In 2004, John Wood had his left leg amputated after a single-engine plane crash that left him badly injured. He somehow convinced the doctors to let him keep the leg (!!!!!), he mummified it\\u2014yes MUMMIFIED IT\\u2014and eventually put it in a storage locker. In 2007 Shannon Whisnant unwittingly bought the leg when he purchased the contents of John\\u2019s storage locker after months of unpaid rent. Shannon\\u2014who should have been horrified\\u2014saw the leg as a money-making opportunity. He branded himself \\u201cThe Leg Man\\u201d and tried to turn the leg into a tourist attraction. After learning what had become of his leg (HIS LEG, YOU GUYS), John decided to try to get it back. And the most ridiculous and disgusting custody battle the world has ever known was born.
