Skim
Origin: Manly Wade Wellman's "The Desrick on Yandro (fiction)"
Description
And above the treetops sailed a round, flat thing, like a big plate being pitched high. A Skim. Then another Skim. And the blood inside my body was cold and solid as ice, and my voice turned to a handful of sand in my throat.
A Skim is a strange, saucer-shaped, flying creature of the Appalachian backwoods.
Keeper Notes
- City folks who don't know any better have been known to mistake encounters with the Skim with "flying saucer" space-ships full of aliens, not realizing there is a far more sinister and malevolent explanation for the weird, saucer-shaped objects in the sky, the periods of lost time, and the horrific nightmares afterward.... (fan theory)
