Tumbleweed

Tumbleweed is a location in New Austin. It is a ghost town and outlaw hideout.There is a newspaper article about a rumor that Tumbleweed is haunted. The third treasure in the Treasure Hunter Challenges is located in the mansion in Tumbleweed. It can be found in the basement, in a pile of rocks beneath a cow skull hanging on the wall. It is also where the mission Hanging of Bonnie MacFarlane takes place.

In a few forums across the web, it has been said that people hear things there at night. The lights in the church flicker on and off, foot steps in the mansion can be heard, sightings of shadows in the buildings and very quiet mumbling too. Whether this is true or mere "flavor rumors" is yet to be determined.

In singleplayer, when you complete the outlaw hideout you will recieve a Winchester Repeater if you have yet to obtain one.

Multiplayer

 * In multiplayer free roam, the Bolt Action Rifle is located here.

Achievement
Completing the Tumbleweed hideout is associated with a gameplay achievement:
 * Evil Spirits: Complete Tumbleweed and Tesoro Azul Hideouts in Single Player.

Trivia

 * In the church the words; "the devil has got into that beast" are scrawled on the top of the altar. Rumors have it that is an easter egg, about the scrawny black horse that sometimes can be seen hitched in town when there is no one around.
 * The reports of strange noises being heard in Tumbleweed by players as well as the reception the claim has recieved is reminiscent to the 'Sprunk Factory' in Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: IV aswell as the many urban legends surrounding the countryside in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
 * Several newspaper articles make reference to the town being haunted.
 * A flock of bats can be seen flying from the back of the manor house at roughtly 6 PM game time. The bats are not like birds or other animals as you cannot shoot them or kill them. This might explain the noises which some players have claimed to have heard, mistaking the bats for supernatural happenings. Although this is highly unlikely due to the nature of the sounds being reported and that which the bats make. [| See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-JGsECLvGA]
 * The Drifters gang use Tumbleweed as their hideout.
 * When John Marston asks Marshal where they are headed during the mission Hanging of Bonnie Macfarlane, Marshal says it was a big town but it started to fall apart after the railroad to Armadillo came.
 * A glitch can occur when attempting to complete the Tumbleweed gang hideout during Multiplayer. When killing the outlaws near the church, a criminal can spawn inside of a large rock. He retains the ability to shoot out of the rock, but the player cannot kill him, preventing the player from completing the hideout.
