Ghosts and other haunts

In the returning Ghosts Exposed, photographing all 10 spirits unlocks the Ghosts Exposed Jacket. Rockstar says one of them is a late billionaire investor whose body was never found.

The Clone Slasher is back, along with a driverless Declasse Tornado Custom that Rockstar calls bloodthirsty, which is one approach to autonomous driving. Peyote Plants are again scattered across Southern San Andreas.

GTABase also lists the returning Phantom Car, Cerberus Surprise and Possessed Animals, plus seasonal masks, face paints, horns, bobbleheads and Casino decorations.
