We’re currently in SCal staying at The Daughter’s home, where also dwells COTU#1 & COTU#2. I am taking a WAG and say the source of the freezer contents in question were contributed by COTU#2.
A wadded up pair of dirty socks.
What have YOU found?

Not necessarily strange, but OLD. When my dad passed away three years ago, all ten of us kids were going through the garage in preparation for selling the house. Inside the freezer we found a large package of Otter Pops (like popsicles, but in a plastic pouch instead of on a stick) that must have been thirty years old.
Some of my brothers and I each had one. They weren’t very good.
Coworker says he found a dead cat in a customer’s freezer. The cat was a family pet that had been hit by a car right before the move and was being preserved for burial at the new residence.
I’ve never found anything strange myself
I have a yearly kids party and the past few years I’ve been hiring an ice cream truck to come by and give the kids ice cream treats. I pay in advance and the kids get their treats for free. Usually there’s enough left over in the “pot” that kids can get a second treat if they want.
I think some of the kids have eyes bigger than their stomachs because this year I found a couple open, half-eaten ice cream treats in my freezer. But since I rarely go in my freezer I didn’t find them until winter and I was super confused as to what they were and how they got there. Took me a few minutes to realize what had happened.
Well, there was the bat, but I put that in there myself. I had to freeze it and send it in to be tested for rabies because the cat tore a hole in its wing.
My parents found the car keys in there once. Not enough hands while unloading groceries was their excuse.
It wasn’t MY refrigerator, exactly, but the refrigerator left behind when the jerk I bought my house from decided to short-term rent the house while escrow closed. Like they were going to leave when asked. At least there wasn’t any damage, just annoyances.
They left behind a refrigerator that didn’t work. If you plugged it in, it warmed slightly and stank. In the warm freezer section was a naked plastic baby doll with 666 penned onto its forehead. I was glad to learn the the guy delivering my new refrigerator would take away the junker for free. The baby doll went into the trash.
A cardinal bird. My kids found it and decided it would be cool to freeze it.(they swore it was dead before they froze it)
I have lost and found keys and phones and once a book
I was reading in the freezer. Now family lore is ‘look in the freezer if its lost’.
Huh, they otter been fine…
I can’t think of anything odd I have found in a freezer. Ancient, certainly, when we cleaned out grandparent’s freezers after they passed on but 10 year old meat isn’t so much odd as it is…a discussion starter.
I’ve learned to expect some strange posts from you 
But why were you reading a book in the freezer?
Because the elephant was in her pajamas of course.
A 100 Kg Pacific White sided Dolphin.
We were keeping it for a local marine lab that had run out of freezer space. I kept the ice cube tray on the top of it’s head. Was great fun to send guests to get more ice.
Found implies that you didn’t know it was there however, I do know I have plastic cups of coreopsis blooms, queen Anne’s lace blooms and a bag of carrot tops. (Natural dyes)
Apparently this is not especially odd, but I’d never encountered it before: when we bought our house, there were a ton of batteries in the freezer. Apparently, freezing them helps them last longer?
There have been days in my life I would’ve enjoyed reading in the freezer.
And here I was all excited to swoop in with “a 25kg harbor seal! BAM! Mic drop!”
Sigh.
I’ll just go.
(Still true…)
My daughter swears that if you dig deeply enough in our freezer you will find Jimmy Hoffa’s body. I don’t know about that, but we recently unearthed a 5 kg turkey that had a 2016 date on it. We roasted it and ate it. It was delicious. Now the soup I made from the bones is filling the freezer. We will be moving into an apartment too small for a freezer in mid-July so we have to empty it soon.
My brother used to keep all kinds of critters in the freezer for future taxidermy projects.
i mentally and physically challenged friend of my moms had meat in her freezer for so long that it turned green while frozen …apparently shed buy tons of food and be so stingy shed never use it …
My freezers have always been well-behaved, thank you, but Mom’s has hosted her glasses, a comb belonging to my niece (the kind you leave in your hair as decoration) and several knives (at different times). One time that she was musing about buying one of the large freezers we chorused “hell no!” on account of the risk that it might end up containing her; simply the fact that all four* of her children thought “oh hell, no, knowing her she’ll manage to fall in” already tells you that it wasn’t just our feverish imagination: it could in fact have happened.
All four of my maternal uncles were bakers, as was my grandfather. Each High Holy Day my youngest uncle had brought my mother a honey cake. Being diabetic, she just stashed each one in the back of the freezer. After she passed, I was cleaning out the freezer, and discovered 9 honey cakes.
Don’t ask about her spices.
