A friend posted these on Facebook. Ghost apples are formed when freezing rain coats a rotting apple. When the rotten apple falls out, only the ice is left.

How does this work?
Later, it was just warm enough to allow the encased apples to take on some of that water and turn into a mush. “When I pruned a tree it would be shaken in the process, and the mush would slip out of the bottom of the ‘ghost apple’,” he explained. “Most apples just fell off, ice and all. But quite a few would leave a cool ‘ghost apple’ behind.”
