The best creepy secrets in GTA 5 story mode
1) Cement-shoes woman
Corpses with cement shoes sunk at the bottom of the ocean aren't anything new in the Grand Theft Auto series. Among other unforgettable Easter eggs in the GTA games, they were in Vice City as a possible reference to the Mafia. For the uninitiated, this is a form of execution attributed to it.
One of the creepy secrets in GTA 5 involves a woman who has her feet cemented together. She is related to the Murder Mystery side mission that Michael can uncover. Even more unsettling is the fact that Rockstar uses a living NPC model for this woman, which can only be revealed by using a trainer.
2) Cemetery dog
At the Hill Valley Church cemetery, there's a dog that can be seen heading over to a particular tombstone, as if to pay its respects. Although this isn't one of the creepiest secrets in GTA 5, it's definitely quite heartbreaking if you consider that the dog might be based on Greyfriars Bobby. He was a Skye Terrier from Edinburgh that stayed owner's grave for fourteen years until his death.
3) Ghost dog
One of the other creepy secrets in GTA 5 associated with canines is the ghost dog. This is a Labrador Retriever that only Franklin sees. It appears to guide him to Dom Beasley, the reckless stuntman, whenever he is in trouble. The other GTA 5 protagonists can't meet this dog.
4) Accept the chaos
Grand Theft Auto 5 has many weird websites, but what makes accept-the-chaos.com one of the creepy secrets in GTA 5 is that it might be related to the ghost dog mentioned in the previous entry.
If you visit this in-game website and press the "Click to play God" option, the family photo you see on the landing page turns into an image of a grisly crash site.
One of the casualties is the family dog, which might be the ghost dog that Franklin sees. Another disturbing fact is that this is the only depiction of child harm in a Grand Theft Auto title.
5) Whale skeletons
If a Grand Theft Auto game has never given you thalassophobia (fear of large or deep bodies of water) before, try diving into the waters of GTA 5. The title features massive skeletons off the shores of Banham Canyon and Fort Zancudo that look like they belong to giant sea monsters. However, these are most likely just whale bones.
6) Underwater hatch
In the Easter Pacific Ocean, off the coast of San Andreas, there's an underwater hatch with a window that lights up when you get near it. You can even hear some knocking sounds coming from it. Despite being creepy, this is actually a hidden message in Tap code that says:
"Hey, you never call, how'd you fancy going bowling?"
This seems to be a clear reference to Roman Bellic, who can end up getting a rather undeserving death in GTA 4.
7) Bleeding windows
Most players are aware of the house with the windows that bleed, GTA 5 also has a home with bloody windows. This dwelling place is in Del Perro, right next to the highway, where you can see blood splattered all over its windows.
8) Abandoned mineshaft
The abandoned mineshaft is somewhat well-known, as it's tied to the previously mentioned Murder Mystery side mission. However, it's definitely among the creepy secrets in GTA 5. You can even find this secret location in GTA Online, the multiplayer game mode.
9) Los Santos tunnels
One of the many creepy secrets in GTA 5 is found in the Los Santos tunnels, a place connected with several creepy myths. You can listen to a strange heartbeat-like sound if you go down to a particular position in this massive underground area. The sound is similar to the one heard from the beating heart inside the Statue of Happiness, one of the creepiest locations in the GTA series.
10) Underwater UFO
The Grand Theft Auto series is rife with UFO myths, and Rockstar helped bolster this conspiracy in Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2, where you can finally spot UFOs. There's even a crashed underwater UFO in GTA 5 that you can visit in its story mode.
