Two hours away from Cincinnati and Great American Ball Park is Bath County, Kentucky, site of one of the all-time great American mysteries: the Kentucky Meat Shower. On March 3, 1876, around lunchtime, a farmer’s wife in Olympia Springs, one Mrs. Crouch, was making soap on her porch when, as she reported, chunks of meat began to fall from the sky, fast and thick like snowflakes, although the day itself was clear. Over the years, multiple theories would be put forth to explain the provenance of the mystery meat, but nothing was ever ruled upon decisively, and enough time has passed now that there will likely never be a definitive answer.
