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.

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