This GTA V ghost is secretly a 2D cardboard cutout — and Rockstar hid a brutal trick to let you walk right up to her face.

Jolene Cranley-Evans' ghost on Mount Gordo has no actual 3D model; she's just a flat texture that vanishes when you approach. But in the enhanced version, players discovered a loophole: switch to first-person and aim down weapon sights, and you can walk extremely close without her disappearing — she instantly pops back if you keep aiming.
