Urban Legend | The Rake

The Rake

     Tells of eyewitnesses who see a mysterious creature called "The Rake". His presence often brings death. There is a child trying to find his mother, who is one of the eyewitnesses of the appearance of this creature. And what he found was a horrible story that would haunt him for life.

     There was a strange event that took place along the northeastern part of the United States during the summer of 2003, which was the appearance of a mysterious creature resembling a human being seen before the electricity went out. This news shocked the media and society at that time. But there isn't much information left. Because mysteriously, all online news and written records from eyewitnesses about this creature suddenly vanished.

     Part of this testimony comes from the suburbs of New York. They tell of their encounter with this unknown creature. When interviewed the emotions of eyewitnesses mixed up, ranging from trauma and feeling uncomfortable to the curiosity of the existence of this creature.

     In 2006, an investigation was conducted which succeeded in collecting nearly two dozen documents dating from the 12th century to the present, and includes records from 4 continents and almost all cases and all stories identical.

Here are some of them.


A journal translated from Spanish: 1880

I have experienced the most terrible terror. I have experienced the most terrible terror. I have experienced the most terrible terror. I see it with my own eyes. The eye is empty. Dark. Black. His eyes saw me and had stabbed me. Wet hands. I won't sleep. His voice ... (the journal was torn here).


Ship Logbook: 1691

     He came when I slept, from the foot of my bed I felt his presence. He takes everything. We have to go back to England. We may not return here. This is The Rake's request.
     I was thrilled to read the next letter. This is my mother's handwriting. For this reason I have been searching so far.


A witness note: 2006

     Three years ago, I just returned home from a vacation to Niagara with my family on the 4th of July commemoration. We were so tired because of the long journey, so my husband and I fell asleep as soon as we put the kids to sleep.
     Around 4 am, I woke up feeling my husband got out of bed to use the bathroom. And at that moment I pulled the blanket over my body, but he just woke up because of it. I apologized and said that I thought he was awake. When he turned to me, he seemed to gasp and immediately pull his legs from the end of the bed so fast that his knees almost dropped me from the bed. He then embraced me and said nothing.
     After my eyes adjusted to the darkness for half a second I could see what caused my husband to be so scared. At the end of our bed, sat a creature, back to us. He looks like a naked human. His body position is very abnormal and so disturbing, like being hit by a car or something. For some reason, I didn't immediately get scared when I saw it, but instead felt sorry. I even feel that we need to help him.
     My husband peered from between his arms and knees. He was curled up like a fetus, occasionally glancing at me before then looked at the creature again. With a movement that was barely noticeable, the creature crawled to the side of the bed and crawled onto my husband's body. He was even just a few centimeters from my husband's face. The creature was silent for about 30 seconds (or maybe 5 seconds because time seemed to run very long at that time) while continuing to stare at my husband's face. The creature then placed his hand on my husband's knee and immediately ran toward the hallway, toward the children's bedroom.
     I screamed and ran as fast as possible to push the light switch. I tried to stop him before he hurt my children.
     When I arrived in the hallway, I saw him curl up and bend around 6 meters from where I was standing. It was dark and there was only light from my bedroom, but I could see his face covered in blood when he turned to me. I immediately pressed the light switch in the hallway and saw my daughter, Clara.
     The creature ran with all four legs down the stairs while my husband and I immediately rushed to help our daughter. He was very badly injured and had whispered one word before finally fainting.

"He is ... The Rake ..."

     My husband immediately ran him to the hospital. And that's the last time I saw them both. My husband's car plunged into the lake, did not know because of an accident or my husband deliberately did it. Which caused them to not survive.
      Living in a small town made the news of the tragedy that happened to us spread very quickly. The police were very helpful at first and the reporters were also very interested in this news. However, stories about us were never published in the newspapers and our interviews with local reporters were also broadcast.
      For several months, me and my son Justin stayed at my parents' house. After we decided to go home, I began to look for answers to all of this alone. I finally found a man in a neighboring city who had experienced the same thing. We met and he began to share the horrible experiences he had experienced. He knew some people in New York also saw the creature and called it "The Rake".
     I needed two years to gather evidence of the existence of the creature. News from the internet did not help at all, but I managed to collect old notes about the creature. None of them explain the details of the origin of this creature. Maybe this creature is older than these records.
     However, I learned one thing about these notes. Often, the visit of the creature is not the only one. He will conduct a series of visits, not just once, to the people he targets. And strangely, they mentioned the names that these creatures would later visit. The name of my daughter was one of them and this made me wonder, was the visit of The Rake that night not the first?

And not the last one?

     I turned on the digital recorder beside my bed and let it record all night, every night, for two weeks. By the end of the second week, I had been able to distinguish the sound that I caused when I rolled on the bed, the creak of the bed when I moved above, the clock seconds, and other sounds from outside the house, like dogs barking, pounding locusts, birds, or cat.
     But on the first day of the third week, another voice began to be recorded. A shrill sound. I know for sure, that is The Rake. I could never hear it for too long to understand what he was trying to say. I also never let anyone listen to me other than me. All I know, I've heard that voice, when the creature spoke to my husband the night of the incident. Strangely, before I never felt I had heard any sound that night. But for reasons I don't know, the sound on the tape reminded me of the incident that night.
     I have never seen that creature since he destroyed my life. I left Justin with my parents, fearing that he would be hurt if involved in my investigation.
     I have never seen that creature, but I know, he is always in my room while I sleep. I know he is watching me and trying to talk to me.
     And what I'm really worried about is not one day opening my eyes and seeing that creature looking at me. But because he began to name my son, Justin.

Here are some photos of these creatures:





Some dates of the photo of this creature's appearance are unknown.
