as he ran out his face was unnaturally triangular with a nose more like a rats I only caught him for that singular glimpse and have never been able to recreate it.
Probably a bug
@@glebb..3416 You're probably right.

Thank you bro what a hero
I remember that one time i was on the roof of a building checking the city out with a sniper, at one point i decided to check the train tracks and i remember watching a random npc in the middle of the tracks and i swear the NPC was looking at me, we were far away from each other and still they were looking directly at me, i remember one of their eyes being yellow or had something yellow over it, i don't recall if there's an npc that looked like that, weird stuff
the way he talks about eddie like niko isn’t also a murderer 💀
So I actually got the Zombie multiplayer skin back in the day. Allegedly it was the skin used back Rockstar developers online and if you killed/were killed by one of them you get it dropped in your skin options. Then you're "infected" and other people can get it from you. No idea if it's true but it makes sense because I never did anything out of the way to get it.
The myth I remember most for this game was the Jetpack
I liked the Jetpack in GTA SA as a kid and wondered if it was in IV as well, so I looked it up, but could never find it because it wasn't in the game
Lol a jetpack would be fitting for the TBOGT story given how theres some weird weapons there
ehhh... may be you mean parachutes? that was a let down too.
regardless GTA 4 is still the best one
@@sircartier4422 sometimes they arent accurate
@@korana6308 huh
Jeff the Killer picture was uncalled for asf 😂
Didn't expect that DSP reference 😆
You are not a gem on the rough of youtube. You are the whole treasure
Todays generation will never know about the determination we had as kids to find ratman and or a jet pack
Great to see this, played though this one for several hours alongside the expansions. Awesome stuff.
1:31 if you let him get away it will say
"he is still out there. wating"
I remember searching for Ratman as a kid
I remember you could find like orange goo on the floor in one of the maintenance closets in the subway but I could never figure out what that stuff was. Always thought it was like Ratman blood or something lol
i like how this guy calls a mysterious tree living organism "dudes"
Love GTA 4, spent an entire hour in the subway looking for ratman.
at 17:30 i can 100% confirm the spying helicopters are a real thing and they do just fly away once you get close to them. when i was a kid i heard about this and tried it on my PS3 and it freaked me out when the helicopter was there and did everything the myth says it does when every other myth was fake. hitting it will give the player a 3 star wanted level and (probably due to a glitch) the pilot will sometimes jump out of the helicopter when either approached or when the helicopter gets hit by a sniper rifle, i don't remember if he jumped out when hit by my helicopter but they will just fly in one direction before stopping again completely. i only knew about the Algonquin helicopter however so all of my testing was done with that one. pretty strange bug but fun to play around with when your 12 with nothing better to do lol
Fun fact :
Sharks literally cannot be in the game because of the lore of the game itself, which goes all the way back to GTA 3.
I didn't read up on this in pretty long time, but anyways, the story goes somehow like this.
A tanker crashes somewhere close by Liberty City which causes major oil leak, oil polluting ocean into such an extent that you literally cannot swim in it. You will drown because it's practically impossible to swim, and if you stay in the water for longer period of time, you may have serious skin conditions. (this is essentially the reason why you can't swim in GTA 3 if you didn't knew). This problem translates into modern GTA 3. Although it is said that events which happened in 3D universe don't have to be the same as in HD one, this event happened in both, and both happened at the same time pretty much. GTA 4 story is set later than GTA 3s, but the water is still heavily polluted. You can swim for some time but you still eventually drown because of how extremely tiring it is to stay on the surface (hence why NPCs die after short time of swimming, and as it happened to me, you will also eventually drown, but I didn't test it properly, it might've just been a bug?).
That being said, humans literally can't swim in the water due to how polluted it is, so you can pretty much forget you'll find any fish (live ones at least). Sharks being fish too, they most likely swum away, and those who didn't, they died.
This makes sense, but do remember that GTA 4 takes place in a completely separate universe than 3, SA, etc
@@PDFsArentPpl indeed but as I said, some things do appear in both universes but sometimes they might be a bit different.
It seems that generally speaking, places and events which exist or happened in 3D universe usually happened in HD universe too (Více City, Los Santos, Liberty City, but also things like Grove street, war between Grove Street and Ballas, the tanker polluting the waters, which is the reason why the water looks oily and such)
But on the other hand, characters which appeared in 3D universe usually don't appear in HD universe, and if they do, then they are only mentioned or they're Easter egg. Easter eggs technically don't have much to do with the lore but rather, they are simply a fun thing developers added that people who played older titles will appreciate.
