GTA San Andreas: Have you seen Bigfoot?

Maybe it's madness. Maybe they know that their ?50 is safe in their wallets. But PSM2 magazine are offering a ?50 bounty for the first confirmed sighting (and slaying?) of 'Bigfoot' in GTA San Andreas.

Speculation has been rife since the game's release that somewhere in the woodlands of the million-seller lurks Bigfoot. Other rumours suggest that a leatherfaced crazy-man (known as - hey! - Leatherface) lives in a shack in the woods. Still more believe that Piggsy, the mind-scarring 'star' from Rockstar's infamous Manhunt, lives somewhere in the game. Well PSM2 want to settle the score once and for all - and are prepared to pay for evidence.

They want your proof. Capture the mysterious woodland fiend (be it man or beast) on VHS tape (plug your PS2 into your video's SCART socket and hit record) and, if you deliver the first confirmed evidence of the Beast of The Panopticon, they'll send you fifty of the queen's.

But that's not all. Witnessed the lights in the sky? Seen a random plane crash? Or have you been chased by the haunted, driverless car? Whatever you have witnessed, PSM2 want to know about it. They want your digipics, videos and written accounts and will make you famous in the process. Describe your discovery (and include pics if you have them) and send it to [email protected]

Got a VHS tape of San Andreas weirdness (be it deliberate or a glitch)? Or do you want to make history and claim that Bigfoot Bounty? Send your VHS tapes to San Andreas Weirdness Watch, PSM2 Magazine, Future Publishing, 30 Monmouth Street, Bath, BA1 2BW.

PSM2 will feature full reports in an issue coming soon and we'll keep you updated too on gamesradar.com.

A mate and I played it one night and whilst flying one of the Private Jets we saw a white light in the sky in front of us. It was moving fast and left a trail behind it, we followed the trail but it was moving so fast we couldnt keep up, is that by chance one of the UFO`s?

The Area 69 as they call it in the game is just a military base, you get to break in their in one of the missions, and even in non missions its not avertly difficult to get into, hell you can climb the fence, but youll get 5 stars for doing it...

all thats in there is some chopers, tanks and jeeps.

i was driving a bike real fast across the woods when suddenly i thought i saw bigfoot. when i turn and went back. nothing was tehre. i could have swore i saw something. i have picture a ufo. just there. floating. a plane crash just about 5 steps from where i was standing taking my last photo op. that was weird.

Sorry to dissapoint you all, but Bigfoot was just a rumor started at GTAForums.com  :)

I was just talking on mIRC to the rumor creator..  :D

I hope to god you're right about that. But it still doesn't explain what that thing behind the tree is :unsure:

We took the photo a few days ago and we've been trying to get it to happen again on a bigger TV and with one of us in the photo because I'm sick of little hoaxsters. No luck as of yet but fingers crossed :happy:

Feel free to e-mail me about any questions, we'll try and post an FAQ as soon as we can get some harder evidence. Could be the hardest ?50 we ever earned.

  • 4 weeks later...

I have only encountered two random plane crashes and they both occured by the docks near the airport by San Fierro. The only other weird thing I have seen is an abandoned hotdog truck in the middle of the woods hidden by some bushes. I seriously would not be suprised if there is a ton of stuff hidden in the game like bigfoot, pigsey, etc. Also there could be stuff hidden under the water and I am sure no one has really looked there.

****SPOILER****

Area 69 is also the place where you get the jetpack for the Truth. Then it spawns at your airfield if you bought it.

Ok, there heaps of talk bout bigfoot. This guy even made a Bigfoot hunting diary... Guess he has to much time on his hands,

Theres tonnes of stuff in the game

as email says below.

Dear Consumer,

Thank you for your interest in our technical support, Unfortunately at this time we are unable to release full details about all the hidden surprises Grand Theft Auto San Andreas has to offer, however i can promise you we have hidden a bunch of easter eggs. Be on the lookout, because you are bound to find something lurking on the mountain tops, or swimming on the ocean floor. You might even see some unwelcome bodies hidden in the wheat fields. There are over 30 Easter eggs that are not discussed in the Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Official Strategy guide, however we will most likely post them at a later date. Thank you for your E-mail and i hope this helped solve some of your problems

Thank you,

Rob Newkirk

CJ moms ghost - FALSE! Her picture is in the Johnson home. That is all.

Ghost Cars - Exists. Go in Back o Beyond and go to where the two horseshoe looking things on the map, go on the left one to see a battered up glendale(car) drive down the hill.

Another, a ghost in a battered up Clover(car) or a Sadler(Truck) will follow you on the interstate right near back o beyond and pull over and get out and punch Carl a few times then drive off. (Only on Foggy nights)

Look for Opius's post.

I found something weird yesterday. There is a place in the boonies called "Shady Lake" or "Shady River", something like that. Well anyway if you go aound the lake/river edge in the forest there is sort of a cabin surrounded by trees covering it up. You can go inside of it, but it is completely empty. The weird thing is, when you step inside the cabin it says "Shady Cabin" like you are entering a new area. I stayed in the area for a complete 24 hours, but nothing. It is just a little strange there is an empty cabin in the middle of the woods called "Shady Cabin". :shifty:

Indeed sir.. Apparently the sasquach theory thing is supposed to live there or when its foggy bigfoot comes out... Hard chance of seeing all these things but cool to have em..

As for getting pictures.. People talk but no pictures.. I guess if you have PC its easier but i dont know where to pictures of all of these.. best try google search.

Thats the place to be.

Is michael jackson in the game ?

I read this reader kidnapped a kid from town and tied him up in the forest and car filled with explosives.. then after 24 hours MJ came and was blown up.

No offense to MJ. I haven't played the game too much... so excuse me for anything stupid i say...

Can you kidnap people in SA?

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
