During the summer of 2003, events in the northeastern United States involving a strange, humanlike creature sparked brief local media interest before an apparent blackout was enacted. Little or no information was left intact, as most online and written accounts of the creature were mysteriously destroyed.
Primarily focused in rural New York state, self proclaimed witnesses told stories of thier enounters with a creature of unkown origin. Emotions ranged from extremely traumatic levels of fright and discomfort, to an almost childlike sense of playfulness and curiosity. While their published versions are no longer on record, the memories remained powerful. Several of the involved parties began looking for answers that year.-------
A Suicide Note: 1964
As I prepare to take my life, I feel it necessary to assuage any guilt or pain I have introduced through this act. It is not the fault of anyone other than him. For once I awoke and felt his presence. And once I awoke and saw his form. Once again I awoke and heard his voice, and looked into his eyes. I cannot sleep without fear of what I might next awake to experience. I cannot ever wake. Goodbye.
Found in the same wooden box were two empty envelopes addressed to William and Rose, and one loose personal letter with no envelope.
Dearest Linnie,
I have prayed for you. He spoke your name.
A Journal Entry (translated from Spanish): 1880
I have experience the greatest terror. I have experienced the greatest terror. I have experienced the greatest terror. I see his eyes when I close mine. They are hollow. Black. They saw me and pierced me. His wet hand. I will not sleep. His voice (unintelligible text).
A Mariner's Log: 1691
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.From a Witness: 2006-------
Three years ago, I had just returned from a trip from Niagara Falls with my family for the 4th of July. We were all very exhausted after a long day of driving, so my husband and I put the kids right to bed and called it a night.
At about 4am, I woke up thinking my husband had gotten up to use the restroom. I used the moment to steal back the sheets, only to wake him in the process. I appologized and told him I though he got out of bed. When he turned to face me, he gasped and pulled his feet up from the end of the bed so quickly his knee almost knocked me out of the bed. He then grabbed me and said nothing.
After adjusting to the dark for a half second, I was able to see what caused the strange reaction. At the foot of the bed, sitting and facing away from us, there was what appeared to be a naked man, or a large hairless dog of some sort. It's body position was disturbing and unnatural, as if it had been hit by a car or something. For some reason, I was not instantly frightened by it, but more concerned as to its condition. At this point I was somewhat under the assumption that we were supposed to help him.
My husband was peering over his arm and knee, tucked into the fetal position, occasionally glancing at me before returning to the creature. In a flurry of motion, the creature scrambled around the side of the bed, and then crawled quickly in a flailing sort of motion right along the bed until it was less than a foot from my husband's face. The creature was completely silent for about 30 seconds (or probably closer to 5, it just seemed like a while) just looking at my husband. The creature then placed its hand on his knee and ran into the hallway, leading to the kids' rooms.I screamed and ran for the lightswitch, planning to stop him before he hurt my children. When I got to the hallway, the light from the bedroom was enough to see it crouching and hunched over about 20 feet away. He turned around and looked directly at me, covered in blood. I flipped the switch on the wall and saw my daughter Clara. My husband drove his car into a lake that night, while rushing our daughter to the hospital. He did not survive.
Being a small town, news got around pretty quickly. The police were helpful at first, and the local newspaper took a lot of interest as well. However, the story was never published and the local television news never followed up either.
For several months, my son Justin and I stayed in a hotel near my parent's house. After we decided to return home, I began looking for answers myself. I eventually located a man in the next town over who had a similar story. We got in contact and began talking about our experiences. He knew of two other people in New York who had seen the creature we now referred to as the Rake.
It took the four of us about two solid years of hunting on the internet and writing letters to come up with a small collection of what we believe to be accounts of the Rake. None of them gave any details, history or follow up. One journal had an entry involving the creature in its first 3 pages, and never mentioned it again. A ship's log explained nothing of the encounter, saying only that they were told to leave by the Rake. That was the last entry in the log.
There were, however, many instances where the creature's visit was one of a series of visits with the same person. Multiple people also mentioned being spoken to, my daughter included. This led us to wonder if the Rake had visited any of us before our last encounter. I set up a digital recorder near my bed and left it running all night, every night, for two weeks. I would tediously scan through the sounds of me rolling around in my bed each day when I woke up. By the end of the second week, I was quite used to the occasional sound of sleep while blurring through the recording at 8 times the normal speed. (This still took almost an hour every day)
On the first day of the third week, I thought I heard something different. What I found was a shrill voice. It was the Rake. I can't listen to it long enough to even begin to transcribe it. I haven't let anyone listen to it yet. All I know is that I've heard it before, and I now believe that it spoke when it was sitting in front of my husband. I don't remember hearing anything at the time, but for some reason, the voice on the recorder immediately brings me back to that moment.
The thoughts that must have gone through my daughter's head make me very upset.
I have not seen the Rake since he ruined my life, but I know that he has been in my room while I slept. I know and fear that one night I'll wake up to see him staring at me.

