'''Bigfoot of San Andreas''' is a [[screamer]] video uploaded to [[YouTube]] by user Hey There (formerly TomAss1212) on August 14, 2006. It centers around a popular gaming myth concerning a secret Bigfoot that can be found in [[wikipedia: Rockstar Games|Rockstar Games]]' ''[[wikipedia: GTA San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]]''. However, it is not an ordinary GTA Let's Play video as it ends with an [[K-fee commercials|iconic screamer]].

The video would eventually inspire another [[screamer]] titled [[Mysteries, GTA San Andreas: Bigfoot PS2]], which is similar to the former.

As the game was quickly rising in popularity, many myths started to pop up here and there that are usually related to secret entities supposedly hidden throughout the game. Of these entities, the most popular myth is simply referred to by many players as the "[https://gta-myths.fandom.com/wiki/Bigfoot_(GTA_San_Andreas) Bigfoot Myth]." According to the myth, the well-known cryptid, Bigfoot, supposedly lurks within the countryside of San Andreas (which includes Back O' Beyond, [https://gta-myths.fandom.com/wiki/Shady_Cabin Shady Cabin], and [https://gta-myths.fandom.com/wiki/Mount_Chiliad_(GTA_San_Andreas) Mount Chiliad]) where it will be hostile towards CJ should the player ever encounter it.

Due to the success of the myth within the GTA community, many videos were made in which people claimed that they caught and killed the elusive creature. Though, this is untrue as there is no Bigfoot in the game files (though people have created mods to convince gullible players into believing its existence). As such, this video was made to exploit the myth in a way that would scare any unsuspecting viewer who stumbles upon the video.

The myth came true in Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online, where [https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Sasquatch players can actually encounter the Sasquatch.]
