My parents once bought a vacation house at a lake that had the exact same thing -- a clawfoot tub sunken into the floor. It was on the first floor, and if you went down to the basement there was the underside of the tub hanging down below the ceiling. It was simply resting on its own lip; the legs had been removed. We never did find out how it got that way, and eventually they remodeled the bathroom into something more normal. Not hard to get out of if you are a person who can sit on the floor and stand back up again.
