The Rake

During the summer of 2003, events in the Northeastern United States involving a strange,

human-like creature sparked brief local media interest before an apparent blackout was enacted.

Little to know information was left intact, as most online and written accounts of the creature

were mysteriously destroyed.

Primarily focused in rural New York State and once found in Idaho, self-proclaimed witnesses

told stories of their encounters with a creature of unknown origin.

Emotions ranged from extremely traumatic levels of fright and discomfort

to an almost childlike sense of playfulness and curiosity. While their published versions

are no longer on record, the memories remained powerful. Several of the involved parties

began looking for answers that year.

In early 2006, the collaboration had accumulated nearly two dozen documents dating between

the 12th century and present day, spanning four continents.

In almost all cases, the stories were identical.

I've been in contact with a member of this group and was able to get some excerpts from

their upcoming book.

A Mariners Log, 1691.

We must return to England.

We shall not come here again at the request of the rake.
