Scary Stories!

The Rake

Now, you don't have to take this seriously and I still, to this day, don't really believe in this but it did give me a few chills.
This did happen to me when I was about 9 or 10, about 2 or 3 years ago. Enjoy!
*************************************************
My mother drove my older brother, 13 or 14, me, 9 or 10, and herself to this hippie auction, kind of thingy, I honestly don't really know, but we met my Aunty Toni there. My Aunty Toni suggested that my mother, my brother and me should go to the auction with her at around 6:00pm.

Once we got there, my mother, my brother and myself all stepped out of the car to look for my Aunty. Once we found her and my cousins, we headed inside the auction area. All the children got bored so we went outside to play becaus there was a playground.

My brother and I met this boy around my age, at the time, and he ended up telling us about the legend of the rake and slender man. Don't get me wrong, I was a curious kid so I wanted to hear what he have to say. He ended up saying that his sister has seen the Rake in the forest, and he pointed at the forest next to the playground. It spooked me out but we continued to talk.

Soon, one of the children suggested that we play 44 homes, if you don't know what 44 homes is, it's basically a game where someone closes their eyes and counts to 44, once their done they have to find you and you have to rush to 'home' as fast a possible to not get tapped. INTENSE, I know. But me being that stupid kid, I hid near the forest (probably around 30 metres away from 'home'), and I looked over my shoulder as another kid was counting, as I looked into the forest all I could hear was the sound of trees swaying and the wind rustling the leaves.

I looked back at the kid and he was half way to 44, which is 22, so I peeked into the forest again but this time saw a person, arched, staring at me. I noticed that his fingers were long, longer than usual, and that he had a spooky vibe to him? I didn't know what to do so I just stared at him, my eyes widened as I heard the boy screamed 44, I didn't look at the boy because my eyes were fixed on the person in front of me, his long fingers almost touching the ground, his bare back arched.

I turned to see my brother looking at me, I mouthed 'what?' to him but he just shook his head and waved his hand signalling me that he will tell me later. For a split moment, I swung my head around to see if the person was still there or not, he was, he stared at me then suddenly ran away, I was struck with fear until I heard footsteps coming towards me. I turned my head around quickly to see the boy, who was just counting, running towards me. I sprinted away to 'home', I ended up reaching 'home' before he could touch me.

After we played 44 homes, I approached the boy, who told me about the Rake, and asked him what the Rake looked like. He described his to have an arched back with no clothes on, long finger and big round eyes. I shuddered at the thought of what I had just heard, I saw the Rake, well at least I think I have.
*************************************************

Well that was my story, tell me what you think about it. I never visited that place again and forests creep me out..like a lot. Anyway, I personally don't find my story too scary seeing as though this happened to me ages ago but the thought and image of the person I saw that day are still fresh in my mind.
I don't remember the boy's name yet I still have an idea of what he looks like.
