About this episode

This episode explores the chilling legend of The Rake and its implications in modern folklore and fear.

In Episode 340 of The Shadow Frequency Podcast, Matt Wilson, Juniper Ravenwood, and Chris Beach explore the chilling legend of The Rake — a pale, crouched figure said to appear at bedsides, coastlines, and in the dark corners of the human mind. From alleged mariner’s logs and the disturbing 1964 note to sleep paralysis, internet folklore, and the fear of being silently watched, this episode asks whether The Rake is a modern myth… or an old nightmare with a new name. 🔗 More episodes & merch: shadowfrequencypodcast.com 🕒 Runtime: 24m 12s | 📅 Air Date: May 8, 2026 #TheRake #ParanormalPodcast #HorrorPodcast #Creepypasta #CryptidLore #SleepParalysis #SpookyStories #TheShadowFrequency
