12 Insane Documentaries Way Stranger Than Fiction
10. Finders Keepers
A man at a North Carolina auction is shocked to discover that a grill he bought has a mummified leg inside of it. The leg in question originally belonged to the seller, who lost his limb in an aeroplane crash, but had it mummified so he could keep it.
An obvious, albeit truly bizarre, mistake. But mistakes happen, you’d imagine that the leg would simply get returned, right?
Of course not, that wouldn’t make for a very entertaining documentary now would it?
The filmmakers do a good job of not out rightly laughing at the people involved, but sympathetically hearing each side of the argument. The documentary simply tells the tale of a legal battle of a two men fighting over the ownership of a severed leg, all thanks to one man’s unwavering belief of “Finders keepers”.
Rumour has it he also lives by the mantra of “Whoever smelt it, dealt it”.
