Red Dead Redemption 2’s Spookiest Glitches

Rockstar Games’ open-world western Red Dead Redemption 2 has more than its fair share of technical glitches, many of which are downright spooky.

A Reddit user by the name of fbi-please-open-door posted a video in which they trigger an unexpected glitch that causes one of Red Dead Redemption 2‘s corpses from the pair of frozen settlers to show signs of life. At the start of the video, everything seems normal. It’s not until the player shoots and stabs the corpses that things get weird, as, for some reason, it causes the woman to blink multiple times.

Even though this occurrence is certainly a glitch, seeing the woman’s eyelids in motion looks weirdly natural. This visual only adds to the undeniable dread of an already terrifying encounter in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2. Not long after its initial release back in 2018, a lot of the game’s scarier Easter eggs were making the rounds online. Most notably, Red Dead 2‘s serial killer mystery as part of the “American Dreams” Stranger Mission, as well as the vampire in Saint Denis, though none of this came as a surprise considering the series’ history with creepy mysteries.

The first Red Dead Redemption has a naturally creepy western atmosphere, which really lends itself to the popular Undead Nightmare DLC. Most of the world is barren, but the seemingly haunted ghost town of Tumbleweed is one of the most eerie locations on the game’s map. There are also the famous “I Know You” stranger missions, in which John Marston will continually come across a mysterious man who knows an awful lot about him and his past. During their final encounter, John shoots at the man directly as he walks away, but none of the shots land, leading many to believe that the man is a spirit of some kind. The frozen couple glitch is now one of the many things from Red Dead Redemption that just can’t be explained.
