It's one thing if it's totally alien to me... but to have met people who have talked about the witch who lived down the road, or visited her, or had casual talk about dead relatives and sudden sleep-deaths?
Yeaaah, the metaphors fit my mental rubric a bit too well. And even more resonant because I can't remember the details, like some half-forgotten racial memory or something. I should have words for it, and if there's a word for something, it, well, might not belong in the box. Meanwhile I'm pretty sure there's no word for flukeman, so he's okay.
