The curious case of a sheep with a 26 lb horn growing from its throat. Full account of the presenting of the sheep before the Royal Society in London, 1755, here: https://buff.ly/2eFEmCM
"It was said that on opening him there was found in the top of the horn next the throat which was hollow half way down a skull of a contracted round form with blood vessels running on it and a bag filled with grumous blood among which was a substance like a sheep's liver and lungs and a perfect sound kidney like that of a fresh loin of mutton. And this was attested by the names of 3 house keepers of credit who were present when the animal was opened and who if required were ready to make oath of it."
