The ghost of CJ's mom that terrified San Andreas players for years? Rockstar officially killed this rumor.

Despite widespread player reports of Beverly Johnson's ghost appearing in the Johnson House on Friday nights or Halloween, a Rockstar employee confirmed in an Electronic Gaming Monthly interview that the ghost was never programmed into the game. Most 'evidence' circulating online was created using mods. The transparent squares some players mistook for a supernatural presence are actually just a visual glitch caused by throwing grenades indoors.
