Photos Of Frozen 'Ghost Apples' Are Going Viral. What Are They?

These amazing frozen 'ghost apples' have been found by a farmer after a particularly cold snap in Michigan, USA. While they might look like the fruity version of Cinderella's glass slipper, they're actually made out of ice! But where do they come from? Can you eat ghost apples?

As far as I can tell, this phenomenon hasn't really been seen before. During a brief Twitter exchange, I wondered if botanist extraordinaire James Wong had seen anything like this before, to which he replied: "No!" before noting that he isn't sure how a frozen apple would rot and fall out of the casing like that.
