    The Rake is a creature, believed to be a humanoid in appearance, with several references in folklore and horrific urban legends. The creature reportedly attacks humans due to unknown reasons and often causes its victims great psychological trauma. Several theories as to the first development of the Rake point towards internet threads and online discussions; however due to alcoholism, allusions to a creature known as the Rake can be found well before these sources could've developed the idea. The Rake has also been tied to alternate figures, such as Slender Man, an internet meme and subject of several video games, based on ancient folklore referencing an unnaturally tall and skinny man mysteriously lurking in the woods. It is theorized that the Rake could possibly be a proxy of Slender Man, subject to its own self mutilation and psychological disorders. A youtube channel showing images and footage captured of the rake was closed down. But if you search the rake caught on tape you will find a half hour video showing you these episodes... The guy found his dead cat.

    There are many meanings of the term, from a gardening implement

    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_4?url=sea...

    to "a old fashioned term for a man of loose morals or a womaniser."

    Hogarth's etchings Stravinski's opera and a related film refer to the latter term.

    A rake is what you use to gather leaves in your yard in the fall.