There are exceptions to this however, take Lazlow for example, he appeared in both universes.
Anyways that's about it. I hope you understand it, and that it wasn't too long, I wish you a good day
@juno thank you for the info!
This and your other GTA videos have been great, I can’t wait for the next one!
My favorite game of all time, can’t wait to watch!!
I remember the first time I accidentally discovered that the statue of happiness had a real, beating heart... Creepy stuff
Cops reaction to hitting one of they’re buddies with a car in GTA IV: excuse me sir I’m gonna have to write you a ticket now for misconduct, come back!
Hitting cop with car in V: send the military, this fuckers going down!
I have tweeted rockstar, I believe the "Killer Bees" in liberty city are a Wu-Tang reference beens as they come from New York and refer to themselves serveral times as killer bees
I love this series! I hope you will cover gta vice city myths someday.
12:10 bro u jumpscared me
I have never heard anyone refer to the swing set glitch as the "devil's swing".
Just wanted to let you know that you used the text for "Invincible Criminals" when going over "Toxic Creatures". Great video btw
I like how this fella put Jack the ripper and Michael Myers in the same category lmfao what a guy
For some reason your videos make me feel a strange sense of nostalgia
17:13 This is not a myth. This is real. I noticed spying Mavericks on both Xbox 360 and PC.
Dude nice editing, I'll binge all your vids j find interesting
Jhat jounds jonderful.
EDIT: I'm kidding.
That Ratman subway video had us all fooled
Please continue the GTA myth series, it's so nostalgic
Where's the extremely rare mailman NPC which was thought to be cut for a very long time but was only proven to be real somewhat recently? It's only been spotted like 3 or 4 times legitimately.
The Killer Bees might be a reference to The Wu Tang Clan, one of the biggest rap groups to ever come out of New York. One of their many nicknames was The Killer Bs, a reference to the semi-obscure fact most if not all members of WuTang were affiliated with the NYC Bloods.
A lot of people (including myself) sometimes feel like the internet ruined 'gaming mysteries' but as we begin to look back on late 2000 gaming; I think it's safe to say, that was not the case at all. If anything forum and early CZcams culture fostered many myths such as the ones in this video.
I think what's killing Gaming Mysteries is actually streaming and constant video capture. I am going to say something possibly controversial but hear me out.
As much as you think you hate that kid who told you Mew was under a bus and all you had to do was beat the elite four a dozen times; you actually don't. Lies, low fidelity fabricated evidence and misinformation are necessary for a beautiful mystery. Because when you know that everything you are looking at is real, even if it's part of a 'mystery'. The magic is lost because it feels so intentional.
Plenty of games have Easter egg hunts etc but when the evidence for those things are so clearly real it feels just like another part of the game. If someone shows you a Twitch stream where someone finds the Loch Ness monster in a game you know the chances of that being fake are pretty low. That isn't exciting; that doesn't make you question the validity of anything.
Even though we now know Mew wasn't under that truck. The reason people still talk about it was because we loved the journey.
Old 480p youtube videos recorded on a FLIP camera, pointed directly at the screen still has magic to it. You know it's probably fake.
But... What if it isn't?
That's where the magic lies.
this, also datamining
not much mystery in games anymore when people just go through all the files and find everything as soon as the game comes out
@@letthebasscannon223 Very good point. Although it can have its uses to finds me never would have. There is a Twitter and CZcams account run by a data miner who finds old password and easter eggs in games that we literally would never have found. A lot of these were hidden by the developers beneath esoteric button combinations. Usually to hide offensive messages or debugging tools. There's quite a few brilliant rants hidden in games that really give you the impression of what game development was like in the late 80s and early 90s in Japan. Fascinating stuff.
But yeah, modern games get ripped open almost instantly. It's lucky if the games entire plot doesn't leak online nowadays.
12:45 I have never, ever seen this animation in the so many times I've played this game. Came for the myths, found something else entirely. WHAT
Nice. Something good to fall asleep to! 😴😴
Fun Fact: the toxic creature at 20:53 spend over $50.000 on mobile game WWE Champions
The spy helicopters exist in GTA 5 actually, I spotted one where the casino is at, it was a black buzzard without any guns on it. I followed it for a good while and I remember I got stars outta nowhere for it. Wish I had proof but it’s genuinely real.
