Grand Theft Auto 5's Mount Chiliad has been a mysterious location since the game's launch in 2013. However, over the years the mystery of Mount Chiliad has only expanded and gotten bigger with new…
or CJ.
This time around though, we would be taking up the roles of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor, three very different criminal outcasts who became unlikely allies.
As the teasers kept coming, people noticed something in the background of certain scenes.
There was this mountain with a weird box on top of it that couldn't easily be made out.
The internet erupted in a search to figure out what was up and Reddit was flooded with what's in the shed posts that quickly became a meme.
Months before the game was even out, dedicated fans were able to identify the mountain in question as Mount Chiliad, the tallest mountain in the state which was also featured in GTA San Andreas.
This was especially important, because back in the mid-2000s, there was a popular myth among San Andreas players that Bigfoot can be found on Mount Chiliad, and that gained a lot of steam in early forms.
Even more startling was that many Bigfoot sightings were reported at an abandoned shed on the mountain.
Rockstar's Vice President Dan Houser ended up confirming in 2010 that the studio originally did plan to make Sasquatch a real character in San Andreas, but decided to cut the creature from the title, and any alleged sightings were mere hoaxes.
Nonetheless, with Chiliad returning for the franchise's fifth installment, the community wondered if it would contain something supernatural for reels this time around.
Thus, on September 13th, 2013, the day Grand Theft Auto V officially launched, you better believe folks immediately flocked to the location.
Turns out the big mysterious shed was actually just a lift station for a cable car that could transport people between the summit of Mount Chiliad and the ground.
Although, something was still fishy.
You see, on one of the walls of this station, is slash was a very odd mural of sorts.
This painting depicted what seemed to be Mount Chiliad with eight boxes inside of it and an eye or maybe UFO on top of it.
Oh yeah, and there are some lightning bolts coming from the hill as well.
What could all this mean? Well, the community raced to find out.
Five paintings were soon discovered around the mountain, each featuring the eye symbol that we saw on the mural.
In three of these paintings, the eye was clearly above a different symbol.
One had it atop of a crescent moon, another had it atop of a mountain, and another had the eye on top of some storm clouds.
Sadly, the other two glyphs were too eroded to make out anything other than just the eye.
The consensus among the community was that these five paintings likely represented the five boxes on the mural with the slashes in them.
What exactly they meant was unclear, but at least connections were being made.
