A majority of the reports are of ghosts or strange black figures in the corner of one's eye - normally encountered within the map's interiors or underground areas.

Introduction
RP Downtown v2 is a map that was commonly used for DarkRP, Misc RP and other sandbox elements in the late 2000s and early 2010s. It was created by ThePro and is the backbone of the various downtown maps we see in modern day. It is known as one of the oldest and most nostalgic maps to have been made.
The map includes numerous hotel areas, a town square, warehouses, railroads, a sewer system, houses and storefronts.
At one point, RP Downtown v2 was known as the most renowned version of the Downtown map, once frequently used by many popular RP servers. Since, they have switched to more modern versions, leaving this map relatively unused and abandoned, though portions of this map have been reused in later iterations - most notably, the town square and main street.
The Haunting Controversy
Unfortunately, ThePro, RP Downtown v2's creator, passed away in 2011 after an alleged suicide attempt. Ever since his death, several players have reported strange happenings whilst playing on the map - most notably when they were alone.
A majority of the reports are of ghosts or strange black figures in the corner of one's eye - normally encountered within the map's interiors or underground areas. Not only this, but others have reported sounds of people in distress around the map's hotels, doors opening and closing at random, footsteps, echoes in the railyard, and silhouetted people staring through windows or on rooftops.
This rumour has most likely stemmed from the source engine's natural eerie and lonely atmosphere. When playing the map alone, many players tend to feel horribly isolated, especially coupled with the nostalgia and memories of a once thriving server - this effect is named kenopsia and is commonplace with many other source maps. Others may begin to feel watched through the map's many windows and doorways - the creator's unfortunate death has most likely led many to believe it is them occupying the server, however, this is little more than a myth.
Note: Stop thinking there are Ghosts thats just Disrespectful.
Map Disclaimer
The map creator did previously state that they don't want anybody tampering with the map and there will never be any "officially" sanctioned edits of it. In respect of their wishes, it is asked you do not edit or alter the map.
