Entombed animal
Entombed animals are animals reportedly found alive after being encased in solid rock (and sometimes coal or wood〔Mark Pilkington. "(Toads in the hole )". ''The Guardian''. January 20, 2005. Retrieved on January 9, 2009.〕) for an indeterminate amount of time. The accounts usually involve frogs or toads. The reputed phenomenon, sometimes called "toad in the hole",〔 has been dismissed by mainstream science, but has remained a topic of interest to Fortean researchers.

References to entombed animals have appeared in the writings of William of Newburgh,〔William of Newburgh. Trans. Joseph Stevenson. "The History of William of Newburgh", in ''(The Church Historians, volume IV, part II )''. 1856. 722.〕 J. G. Wood,〔J. G. Wood and Harrison Weir. ''(Sketches and Anecdotes of Animal Life )''. 1856. 39.〕 Ambroise Paré,〔Ambroise Paré. Trans. Janis L. Pallister. ''(Of Monsters and Marvels )''. 1995. 93.〕 Robert Plot,〔qtd. in George Griffiths. ''(A History of Tong, Shropshire )''. 1894. 192.〕 André Marie Constant Duméril, John Wesley, and others.〔〔 Even Charles Dickens mentioned the phenomenon in his journal ''All the Year Round''.〔Charles Dickens. ''(All the Year Round )''. Volume VIII. 1862-1863. 255.〕 According to the ''Fortean Times'', about 210 entombed animal cases have been described in Europe, North America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand since the fifteenth century.〔Jan Bondeson. ("Toad in the Hole" ). ''Fortean Times''. June 2007.〕
At times, multiple animals are said to have been encased in the same place. Benjamin Franklin wrote an account of four live toads claimed to have been found enclosed in quarried limestone.〔Benjamin Franklin. ("An Account of Toads Found Enclosed in Solid Stone." ) In ''The Works of Benjamin Franklin'', ed. Jared Sparks. Volume VI. 1882. 441–442.〕 In a letter to Julian Huxley, one Eric G. Mackley claimed to have freed 23 frogs from a single piece of concrete while widening a road in Devonshire. An 1876 report from South Africa said that 63 small toads were found in the middle of a tree trunk.〔Jerome Clark. "Entombed animals". ''Unexplained!''