Rake playing with strawberries.
This story was passed onto me. Take it as you will.

Ive excluded some of the more graphic parts. They were too much for me and I'm 18 and a horror fan, but it was just too much.

Creepy story. It looks an awful like some of the stuff the band Tool shows in their music videos.
It also sounds like a lot of the stories about the Jersey Devil (like "The Jersey Devil can Lick Hands Too" one).
-
Best monstruous humanoid ever.
-
After this story was passed onto me, I was awoke that night by loud screeching/ shrieking in my head (I hope it was in my head), and it continued for a few seconds till I was completly awake. Not even joking.

Edward Scissorhands turned evil.
I was actually going to post that in my first post but changed it.
Edit: And the second pic's one looks harmless compared to the first pic's one...
-
ouch thats creepy.
i wonder if there are any videos of it. or real pictures.
-
I doubt it. Along with the story, there was a phone number given to me, with a frantic voice on the other side, sounded to be a male in his early 20's and he would say "he wont move, his eyes burnt into mine, he is always there...." before trailing off and hanging up. It wasnt always those words exactly, but usually, thats what it amounted to. Once a crying woman answered when I called during the day. I wanted to ask some real questions, and see if it was for real. (I've only called 3 times, and I refuse to anymore.) I wont post the number either, but I will tell you its a Michigan area code, which makes me happy, as I live in Indy.
-
hmmm its near one of the great lakes. wonder if that has anything to do with it.
-
Honestly, I think this could all be in my head, the shrieking and such. The phone number terrified me, but that could be anyone trying to mess with people. He sounded so genuine, but perhaps hes just a great actor. I know I could not even begin to replicate the fear in his voice if I tried. I'll post some other accounts later tonight, of people who were given this story as well, and experenced things.
-
oh crap! so im gonna have a visit from him tonight?
-
It seems that a rather large majority of people who read this do experence something, usually as they are falling asleep/ dreaming/ or waking up. I believe its all in their head, simpily due the the disturbing nature of the story. I think it was in my head when I heard shierking as I woke up the night after I read it. I wouldnt worry about it. Although, I do have a friend who read this, fell asleep with the radio on, and the radio woke him up with a high pitched animalistic howling noise, and apparently turning down the volume didnt do a thing. I'll post what he wrote tonight.
-
Well, I read this story last night and I slept fine.
-
This sounds a bit scary. Best not let LRA2 see this :P
-
Amazingly I slept fine also, not really scared from the story.
-
I <3 urban myths like these.
This is the only one I can remember off the top of my head:
The Jersey Devil
-
My turn for story time!
The Jersey Devil
A teenage girl in southern New Jersey was left alone for the weekend while her parents went to the casinos in Atlantic City. On Saturday night, a terrible storm swept into the area. A heavy rain pounded on the roof. The wind rattled every window. And a bolt of lightning had knocked out the power in three counties.
All alone in a dark house lit only by candles, the girl was very frightened. But she had her dog with her - a big golden retriever. He wasn't exactly a killer, but at least he was comforting.
When she was ready to go to sleep, the girl took the dog into her room with her and had him lay down on the floor beside her bed. Every time the thunder crashed above her house, she awoke and reached down her hand. "You still there, Boo?" The dog would lick her hand and was reassured that she was not alone. Eventually, she fell into a deep sleep.
At about six the next morning, something dripping in the bathroom woke her. Assuming it was the tap, she climbed out of bed and went down the hall. Entering the bathroom, she was confronted with a horrifying and grisly sight. There was her dog, hanging by its neck from the shower head. Scrawled in blood on the mirror beside it was the message "The Jersey Devil can lick hands, too."
-
hmm the jersey devil can also spell and knows English.
-
A literate monster!

