The Red Treehouse is dedicated to my Dad. I love you, Pop. -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore a genuinely terrifying cryptid--The Rake. Often described as a "thin, hairless, humanoid creature" with sharp teeth and claws, encounters with The Rake are often horrifying and deadly.

What is it? How does it attack its victims? And is there any chance of escape if you were to ever come face-to-face with this vile creature?

Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!
