Talk:The Rake/@comment-34365874-20180116195117

First off, I just want to say that all those disbelievers can go take a hike. Ok, moving on. This happened just a month ago, about a week before christmas after 9:00 PM. The last I had ever thought of the rake was when I was a kid, ten years ago. My mom, while going to bed, told me that the wind was knocking around our plastic nativity set on our porch. I grabbed a LED flashlight from our cabinet, unlocked the door and walked out. Because it was nightime, it was pitch black, but I wasn't worried because the porch was just a few feet from the door. I calmly walked to the porch, but only got about halfway whe I saw something. A mere six feet away from me, near our old play forts was a pale, bent over figure. I only saw it for a few seconds, but I can describe it pretty well. It looked exactly like the rake was said to appear. It was humanoid, with a bent over, disproportionate body. It was extremely pale, and appeared to be walking on two legs. I could even hear its footsteps, one after another. I could not see it's face or hands in the darkness. It did not seem to notice me, not even turning my way. Soon after, it disappeared into the shadows where even my flashlight couldn't follow. I thought to myself screw the nativity set and ran back inside. The next morning, we checked where I had seen it. There were deer tracks a few feet away from the location, and my family tried to convince me that I had just seen a deer (they're all christians, so they didn't believe in the rake), but I remain unconvinced to this day. I know what I saw. That's my account of seeing the rake.