Wow, way to post an urban legend in a factual thread about the horror that is the Rake... "My turn for story time! Big Foot!" Would've been more appropriate. Besides, if I'm not mistaken I believe the title of this thread is "The Rake.", not "The Rake... and over-glorified urban legends."... Hijacking the thread won't save you from The Rake's cold rusted fingers, R0B0SH4RK... I pray he claims you as his first victim on this night...
-
Tankcat, please relax bro.. I'm sorry, roboshark, that was lame of him. He had an experence after he read and called the number, and it was not something to laugh about, so try to understand. I hang with him in real life on occation. I asked him over IM and he told me that it would be ok to tell you guy what happened. He was the guy that fell asleep with the radio on, we cracked it open because it stopped working after that night and I thought the speaker mangnet might be loose or something. The rubber insulation had been stripped off of 2 of the wires, and on one of them the underlying copper was totally shreaded, surrouned by brunt plastic. He claims he smelled nothing burning the night before and during the howling coming from it. I'm sorry again, but please go easy on him. I feel like crap now for even starting this topic without first asking if he was ok with it and over what happened. Im sorry Tank.
-
Rake is also quite aware of this topic as well... very aware indeed.

Well, I'm sorry that this sounded like every other single urban myth about a cryptid I've ever read. I didn't know an internet story that I've read before could be taken as indesputable fact. I completely understand that you had a freaky experience surrounding this story (I'd be scared too), but did you really have to say that you basically hope I die? That seems kinda harsh :(
EDIT: I'm sorry Moonbear if you did think that I was trying to hijack your thread. I wasn't. You shared a creepy story, so I thought I should too (:

I didn't say I hope you would die, I said I hope he claims you as his next victim this night. That could insinuate the radio screeching, and any other number of things...

No, harm man, I actually really liked that story. Tank is just very touchy on people acting like its just a story, I mean some of the dreams hes described after that..... The things that hes seen since then, things hes heard.. Hearing them gave me nightmares.... I know true fear when I look it in the face.... But yeah, if there are anymore you would like to share, go right ahead.

I remember back in grade 6 or 7 for me, I read a story about a black cat in Ireland (the Black Cat of Killakee, I think it was) that was similar in nature to what you told. I tell you, I could not sleep for almost a whole year because it terrified me so much for some strange reason.
I didn't say I hope you would die, I said I hope he claims you as his next victim this night. That could insinuate the radio screeching, and any other number of things...
I see. It just read like you wanted it to kill me or something. I was just like D: <--that.
If you really are being literally tormented by the thought of this thing, I hope you get through it. I really do.
Oh, and I found the 4chan archive of the discussion of the Rake from the paranormal board. In it there is a phone number, like the one you mentioned. There is also both of the pictures you (moonbear) posted. I'm not going to call it, just because I am admittedly creeped out to the point where caution overtakes my curiosity.
I don't friggin believe it. The lights in my house just started flickering and I'm getting damn paranoid now xD

Flickering lights are the first sign... I fear it may be too late... Just leave now, go to the closest, most populated area as soon as you can. I regret wishing The Rake upon you... now it's too late.
-
Ignore Tank. He's just joking. No need to leave, trust me. Its up to you, but I will ask that you please do not call that number, something is wrong, and its best not to risk it even if you are a skeptic my friend.
-
moonbear isn't in his right mind, if you don't leave now The Rake will surely take you...
-
Laughable. Tank, I know you and shark have had your issues, but no need to tell him the rake is coming to get him... Leave him be, and shark, like I said, ignore him. Im not saying this is nothing, I do think there is something to it from what I've seen, but theres no need to think its out to get you, youre fine man.
-
This isn't about what happened between me and R0B0SH4RK, I regret wishing The Rake on him, especially now that he's self-aware of its existence. It's merely a warning, I couldn't fathom the possibility of The Rake claiming another after so many years...
-
Tankcat you are pathetic.
I would be more afraid of the thought of a cop coming after me than the thought of a lousy blind deformed human wielding one-handed some huge ass 30lb+ steel claw.
So what you're gonna do now? Preaching the Rake will get after me ?
-
Rake is also quite aware of this topic as well... very aware indeed.
Rake (although blind and having huge claws for arms) is computer literate and plays RA2?
What freaked me most in this thread was looking at your avatar for a while, tank. It's... kinda freakeh.
-
I'm still here in one piece :|
I did a little research though and I found the story on a horror story sharing site, and virtually nothing else. I figure if this story had much backing, the folklore surrounding it would be much more intense. Personally, the pictures of the Florida Skunk Ape (http://www.strangecreatures.net/skunkape2.jpg) scare me more...
EDIT: added a link for all those who want to see.
-
florida sunk ape?
anywhay the only thing related to the rake that happend to me was a schreeching noise... but it was from a stupid bird(dont know what type it is)
-
I'll probably get a talking to from ACAMS or Mad for this but it is worth it.
tankcat, you are a f--king douche bag...

