A long time ago, when we were very young (like 10isg), my friend- we'll just call him H- was telling me about this one time about how a once when he was playing in the woods behind his house, a strange figure started chasing him. He said that he hid under a fallen tree for a while, sobbing, then ran home. I asked him if it was a man and he told me it was not. He said it was some kind of monster. I asked him for details, he told me it was tall, hunched over and didn't really have a face. H was never good with words. Naturally I didn't believe him. Well, a few years later when we were in our teens we had taken an interest in creepypastas and internet folklore. When browsing one day we came across the Rake story. Upon reading through it and seeing the picture, H told me this is what he had seen in the woods. He said that it had ran at towards him. He seemed afraid. Now me and H have been in school plays together and I now he was no acting ability whatsoever. He was genuinely scared. I'm still not sure about it his story. It seems so outlandish. what do you guys think?
