The Rake is not a cryptid. I have no idea why this article labels it as such, but in the opening paragraph clearly states that the myth was arbitrarily created on 4chan (the original post and thread was about creating creepypasta), and hence it's not a cryptid. Cryptids are creatures whose existence is seriously suggested, but not recognized by science. The title should be changed to reflect this. 174.112.21.159 (talk) 04:31, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
