Found a 12” fish in the middle of my back yard. It’s frozen solid.

    1. So , have you made enemies lately ?

      How’s your relationship with the neighbors and in laws ?

      Good luck

    2. Do you live next door to a French castle? If so, watch out for the cows, they’re a doozy. 

    3. My guess, someone was about to grill a fish, turned their back, and an Eagle or Falcon nabbed it. They then lost grip, or noticed something was off (being cold/frozen), and let go. Dropping it in your yard.

    4. Once I lived in an apartment above a cop. I was the third floor. One morning I found an entire ham with about 100 cloves decoratively placed in geometric patterns, inserted into the outside. It was just sitting in the grass. I stared at it for like 10 minutes from the third floor before I went to investigate.

      I’ve heard they sometimes try to stow away in the wheel wells of airplanes, but they fail to take into consideration the extreme cold at high altitudes.

    6. Based on the blood around the gills/mouth and the talon puncture in the side I believe this fish was caught (ospray prolly) and dropped around sunset and the freezing overnight temps basically froze it on your lawn. Fishing birds do drop fish by accident on occasion and don’t return for them.

      Gizzard shad. Was probably frozen to be used as catfish bait. An Eagle or heron or something snatched it and dropped it in your backyard.

    8. We moved here 6 months ago. And we joke we moved to this weird cult like new development. Very “shadow over innsmouth” vibes. Constant string of oddities. Some weirder than others. But the fish is giving credence to our Innsmouth theory.

    9. Okay I googled “frozen fish falling out of the sky” apparently it’s a thing. 🤔

      Frozen fish can fall from the sky due to a rare weather phenomenon called animal rain, which happens when strong winds, such as those from waterspouts or updrafts, lift small creatures from a body of water into the air. These creatures are then carried aloft and fall back to earth when the storm loses its strength, and can even be frozen into hailstones during very cold conditions, according to the Library of Congress.

      Looks like a shad. It’s not uncommon for people to catch shad and freeze them to later use as bait. Someone may have been cleaning out their deep freezer and threw out the frozen shad out into their yard (probably hoping some varmint would eat them overnight), but maybe a large bird got ahold of one and dropped it into your yard.

    11. Arctic Glassjaw (Fishus Frozenus)
      A rare delicacy found only in the frozen food section. Known for its transparent personality and complete lack of ambition, it spends its life floating between the peas and the pizza rolls. Tastes like optimism and mild regret. Best served thawed, allegedly.
