THE RAKE

The Rake

Seen: 1691 - Still seen today

Personal Experience

When Mike Lamb's group was still called The Darkside, him and his friend Shawn were ghost hunting in the woods of Hubbard Park. Mike was looking into the LCD screen of his night vision camera and saw something peaking out of the tree line of the trail. He called Shawn over to look at it and he saw it too. When they started to walk towards it the "Rake" ran away quickly.

About

The Rake is a creature, believed to be an alien, who little is known of. It attacks humans, and often causes them to commit suicide. The Rake usually makes his appearances during night time, as to whether it is a nocturnal hunter or it uses the darkness for cover is unknown. The first account of the Rake's existence was a mariner's log written in 1691, shown below:

"He came to me in my sleep. From the foot of my bed I felt a sensation. He took everything. We must return to England. We shall not return here again at the request of the Rake."

Eyewitness Accounts

The next account, written in the 1800s, described the Rake as having hollow eyes. Next, was a suicide note written in 1964, where the author claims to have commited suicide due to repeated encounters with the Rake. Currently, the most complete tale of the Rake was written in 2006. The tale the writer told, begins with her waking her husband up, believing him to be in the toilet and so attempted to take the sheets back. As he turned to look to her, he saw the Rake at the foot of the bed and, in his fear, the husband curled up in the fetal position. After a few moments of this, in one fast motion the Rake scurried to the husband's side of the bed, and stared at the woman's husband, then ran into the children's room. It fled when the couple approached shortly after it entered the room, leaving the mangled body of their daughter, who's last words were "He is the Rake". While rushing his daughter to hospital, the husband drove into a lake, drowning the two of them.

Appearance

The Rake is commonly described as looking like a naked man, or hairless dog, with it's spine bent as if it had been hit by a car. It is usually a pale grey and has hollow eyes as mentioned before. Oddly enough, some people report it as being a more sandy color, perhaps because of the recent devouring of a victim. Also, some witnesses say it has claw-like fingers, and some say it's hands are normal, like a human's.