Fixed.
C'mon, guys. This should be a place where people humbly share their opinions and have fun, not where people argue on who has the bigger stick.
-
Sorry.
-
Wow. Just wow guys. I left for a day and I had a lot of other good stuff to post but this pretty much killed it. Thanks
-
At least R0B0SH4RK had the decency to reply nicely to my posts about The Rake towards him... Even after what I said to him in HA's thread, he didn't take my replies in this thread as direct insults, which is not what they were in the first place... R0B0SH4RK had the maturity to reply intelligently with a cool temperament AND keep to the topic of the thread (which I respect, honestly.)
And to Naryar and HA: What is up with you guys? Do you not think R0B0SH4RK can defend himself? Do you honestly think you guys are in the right to call me out on what I say to him if you can't grasp the context of my statements in the first place? If R0B0SH4RK didn't take them the wrong way, then why would you guys turn it into something huge? Just to put me in my place?
Last time I checked, you aren't mods... and if my statements don't concern you (which they didn't, they were directed towards R0B0SH4RK) why do you care? R0B0SH4RK is a big boy, you don't need to protect him. It would be one thing if R0B0SH4RK was on the offensive/defensive, but after it was all said and done he wasn't, there was no conflict.
Honestly, I wouldn't go into detail if I thought you guys could get it on your own but obviously you can't. Apparently Naryar and various other members feel that I'm getting my kicks by attempting to make R0B0SH4RK feel bad...? It was to add to the depth of the thread, I wasn't insulting R0B0SH4RK. In fact he kept ON topic AND added more information while replying to me.
My point is, I've been harsh with words towards R0B0SH4RK in the past, and he STILL decided to reply to my posts positively and maturely, where Naryar (especially) whom I haven't butted heads with at all, and HA decided to call me out on something that wasn't necessary, blatantly derailing the thread and disrespecting all that have participated in it.
Put some more thought into your posts before replying... If you guys kept a positive outlook and looked forward like R0B0SH4RK, instead of getting riled up over things for the wrong reasons, we would have a flame-free forum...
I don't know what else to say, for some reason I don't think my point will get across. You guys CHOOSE how you react to what people say, you could've just as easily replied positively and added to the thread but it appears you had a personal vendetta to call me out like I've been running rampant disrespecting everyone in my path.
I could understand HA giving me a little feedback, but calling me out on being a f--king douchebag wasn't really necessary... I admit I did pick at HA, but only after he gave me the opportunity to by calling me a noob, in which I replied he was a noob and so forth...
Anyways, I have a lot more respect for R0B0SH4RK now, but Naryar and HA... you're both upsetting The Rake.

Yeah, sure.
I have scarier things to worry about than a fictional "monster" that you have imagined. Like my own thoughts driving me insane to the point that I will cause harm to myself. It has happened before, and is likely to happen again.
-
Yeah, sure.

You sound like my ex, only she has ovaries. Get help, a game forum is not the place to find it.
Who knows, if you go that insane, and are a future threat to yourself, maybe youll get lucky and get locked up so you cant do it anymore.
-
I get help for it. It's just that some days are worse than others.
-
Take up boxing and cut loose on the other guy. Thats why I started. I have scary stuff too you know. Like bears. Ever been watching Futurama and have a bear bite your skullcap? Didnt think so.
-
Yeah, sure.

I love how you skipped straight to the last line, and that was the only one you cared to comment on... Did you even read the rest of my post? Or are you just looking to pick fights with me?
And dude, what is up with telling us that you've hurt yourself and are likely to hurt yourself again? Is that honestly called for in this thread? I mean what it seems like is you are trying to do is guilt trip me by saying "I already need to worry about my own thoughts, I've hurt myself and it's likely to happen again..."
I'm just saying, my post was meant to RESOLVE the issues of this thread. Yes, I poked a little fun at you and Naryar at the end of my post, but honestly you had it coming and it's not in bad intent either. It was to keep a tie to the thread while at the same time making a helpful suggestion... And once again, you reply offensively like I've insulted you or threatened you.
If you have a tendency to go insane from your own thoughts, why did you decide to read a "monster" thread in the first place? Honestly, if you're not fit for it there are other boards you can lurk/post in...
-
Becasue this entire thread is stupid. You're actually trying to make it sound like this thing is a reality, which it is not.
-
It is real, so incredibly real I can feel it with every fiber of my being... And besides, what do you care? This is the "off-topic" board, we can post whatever we want.
Also, give me a credible reason as to why this thread is "stupid". Lot's of horror stories operate off of the possibility of actuality, that is what makes them scary... If you already knew horror stories were fake, they wouldn't be scary... Except, in this case... the story is real. Done and done.
By the way, I find it incredibly offensive and frustrating that you would be so careless as to disregard my traumatizing experiences as fake. I know for a fact that my radio did scream on that fateful night, and when I pulled the cord from the wall, the noise continued...

