The Rake is the subject of a {{creepypasta}} regarding a murderous [[HumanoidAbomination human-esque]] creature that has appeared numerous times. [[IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] the landscaping tool, The Rake's name comes from one particular case of an attack by this thing, in which a dying girl (hurt by the beast) simply called it by this name.

The Rake has a voice that instills terror to go with its appearance. It's entirely possible that there may be more than one, but let's '''not''' think about that.

! Tropes associated with The Rake stories:
* {{Crossover}}: Many more recent creepypastas like to involve both the Rake and [[TheSlenderManMythos the Slender Man.]]
* ParanoiaFuel : The rake likes to watch people while they sleep. This is as creepy as it sounds.
* ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight: Actually averted in most cases, though it has the potential to be this way.
