Ghost Cars

Myth

The Ghost Cars are derelict, animated cars that move by themselves without a driver being present. They are most commonly found around the Whetstone region, particularly in Back o' Beyond, though they can be found in select other locations such as Rymond Place too.

Storymode

In Storymode, the Ghost Cars are encountered during the mission Heart of the Woods. Carl Johnson and Eve Matthews search Back o' Beyond for any signs of the latter's parents, at which point they are interrupted by the activation of Eve's parent's car turns into a ghost car and tries to kill them. After a tense fight, they destroy the car, and leave Back o' Beyond. It is unknown if any other Ghost Cars activated during the Advent of the Myths.

Freemode

In Freemode, the Ghost Cars can be found at a variety of locations within the Flint County and Whetstone regions, notably Back o' Beyond and Shady Creeks. The cars are natural spawns that are inactive at first, but will soon activate when the player comes within range. This occurs only between the hours of 00:00 - 05:00.

Rymond Place

Main article: Rymond Place Ghost Cars can also be encountered at an unmarked location in Bone County, known as Rymond Place. The building seems derelict at first, however between the hours of 00:00 - 04:00 the parking lot will fill with Ghost Cars, all activating simultaneously when the player comes within range.

Trivia

The Ghost Cars are one of the few "confirmed" myths in the base game without any modifications. In Back o' Beyond, one spawn point has a car spawn and then roll down a hill without any intervention from the player, which gave rise to the entire ghost car myth. However, these cars are inert without mods.
