I'm about to give you five good reasons why you should really fear the rake.

This world is a strange one.

You might think the rake is just a creepypasta, but to all of you about to comment that,

think again.

Creatures of that very same description have been cited all over the globe for centuries.

The rake is a smallish humanoid creature with pale, hairless skin that torments you in

your sleep and waking life, and these allegedly true stories might just show us how real

the rake can be.

But first, if you've ever spotted a creepy creature in the UK, send me your story at

darknessproveils.org.

I'd love to read it.

Thank you.

Now, don't close your eyes for too long.

When you open them again, something might just be sitting on the edge of your bed.

walk together to either one's house.