Becasue this entire thread is stupid.....
Well that was kinda uncalled for. I think quite a few people enjoyed it and thought it was a great read. I know I did.

Was good for a read, but quite honestly i agree with HA. Untill i see it with my own eyes, i dont belive it. but it was not called for to call this thread stupid though
-
Yeah, even though I don't see why there's a huge argument, I don't see why you guys are trying to make this sound real? C'mon, I've insulted 'The Rake' many a time now just to see what happens, but nothing's happened. I'm not taking sides (although this message is probably being concieved as a biased point of view) but I think everyone should calm down.
It's a story.
Jeez, I wonder if anyone got this worked up about Frankenstein back then.

Now that's a really cool special effect. How did you do it?

Jeez, I wonder if anyone got this worked up about Frankenstein back then.
The arguing isn't about whether The Rake is real or not, my posts only tied back to The Rake in my finishing statements... the rest of my posts were to elaborate on why certain members think it's necessary to use insults and derail a thread just because they don't like it. And as far as The Rake goes, maybe moonbear had more faith in this board than he should've... You guys obviously aren't participating and upholding the "feeling" of the thread.
You're pointing fingers saying "I only believe what I see, this is stupid because you're trying to make it real, you're pathetic" etc... Why not participate in the thread? It seems like it would be fun to just jump in, everyone likes a good horror story... but everyone loves a true one.
-
It's probably because "feeling" dosen't really work over the internet. I got what you were trying to do, but for the longest time I couldn't figure out if you were being sarcastic or just having a weird-on. I was like :|
I still liked the story. It inspired me to go back through all my books and internet bookmarks about cryptids and read up on those again.
-
Well, if you guys liked it, I'll post another tonight.
-
I guess everyone here would rather try and tear down a story instead of reinforcing it with their own ideas. My bad.

I actually totally agree with what you're saying. I only said it isn't real cos I get so paranoid - I'm not such a great fan of horror stories and admittedly shouldn't be complaining about them because of that. This actually got me so creeped that i spent several hours researching it - and my girlfriend was so miffed off when I said I couldn't sleep :P (we were in seperate beds btw... i'm only 15 :P). Be sure to share more as I know many people enjoy them, I just don't think everyone digs trying to make them seem real, keeping the make believe world in the make believe world. If you know what I mean. I've you've read all that babble, you deserve a gold star :P
-
I liked both Moonbear and R0B0SH4RK's stories. I found R0B0's quite funny actually.
Tankcat, I do not see how the Rake and the radio are related. Are they supposed to be related?
-
I actually agree more or less with what Craaig said. I didn't let myself loose sleep over it, but I did think Tankcat was being serious.
Ah well, looks I deserve a gold star, Craaig. =)

In a way, you succeeded. People "try and tear down a story" when they're scared, not when they want to make fun of you.
-
Glad we gave some a good fright. And yes, what happened to Tank really did happen. He read the story, that night fell asleep with his radio on, it woke him with a very loud animalistic howl/ scream, that did not decrease in volume or intensity after he turned it down and unplugged it. I dont know how he got through the rest of the night but he did. Next day we cracked it open, as it would not work, and there was the remenents of the wire coating, melted all over the inside, 2 were bare, and one was frayed and ripped in half. Thats what happened, I saw it, believe it or not.
-
hmmm shouldnet it turn off if there was no power to it. i can understand wires melting and shorting but it kept going with the power off.
-
How did he know that it was the radio which made the noise? It could have been an animal outside. When you wake up from sleep, you can often be a bit out-of-it and not know where the noise is coming from.
-
Perhaps you should ask him. I wasnt there so I didnt hear it. Thats what he told me, and I can tell he wasnt making it up.
-
When my radio goes haywire, I know it's my radio. How do I know? It's two feet from my head, and as far as I can tell, there are usually no birds two feet from my head :P

exactly... Actually, I put the radio in my lockbox, I didn't want to throw it away without knowing it would be destroyed... haven't taken a good look at it in a while, but the screaming was coming from the radio... at first I thought it was a dream when I woke up, but then I realized it was my radio and thought it was my alarm going off. I wasn't really afraid until I unplugged it and it still kept making noise, gave me a good adrenaline rush as I didn't know what to do at that point. After a few minutes it stopped. Didn't take me long to put two and two together, I swear it was the Rake...
-
Why does a man with a rake specialize in messing with people's radios? They should call him The Screwdriver. Or The Soldering Coil.

THE RAKE IS COMING GUYS

Fun news, apparently the rake has been melding with slenderman mythos.
