In July 2021, a 911 call from Currie, North Carolina, shocked listeners when a driver screamed, “That’s not human!” after a mysterious humanoid creature leapt into the back of his truck near Moores Creek Battlefield. Deputies blamed tree branches, but cryptid researchers believe this was a real-life encounter with the Rake—an internet-born monster described as a pale, clawed humanoid that stalks its victims at night.

Join us on Steeped in Lore as we explore the chilling 911 call, the legend of the Rake, the dark Revolutionary War history of Moores Creek, and why this stretch of rural highway may hide more than shadows. Perfect for fans of paranormal podcasts, Appalachian folklore, and true cryptid encounters.
