In March 2014, in the vicinity of Birobidzhan, local activists of the Stalkers movement discovered the creature Reik. This is evidenced by two videos posted on the Internet. In the first video, Rake is screaming, and in the second, the guys are almost face to face with him. A more precise location of the creature is the abandoned workshops of the Dalselmash plant.
I must say that this is not the first appearance of Reik in public. At the moment, several evidence of a meeting with this creature has accumulated. We will talk about them below, but for now let's talk about who Rake is. So let's get started.
Definition
Rake, or Rake Man, is an extremely thin humanoid-type creature with sharp long claws, which is how it got its nickname. Information about him is rather scarce, as it is believed that the authorities deliberately hide everything and destroy any documents with the mention of his name. Like the Thin Man, Reik is a popular character in scary stories. For many people, the names of these creatures are synonymous. Actually it is not.
Who is the Thin Man?
To avoid confusion, let's talk a little about this creature. Witnesses describe him as wearing a black funeral suit. He is very thin and can stretch his torso and limbs to incredible lengths. He is also able to sprout tentacles from his back, resembling Dr. Octavius from Spider-Man.
As you can see, Thin Man and Rake are two completely different creatures that should not be confused. Now let's move on to describing the evidence of the meeting with Rake.
History
In the summer of 2003, a series of mysterious events took place in the northeastern United States involving a mysterious humanoid creature. At first they were interested in the local press. Newspapers were full of headlines: “Reik - a creature from outer space or a man?”, “Attack of a humanoid on a man”, etc. But then everything suddenly died down. For unknown reasons, most online and printed descriptions of the creature were destroyed.
Initially, people saw him in the suburbs of New York. When confronted with this creature, witnesses experienced a variety of emotions. For some, Reik caused indescribable horror and fear, while for others it was childish curiosity. And although the printed versions of their stories are no longer available, the memory of them is still alive thanks to some participants in those events.
In 2006, they started looking for evidence of Reik's existence. They managed to collect about two dozen documents (from the 12th century to the present day) from four continents. The stories were very similar. Below are some excerpts from their book,which is scheduled for release soon.
1691. Logbook entry
He came to me in a dream. I felt his gaze with my whole body. He took everything. Now we need to go to England. We will never return here again. So asked Reik, a creature from the underworld.”
1880. Diary entry
“It was the greatest horror of my life. He comes as soon as I fall asleep. He has black and empty eyes. Rake is a creature that simply pierces with its gaze. He has a slimy, wet hand. He tells me… (more illegible text).”
1964. Suicide Note
Before I die, I want to ease the pain that I will cause with this act. Please don't blame anyone but Rake for this. I felt his presence for the first time as soon as I woke up. This is the strangest creature I have ever seen. His eyes and voice are terrible. I can't sleep for fear. Suddenly he will come again. I'm afraid I might not wake up. Farewell.”
This note was found in a wooden box. Also there were a couple of empty envelopes and a short letter:
Dear Linnie, I prayed a lot that Rake wouldn't come to you. The creature spoke your name.”
2006 Certificate
“Three years ago my family and I went to Niagara Falls. After returning home very tired, we put the children to bed and immediately went to bed.
I woke up around 4amstraightened the sheet and accidentally woke her husband. Turning to me, he sharply pulled his legs up to him. And he did it so fast that I almost fell out of bed. Good thing he caught me.
After half a second, I understood the reason for his strange reaction. At our feet was something that looked like either a hairless dog or a naked person. Of course, I knew that there were strange creatures in the world, but I did not think to face one of them live. His position was very unnatural, as if after a car accident. For some reason, I wasn't scared at all. On the contrary, I was worried about his condition. At that moment, it seemed to me that it needed our help.
In the blink of an eye, the creature crawled up to my husband and began to look into his eyes. All this went on for about half a minute. Then it touched his knee and ran out into the corridor towards the nursery.
I screamed and ran out to protect my children. Once in the corridor, I noticed him sneaking along the wall about six meters away from me. I will never forget that piercing look. The creature's body was covered in blood. I turned on the light in the nursery and saw my injured daughter Clara. While my husband and I tried to help her, the creature ran down the stairs. Our daughter's last words were, "His name is Rake."
The husband picked up his daughter in his arms and carried her to the car to take her to the hospital. But on the way the car fell into the lake. He also died. In our small town, the news spread pretty quickly. The police wanted to help us, and the press showed a remarkable interest in us. However, mythe story was never published, and local television did not respond at all.
Me and my son couldn't go home. And we spent the next few months in a hotel not far from my parents' house. But in order to find answers, I decided to return. With great difficulty, I managed to find a man from a neighboring town with whom the same story happened. We met and discussed our misfortunes. He knew two other people who had seen Rake.
We spent about two years looking at websites that described unusual creatures, trying to find references to Reika. But there was no detailed history or description of the consequences of his activities in any source. Only in some diary, three whole pages were devoted to the creature.
Sometimes there were cases when Rake appeared to the same person several times. He even spoke to someone, as in the case of my daughter. It made me wonder if the creature has visited us before.
Every night I sleep with the voice recorder on, and in the morning I listen to the recordings. In addition to my tossing and turning in my sleep, I hear nothing. But one day, a piercing voice rang through the headphones, Reik's voice. I'm very scared. I would not wish even an enemy to have strange creatures like Reik appear in his life.
Since he took everything that was dear to me, I have not seen him, but, judging by the record, he was in my room. And now I feel fear every day. I'm afraid to wake up and feel his piercing gaze on me.”
