Half a human foot found floating in a river - and it was still in its shoe
Yellowstone National Park spotted part of a foot in a shoe, floating in a hot spring on Thursday (July 18), according to officials.The discovery of the partial foot occurred on Tuesday (August 16) at Abyss Pool which led to the temporary closure of the West Thumb Geyser Basin as well as its parking lot, however the area has since reopened since the incident.Park spokesperson Morgan Warthin said there was no additional information that was to be made public on Thursday regarding the investigation.READ MORE:School PE teacher loses leg in 'freak accident' in her garden during stormAbyss Pool is situated on the south side of the southern loop through Yellowstone National Park and is 53ft (16m) deep and the temperature stands at a scorching 140F (60C).According to the park's website, superheated water in hot springs cools as it reaches the surface, sinks and is replaced by hotter water from below as the circulation prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to set off an eruption like happens with geysers in the park.While there is still much to find out about this investigation and just how part of a foot, still inside a shoe, was found in a Yellowstone hot spring, the national park has been chock-full of mysteries and controversies over the years, including a stretch of the park where murder is essentially legal.The park is located mostly in Wyoming an extends into Montana and Idaho.To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.Reminiscent of The Purge movie where all crime is legal for one night of the year, Tom Scott, a YouTuber, visited the Yellowstone National Park that contains an isolated 50-square meter stretch of park called the "Zone of Death".The
