What happened
Climb Mount Gordo between 23:00 and 0:00 in-game and a ghostly woman hovers over the rocks, vanishing if you get close; through a sniper scope you can see her clearly, and the word JOCK is written on the rock beneath her. In-game lore ties the apparition to Jolene Cranley-Evans, whose husband Jock Cranley left for Vinewood and later runs for state office. The game never rules on whether he pushed her.
Why it matters
It is the game's most visitable piece of ambient storytelling: a repeatable, scheduled haunting that turned every player into a witness.
How we know
Game Informer documented the ghost, its time window, and the in-game newspaper trail within two weeks of the game's 2013 release; GamesRadar's easter egg guide confirms the sighting window on the summit.
