  • Strange But True: The Kentucky Meat Shower of 1876
    2025/05/29

    On March 3, 1876, the quiet town of Olympia Springs, Kentucky, experienced one of the strangest weather events in history—a shower of raw meat falling from the sky. That’s right, for several minutes, chunks of flesh, some as big as four inches, rained down over a 100-yard area, leaving the townspeople both horrified and completely baffled.

    Was it a bizarre meteorological event? A cosmic meat storm? Or, as scientists later suggested, was it just a case of very unlucky vulture vomit? In this episode, we break down the facts, explore the most popular theories, and try to figure out what really happened that day.

    Get ready for one of the weirdest true stories you’ve ever heard!
