Jolene Cranley-Evans' Ghost, also known as the Ghost of Mount Gordo, is a proven myth in Grand Theft Auto V.
Description[]
A close-up of the spirit's face.
Using the aim down sights glitch to get a closer look at the ghost.
Near the peak of Mount Gordo, there is a large, flat rock on the ground which bears the word "JOCK", written in blood. Between 23:00 and 0:00, the player will be able to witness a ghost manifest itself near the rock. The ghost appears to be a female, with long black hair and a white dress or robe. The ghost itself appears to be slightly translucent. It will fade away from view if the player tries to get close to it, but it can still be seen through a sniper sight or the Phone's camera. Aiming down the sights on certain weapons also allows the player to approach the ghost without it disappearing. Jolene's spirit does not interact with the player in any form. She has a permanent petrified open-mouthed look on her face with empty white eyes staring directly in front of her, with tears of blood running down at her mouth and cheeks. The only movement the spirit makes is a very slight bobbing in a circular motion and a cyclone of wind at the level of her waist.
This can be seen at any point in the game, including in GTA Online, and not only at 100% completion unlike the UFOs.
The ghost can also be witnessed from a campsite located on the eastern side of the mountain, near Ursula's house. The game will indicate the spawning of the ghost by playing a scream coming from the mountain while the player is in the area, but this does not always trigger. Other whispering noises can be heard if the player continues to linger around the campsite while the ghost is active.
Background[]
The ghost has been proven (through the Senora Beacon newspaper) to be the ghost of Jolene Cranley-Evans, the deceased wife of Jock Cranley. Jock Cranley was a famous stunt double, appearing in a variety of popular TV shows in the 1980's.
Before becoming famous, Cranley used to live in Blaine County. During the 1970's, he got aspirations to become a stuntman in Los Santos, but his wife Jolene Cranley-Evans objected to them moving out to Los Santos. So, while on a hike on Mount Gordo, Jock Cranley pushed her off the side of a cliff, and she died from severe internal injuries as the result of her fall. Jock was taken into custody, but was immediately released without charge, because there was not enough evidence to prove that he committed murder. The full article about the murder of Jolene Cranley-Evans, can be found on an in-game newspaper article from the Senora Beach newspaper.

Trivia[]
- The ghost doesn't have an actual in-game model, it is just a 2D texture, coded to appear on the mountain at a certain hour.
- The blood under the ghost will also disappear after midnight.
- The ghost has 2 textures. The original one which can be seen from up close and an LOD one that can be seen from the campsite, The second being bigger and very bright. It can be observed using a sniper rifle but the texture seems to break if the player zooms in too much.
