Introduction

Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V) isn’t just about missions, cars, and chaos. Rockstar Games filled Los Santos with hidden secrets and Easter eggs that reward curious players who explore every corner. From UFOs to mysterious murders, GTA V has become one of the most Easter egg–packed games ever.

Here are the Top 10 hidden secrets in GTA V that every fan should know.

1. The Chiliad UFO

At the top of Mount Chiliad, players can discover a strange UFO after completing the game 100%.

  • Go to the summit at 3:00 AM during rainy weather.
  • A glowing spaceship appears, hovering in silence.
  • This Easter egg fueled countless alien conspiracy theories in the GTA community.

2. The Ghost of Mount Gordo

On the cliffs of Mount Gordo, you can spot the ghost of a woman at night (between 11 PM and midnight).

  • The ghost disappears if you get too close.
  • The word “JOCK” is written in blood nearby.
  • This connects to a hidden murder mystery involving a character named Jock Cranley.

3. The Infinity Killer

Scattered around the map are cryptic writings and clues left by Merle Abrahams, known as the Infinity Killer.

  • He claims to have killed eight people.
  • If you investigate carefully, you’ll find eight corpses underwater near the coast.
  • It’s one of the creepiest hidden stories in the game.

4. The Frozen Alien in Prologue

During the very first mission, if you drive off-road near the bridge, you can see a frozen alien trapped in ice.

This quick glimpse sets the stage for GTA V’s ongoing alien mysteries.

5. The Sunken UFO

Deep underwater off the coast of San Andreas lies a crashed flying saucer.

  • Unlike the Chiliad UFO, this one looks destroyed.
  • The location can only be reached with a submarine.
  • It proves Rockstar wanted players to explore the depths, not just the skies.

6. Bigfoot in the Woods

Fans of GTA: San Andreas will love this one—Bigfoot makes a return.

  • During the mission “Predator,” you can see a heat signature resembling Bigfoot.
  • Later, a side quest called “The Last One” lets Franklin actually hunt down a man dressed as Bigfoot.

7. The Hatch in the Ocean

Far out in the sea, divers can find a mysterious hatch with a glowing light.

  • It resembles the hatch from the TV series Lost.
  • Knocking on it makes strange noises but never opens.
  • This remains one of GTA V’s biggest unanswered mysteries.

8. The Killer Clown Hallucination

If Trevor uses certain peyote plants, he hallucinates strange things.

One of the funniest and creepiest is a hallucination of killer clowns attacking him in waves.

9. The Altruist Cult

On the side of Mount Chiliad lives the Altruist Cult, a group of cannibals.

  • If Trevor delivers hitchhikers to them, he gets rewarded with money.
  • Eventually, Trevor can raid their camp, uncovering their disturbing practices.

10. The Epsilon Program

The Epsilon Program is a cult that reappears from previous GTA games.

  • By following hidden websites and clues, Michael can join their quests.
  • This leads to bizarre missions, strange outfits, and big money rewards.

GTA V isn’t just about completing missions—it’s a treasure chest of mysteries waiting to be uncovered. From UFOs and ghosts to secret cults and serial killers, Rockstar packed Los Santos with details that keep fans searching for years.
