Creepypasta - El Parasito (The Rake retake)
Main summary
Key takeaways
Recap / Main Plot
The video unfolds as a chain of “evidence files” and firsthand stories centered on one enduring horror: a pale, humanoid predator with dark, vacant “eye sockets.” It stalks at night, follows a signature “rake” behavior, and—across centuries and multiple modern incidents—appears to be the same entity.
Witness accounts and medical records suggest the creature can:
- erase victims from records,
- resist weapons,
- and cause extreme biological transformation in its victims.
Standout Highlights (by segment)
1) Ancient documents & the entity’s origin pattern
- The narrator begins with “classified” historical testimony, starting from a sailor’s log dated around 1691.
- The sailor records an encounter after sensing something at the foot of his bed, then later “disappears.”
- Authorities are unable to find traces.
- A later jump (nearly two centuries) introduces a German citizen’s diary describing terror:
- enormous black “holes” where eyes should be,
- wet hands,
- and an inability to sleep afterward.
- Those later records are also erased—no death certificate, no civil trace—implying the creature doesn’t merely kill, but removes people from history.
2) The “forensic” case: Gabriel Grayson / the medical escalation
- The narrative shifts to a forensic file tied to 1964 and a suicide note (explicit contents withheld).
- Autopsy details emphasize:
- deep cervical/neck wounds consistent with “biological bites,”
- grayish-pale skin discoloration,
- thick black saliva.
- The victim previously experienced psychotic crises after seeing a pale creature; police dismissed it as delusion until the body revealed a different story.
- Another case (from 2006) introduces the public name for the entity: “the rake.”
- A woman survives proximity to the creature near a child.
- She shows no visible injuries and no follow-up illness, suggesting the creature’s “harm” may be selective or staged.
3) 2010 Italian clinic: the “retake” horror machine
- In 2010, a medical anomaly case is admitted to an Italian clinic.
- The government shuts the clinic down completely:
- wipes official records,
- censors news,
- and disguises the incident as a meningitis outbreak.
- In 2012, urban explorers locate a hidden medical file.
- Soon after leaving, death seems to “follow” them:
- a friend dies shortly after,
- the narrator hides in a dark motel because sunlight triggers unbearable migraines,
- the narrator believes their own disappearance is imminent and posts the full file before dying.
4) The clinic’s medical progression (Day 5 → Day 21)
The video’s most intense section is a day-by-day transformation log:
- Day 5
- extreme hyperthermia spikes,
- patient remains aware,
- babbles about a humanoid stalking from corners.
- Day 11
- drastic morphing: bone thinning into something tall and inhuman,
- vocal cords destroyed,
- less mention of the original stalker.
- Day 15
- full necrosis and accelerated self-digestion,
- eyes become black with irises gone,
- face becomes predator-like,
- clothing destroyed as bone elongates,
- only high-frequency squeals.
- Day 19
- teeth and fingers remodel into claw-like structures,
- “empty sockets of absolute darkness.”
- Day 21
- normal logic collapses:
- outbreaks stop and it behaves like a wild predator,
- it can’t be fed by serums or food,
- bullets don’t harm it; ammunition appears absorbed or contained by its skin.
- A doctor tries direct sedation; it breaks containment and brutally tears apart a colleague’s face.
- A “millisecond” of blindness from a halogen light briefly fixes attention on the narrator, then it escapes.
- normal logic collapses:
Final haunting question: How many more exist?
5) Norway ranger story: the “drawing” leads to surveillance
A separate narrator—an off-duty ranger in northern Norway—presents a more grounded, creepier arc:
- He finds deep claw marks on trees.
- Inside the cabin, he discovers a hand-drawn sketch left on a notebook page.
- For days, it’s lingering dread—nothing overt happens.
- On a Tuesday night:
- he hears footsteps in the dark,
- checks cabin cameras later and sees the creature on infrared (thin silhouette and glowing eye sockets),
- he captures evidence, grabs a USB drive, and flees immediately.
- After five days missing:
- he shows his wife the evidence.
- she initially doesn’t believe him.
- then she sees the drawing and the USB image and asks him to throw the USB away—suggesting the evidence itself “activates” or validates the threat.
- The segment ends with a deleted-blog framing: the post is connected to other “uploaded proof,” but paranoia remains.
6) Mountain hiker story: cave painting evidence & unanswered medical decline
Another user (“Fantasía John 55”) claims to find:
- a cave crack leading to an underground cavern,
- metallic, heavy air,
- and a deteriorating cave painting depicting figures fleeing something with:
- fangs,
- long claws,
- and dark spots—matching the rake imagery.
Later, the hiker reports worsening symptoms:
- headaches and weakness,
- medication stops working,
- a doctor suspects flu.
His final log entry appears in December 2004, and shortly after, he disappears.
Family reports include:
- the residence is dark,
- laptop left running with a cracked screen,
- no blood or signs of ordinary violence,
- deep claw marks carved into the wooden edges of the bed,
- dense black-tinted residue on the floor.
Jokes / Tone notes
- There’s almost no genuine “joke” content.
- Humor is mostly involuntary and dark—e.g., early dismissive ideas like “teenager prank” used as coping—but it never lands as true comedy.
- The most memorable reactions are fear-driven:
- freezing when the creature appears on camera,
- forced flight,
- the wife immediately wanting the USB discarded.
Key Reactions the Video Leans On
- Disbelief → proof
- characters shift from “prank/animal” to “evidence on camera/USB.”
- Institutional denial
- police and governments attempt to dismiss or erase incidents.
- Sunlight and migraine
- one narrator’s daylight-triggered migraines add a survival constraint tied to the creature’s rules.
- Erasure after death
- victims vanish from records, not just life.
