This code is being generated in your header, which is causing the phantom footer. If you haven’t edited your header.php this code must be generated by a plugin. Disable all plugins and see if it goes away. I’m not sure which plugin you have installed but it is possible for the footer to show up even if the Google Friends Connect Widget is not active, it all depends on the plugin.

Thanks Nick, that did the trick! Seems I had previously set up a GFC plugin that never worked well, I removed it and the ghost footer went away.
Again, thank you for the help.
