rp_downtown_v2 is a map intended for roleplay and commonly used by DarkRP servers. It should be noted that rp_downtown_v2 is the reupload of the original map, rp_downtown.
Further Details[]
There are rumors that the map's original creator committed suicide about 11 years ago and his ghost haunts rp_downtown_v2 now. Some players report hearing creepy sounds such as echoing in the railyard, creepy ambience, screaming in the hotel area or footsteps of someone else present on the map, however all of them are most likely soundscapes which are intentionally put into the map for roleplay purposes. Other players have reported sightings of the ghost, although there is no confiding footage or actual proof of it.
A youtuber called SHλDOWDλNTE made a video about finding a shadow figure in rp_downtown_v2 in multiple spots. Even though those events may not seem to be fake, the video is not real. Another youtuber called KidDizzie Productions attempted to partially recreate this in his investigational video about haunted maps. He hasn't spotted any ghost or a similar entity like SHλDOWDλNTE, however he reported hearing a strange sound in the hotel sounding like a woman gasping or breathing heavily, which turned out to be a soundscape.
Disclaimer[]
There is still no actual evidence that The Pro (rp_downtown's creator) actually commited suicide. Despite this being unlikely, he may have enabled invisible mode and quit Steam for unknown reasons.
Trivia[]
- Back in 2005, The Pro's friend made a post on 4chan about The Pro not speaking him to over 3 years. He claims that the last time they spoke with each other, The Pro sounded depressed and deluded.[citation needed]
- The Pro requested to not make different versions or copies of rp_downtown_v2. This has been mentioned in The Pro's friend's post and him himself inside of the map.
