GTA Online: All New Ghost Locations (2025 Halloween Update)

From Pacific Bluffs to the Vinewood Bowl, here are all 10 ghost locations for 2025's Halloween ghost hunt event, as well as spawn times, and alternate spots you need to claim your $250K and exclusive collectible.

As part of the 2025 Halloween Update for GTA Online, Rockstar has once again added 10 ghosts that appear across Blaine County and Los Santos at specific times during the night. Players can use their in-game phone camera to photograph each spirit and earn cash and RP for every successful capture.

Just like last year’s event, the tenth and final ghost only appears once you have photographed all nine previous ghosts. Capturing all ten rewards you with the new Ghost Exposed Cap as a special collectible item:

All ghosts appear between 7 PM and 6 AM, with each one visible for exactly one hour. For example, the first ghost spawns from 7 PM to 8 PM. Each ghost also has two different spawn points that are close to one another within the same area, so make sure to check both spots if you don’t see it right away.

Each captured ghost rewards players with $20,000 and 500 RP, and collecting all ten provides an extra $50,000, totaling $250,000 and 5,000 RP overall.

You can start hunting as soon as you receive this message from Ghosts Exposed:
