This cursed lake in GTA San Andreas makes your car literally vanish underwater — and it started 7 monster myths at once.

Ghost Lake in Back O' Beyond has a bizarre visual glitch where any vehicle driven into it becomes invisible below the waterline, and vice versa from underneath — yet CJ and rocks remain visible normally. This single rendering bug spawned a wave of fan rumors claiming sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, Piggsy, Slenderman, Chupacabra, Killer Cowboy, and Yeti around the lake.
