I used to have dreams about a creature amazingly similar to The Rake when I was six to the age of nine and once more when I was twelve... long before I ever read any of the Creepypastas or even had any contact with anything similar to The Rake. Long, claw-tipped fingers, hollow, gaping eyes, hair-less and dog-like, yet oddly human at the same time... scrawny and sickly looking... mutated...

....then about two years before I started reading Creepypastas or heard of The Rake... my grandmother told a story about a creature much like The Rake attacking her family when she was a child...

When I read The Rake for the first time I was terrified... because I remember being scared to death and drawing doodles constantly as a little kid saying "I can still hear him speak to me when I wake up but I don't know what he's saying"... I thought it was all just a silly childhood nightmare and now the two occurrences added up to one end...

...and now I've seen the same thing with my own two awake eyes...
