The Rake

The Rake is the name of a creature with very little known of it. It is described by original reports as a "naked man, or large hairless dog of some sort," with a body position that seemed "unnatural, as if it had been hit by a car or something." The Rake's only known appearance in video is here. It is captured in full twice, and is heard at least once. The creature seems sentient. He is often associated with a similar paranormal entity, known as Slenderman.

If you're really unlucky, he might visit you. And by that, I mean he will maul you whilst you sleep.

Summary

The rake has chewed a corpse. This was one person's very unfortunate last vision before they died.

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 their enounters with a creature of unknown 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. In early 2006, the collaboration had accumulated nearly two dozen documents dating between the 12th century and present day, spanning 4 continents. In almost all cases, the stories were identical. A man has been in contact with a member of this group and was able to get some excerpts from their upcoming book.
