Creepypasta Facts (TRUE)

The Rake

👽 It is a humanoid creature with large teeth and claws that stalks it's victims and appears at the end of their beds as they sleep, or in the woods or in their houses.

👽 The Rake originated on 4chan's /b/ board in late 2005. A thread was started by an anonymous user, who stated "Hey /b/ lets make a new monster!" Naturally, there were many ideas, but one stood out, and another user created a new thread based on this idea. The thread started with this post: "Alright, this is for the people who like the three-eyes, no apparent mouth, pale skin one. Here's what we've got so far: Humanoid, about six feet tall when standing, but usually crouches and walks on all fours. It has very pale skin. The face is blank. As in, no nose, no mouth. However, it has three solid green eyes, one in the middle of its forehead, and the other two on either side of its head, towards the back. Usually seen in front yards in suburban areas. Usually just watches the observer, but will stand up and attack if approached. When it attacks, a mouth opens up, as if a hinged skull that opens at the chin. Reveals many tiny, but dull teeth."

👽 The Rake went through many design and name changes during its beginning. One of the more prevalent names was "Operation Crawler". Below are a couple of the "checkpoints" from the thread where it originated.

👽 The most popular image is the one with it close up to the forest camara with white small eyes The image was taken on November 30th, 2010 and gained widespread traction across the internet to a point in which large local news stations were talking about it. Nobody had an idea on what to make of this terrifying ordeal, until it was later revealed to be a Resitance 3 Game hoax.

👽 The Rake is descried as a pale, thin, and naked humanoid figure. Or a large, deformed hairless dog. It's often seen as having white eyes. The Rake also has incredibly sharp claws, which is why it was dubbed 'The Rake'.

👽 The Rake is very mysterious, but it seems to be quite sadistic, cruel, and misanthropic, preferring to stalk, torture, and then murder its victims. The Rake is not always evil, sometimes it just prances around in the wilderness, if it gets looked at or pictured it will either attack or stalk you and then kill you later. Nether the less, the Rake is still a dangerous threat who will not hesitate to slaughter anyone in a sadistic and monstrous way.

👽 The Rake's existence is unclear, it is rumored to have been a human at one point that was mutated and gifted immortality, which seems likely due to its humanoid appearance. It is also possible that the Rake is some kind of alien from another world or planet.

👽 The Rake has been alive for hundreds of years, dating back to the 17th century, proving it to be an immortal entity.
