When it attacks, a mouth opens up, as if a hinged skull that opens at the chin. Usually just watches the observer, but will stand up and attack if approached. As in, no nose, no mouth… Usually seen in front yards in suburban areas. “Here’s what we’ve got so far: Humanoid, about six feet tall when standing, but usually crouches and walks on all fours. Photoshopped images of the Rake were soon created and the monster’s identity was tracked in this 2013 blog post: Sightings of the Rake monster began in 2003 as a collaborative project online, and it belongs to a genre of mythical creatures known collectively as “creepy pasta.” According to, it all began when a 4chan user posted on a /b/ board inviting others to contribute their ideas for the beasts “physical attributes and habits” to help make the new monster.

Although thousands of people believe this terrible quality video does indeed capture the legendary Rake monster, before believing a word they say, you would be well served to know a few facts about it, which lead to the total demystification of this beast. This effect is also apparent when a subject is close to the lens and moves it a few inches to the left or right, sometimes covering or revealing entire mountains on the horizon. When you move your finger a few millimeters, notice how it covers and reveals what appears to be several feet against the wall. Now close one eye and look at the finger. A good way to recreate this effect is to hold your finger up against your nose in your living room. On many occasions I have discovered my own “Rake monsters” in that such “appearances” are caused by a well understood occurrence which all photographers know about.Ī tiny speck of dust on a lens can sometimes appear to take on monster proportions, and what is more, because they are sometimes so close to the lens, moving the camera as much as a few millimeters causes the spec to “appear” to move several feet in video footage.

Since, I have conducted numerous still photography exhibitions and have filmed hundreds of hours of documentary video footage. In my 20’s I studied photography and video communications in the Glasgow College of Building and Printing.
