6 intriguing myths from Rockstar Games’ GTA Vice City

1) UFOs

Sighting of UFOs is one of the most popular myths in GTA Vice City. Many players have claimed that they spotted UFOs around the map. The two most popular sightings are inside the InterGlobal Studios and Lunar UFOs in Prawn Island.

While none of the missions in the title require you to deal with them, you might sometimes spot them in the open world.

2) Apartment 3C massacre

The Apartment 3C in Ocean Beach is believed to be the residence of the Chainsaw Killer in GTA Vice City. Even though it is not part of any missions, you can enter and explore it. Inside, you’ll find a chainsaw and a bathroom wall covered with blood stains.

While these could be references to the Scarface movie, the urban legend says that the Chainsaw Killer murdered someone inside the bathroom and left the weapon there.

3) Haunted lighthouse

The lighthouse towards the south of Ocean Beach is believed to be haunted by a witch. While Rockstar Games allows you to climb it, the door has an ‘Out of Order’ sign. Moreover, there is a small ladder on top of the lighthouse that Tommy cannot climb. According to the myth, the witch resides near the ladder.

You can also find a Tiki status and a hidden Caddy nearby. While the former is a collectible in GTA Vice City, the latter’s purpose is still unknown.

A popular urban legend states that a Sea Monster can be seen around the various waterbodies in GTA Vice City. The creature looks very similar to the Loch Ness Monster with dark skin and a long neck. Many have reported its sighting near the haunted lighthouse.

Interestingly, Rockstar Games bars players from going to the waters, citing severe storms and deadly sea creatures as the reason. While you can drive a boat, according to the myth, the Sea Monster might attack you.

Sometimes, you might spot ghost ships around the map of GTA Vice City. These are shadow-like ships that sail the far-distant water bodies. If you are lucky, you can look at them with a sniper rifle scope.

The interesting thing about the ghost ships is that they only appear for around 10 seconds and then disappear. Moreover, their model is not similar to any other boats in the 2002 title.

Some of the pedestrians in GTA Vice City have a weird tendency to kill themselves without any explanation. You can spot some of them jumping off from bridges, buildings, and into water bodies. There are also a type of pedestrians who jump in front of your vehicle when you drive relatively close to them.

The reasons for these acts are unknown, but they are very prominent in the game.
