The Rake by Bryan Somerville
Summary
Mr. CreepyPasta recounts the 2003 "Rake" incident, a mysterious human-like creature that terrorized rural New York before a media blackout erased most records. The episode features historical accounts from 1691 to 1964, alongside a detailed witness testimony of a family whose daughter was fatally injured by the creature. The narrator shares excerpts from an upcoming book and describes a chilling discovery of the Rake’s voice on a home recording, concluding with standard channel acknowledgments.
