Bigfoot didn't just haunt San Andreas — it basically invented GTA myth hunting.

Before the 2004 Bigfoot craze, GTA fans only talked about Easter eggs and cut content. The San Andreas Bigfoot rumor was so massive that it overshadowed the actual game, spawned a hoax-mod industry, and created the entire culture of GTA myth hunting that still exists today. Despite years of searching, no real Bigfoot was ever found in the game files.
