Two wrecked Glendale cars spawn on a steep hill in Back O' Beyond and roll downhill on their own, creating the illusion of driverless ghost cars. The 'haunting' is actually just gravity acting on a poorly placed spawn point. The cars are internally named 'glenshit' in the game files, with permanent body damage that cannot be repaired.

The legendary shot that spawned a thousand myths — a wrecked Glendale rolling downhill in the dead of night.
Close-up on the 'glenshit' — this permanent body damage is baked into the spawn, no spray shop can fix this junk.
Another wrecked Sadler doing the same gravity trick, but everyone's too busy freaking out about the Glendales.
Truth's red truck, unrelated but found in the same creepy woods — maybe Truth was the real ghost all along.
A Bobcat spawning nearby — not a ghost car, just reminding you Back O' Beyond is weird territory overall.
The Horseshoe pickup out in the boonies — ghost cars are just one piece of Back O' Beyond's creepy puzzle.
You can mug this photographer at gunpoint — they'll surrender, then STILL walk into the ocean