I am so confused. I watched your gta sa video a few months back. A week ago I watched your BCS video. Not realizing you are the same person. Great content. You got a new sub
Eddie Low is referenced in rdr2 as Edmund Lowry Jr who is also a serial killer
jeff the killer jumpscared me so bad
cope lol
On which minute is that?
AWESOME. :D my favorite game of all time, alongside mafia 2. i have pretty much every edition of this game sealed... hahahah. i don't think i have ever looked for myths in this game tho, really spooky and chill stuff man. cheers ;)
This is my type of gaming vid for 2AM!
this is the most violent for no reason background gameplay i’ve ever seen
Make more of these please great commentary
Midnight and watching this video, can't get any better
multiplayer was really funny, I miss filling a lobby with indestructible rainbow cars to break up the airport wars lol.
It's been years since I had fears of playing GTA games, you got me back. I spent years not playing San Andreas simply out of fear, my night will be such terror again.
Fantastic Video Bro
Liberty city is so much more interesting than Vice city or Los Santos. I wish rockstar returned to LC For GTA6.
Same
No
Oh my god the car swing is so funny. I remember a friend from school telling me about it and showing the glitch lmao.
Man GTA IV is my fav gta game , if they remastered it i would play non stop
I loved gunning down Eddie from the one time I played at a friend's house (it was late 2011 I believe so not around its release but still) there's just something so cathartic about taking down evil or creepy characters
The instrumental throughout the video is mad nostalgic 😢
i love you for posting this
Good stuff my dude
There was this myth between a group of friends that there was mike myers in the game and he would take control of a player who was afk and kill other players in the lobby. The person would come back and he was gone. Nostalgia is so much fun =)
I want to see ratman make an appearance in GTA6. Make him a rare npc & start the rumors of ratman all over again.
Just bought GTA IV again today for the nostalgia and see this upload as soon as I get on CZcams what are the odds lol. Such a great game though it still has the best ragdoll in gaming history imo
Love the video and that random clip of darksydephil threw me off guard 😂 truly is toxic
you spelt DipShitPhil wrong.
ah yes the gta myth and legends
i was going crazy back in 2007-2009 looking for these myths
2:40 there’s a line from a npc on the subway where he says i saw a rat the size of pitbull
I want to see one of these videos on a game from the borderlands series like borderlands 2
Keep up the good work 👊
the Micheal Myers easter egg on the radio could also be a reference to the rob zombie version of Halloween released in 2007
in that one, he kills his father and sister with the mother committing suicide later on
it checks out since that movie came out a year before GTAiv released
I remember hearing about a lot of these and trying to find a bunch, loved not knowing if things were real or not
Gta 4 is still the best game I've ever played
Gta iv will always have a special place in my heart I still play multiplayer till this day also gta Iv has a eery vibe bc of how dark it is that’s what made this game fun about the myths especially as a kid been playing it since 2009 ):
12:45 I never knew you could buy aoda from those shacks and it even has a unique animation. This game is infinite.
2:59 if I remember correctly a train driver has dialouge referencing the ratman
I'm ashamed to say that the jeff the killer image jumpscared me lmao
You missed a lot on Eddie low. There’s so much more to his character explained on the websites and boards he’s on in the game. Should’ve showed more about what happens like how he’s dumping a body into the ocean?
Will you make this video about Vice City? Since that game has a lot of myths and legends
i finally beat GTA IV the other night, and part of the fun of that has been finally being able to watch breakdowns and reviews. this game has so much more than you’ll probably find on one playthrough! just like any great rockstar game
Probably won't see this, considering it's a year and a half old video, but I'm surprised you didn't mention the sprunk factory ghost myth, I remember that one particularly, especially with how run down the building is.
Had to edit for time frame, did not realize it's been a year and a half.
I have reason to believe RatMan is Real to some Degree. As one of the Cut NPCs more specifically a Railway Worker. Mentions in his audio files about seeing a Kind of Rat Person In the Subway.
17:59 Nice back driving!
My favorite is the haunted abandoned buildings in Alderney it’s probably not true but I remember back when I was a kid I would go there and get all freaked out lmao
They need to add Ghost like NPC with 0.001% to spawn in the next GTA to mess around with the community. And also when this certain NPC will be spotted by the player, at the same time the game will spawn some interesting things related to this NPC all around the world. Would be sick
You know there one in 5 story mode? There's a ghost car in online to
The alien stuff was the one that had me exploring the game as a kid
How did you get your game footage so stable? I'm running the game on higher end hardware and I still dip a lot :/
