This was a few years ago now and I think about it more often than is probably warranted. But I was in the south London suburb, walking down an entirely normal road on a summer morning when I noticed something strange on the pavement a few steps ahead. Upon inspection, I realised it was the blackened body of a very dead frog. It looked for all the world like it had been burnt. It was on its back, I think, legs stretched out. It was only a couple of inches long, legs included. Was this an instance of some sort of animal cruelty? Or do frogs occasionally go on fire in hot weather? I couldn't help thinking something occult was going on, but that was just my overactive imagination, I'm sure. Once was odd enough, but I saw another frog in the same state a little later that year in the same area. Anyone else ever seen something similar (not just in London)? Any explanations?
