FaithSeeker, I am not to sure what this is based on, maybe this is a new thing. Also, I wouldn't be so quick in denying the existence of him on the physical plane. You never know;)
Such a creature like this, surely can exist only in another Astral plane. But there is a spirit of it, that still exist in our plane. If you do some Astral Projection you'll notice. It is a myth indeed, but its spirit can exist here. It's spirit is known as Ganiota. It is like the Incubus, but deadly. I hope my advise will help. Blessed be.
It's not real. Just like Slenderman it's another internet meme. The Rake is from a short story or "creepypasta" as it's known on the chans that someone wrote. Creepypasta are just stories that people write to share and creep each other out. It's a horror short story, nothing more.
There probably are a lot of mythical creatures that exist on the physical plane, but (assuming I'm right) they are certainly very rare and are likely to avoid attracting attention to themselves. If there were creatures like The Rake out there killing people, I find it very hard to believe that someone wouldn't be hunting them down. I do think that most mythical creatures lived on Earth at one time or another, but eventually fled to the astral plane when us humans started taking over.
Scrupulous, I am called NightmareKid for a reason;)
And to answer some questions, If something like the Rake were running around, I would guess that people have in fact tried to find and kill it (which all scared pathetic human beings do when they do not understand something). But they may not have had any luck and just probably gave up. And Bardou, you seem like a smart man, so are you completely denying the existence of such a being? There are some pretty strange things out in the world, especially at night;) Hehe

Ok, look at the home page of creepypasta, it says: "What is "Creepypasta"? A Creepypasta is a short story that is posted on the internet that is designed to unnerve and shock the reader."
