In bothRed Dead Redemptiongames, players can encounter a wide variety of interesting events, even those not originally planned out by Rockstar.

Reddit user Bogyman3 recently reported another strange glitch fromthe firstRed Dead Redemption, which caused an unidentifiable NPC to float in the air high above the player.
