FOX: Canadian officials are investigating why a human foot washed ashore on Vancouver Island last week, marking the 13th foot to appear along the British Columbia coastline in the last 10 years, according to reports.
Mike Johns, 56, told CTV Vancouver Island News he was walking along the Jordan River on the southern part of the island Thursday when his dog made the stunning fund.
“She was sniffing the bones so I stopped and took a look, and I saw the bones and noticed it was attached to a shoe,” Johns told CTV. more here
I hate it when I’m just walking the beach and my foot just separates from my body and it just lies there on the beach. It’s embarrassing.
6 people and a one legged midget isn’t that big a count over 10 years.

“RCMP confirmed it was a human foot”. No shit? It wasn’t from a grizzly bear that wore running shoes?

Maybe it was the sole survivor of a shipwreck.
I’m sure they are trying to get to the very sole of this case, step by step, and rumor has it they are making great strides and they hope the person culpable will heel to their requests.
Bring in Muslims, severed feet wash up on shore.
Every strange thing that happens in Canada, should not be a surprise.
So that is where Dexter went after leaving Netflix!
My theory:
The North Pacific Current flows from Japan across the Pacific Ocean to the coast of British Columbia, where it splits into the California and Alaska Currents. If a person dies at sea off the eastern coast of Japan (an incident that would most likely not be reported in the Western Hemisphere), carnivorous sea life would consume most of the body. However, shoes, which fit more tightly to the body and are more resilient than most other clothing, restrict access to the portions of the body contained in them, keeping them from being readily consumed. And with a significant portion of shoes being made from foam rubber, they become buoyant once most of the body mass has been removed. At that point, they simply travel along the North Pacific Current until they reach British Columbia.
Some of the debris from the 2011 earthquake in Japan made its way to our coast. Why not shoes?
BTW, the article supposed that the shoe could have belonged to someone from Alaska or Oregon. That’s not possible, since the current flows away from British Columbia to those states, not toward it.
I’m sure there’s a perfectly innocent reason this is happening.
But I cannot think what it could be.
There are a dozen evil reasons for this.
I can imagine and believe all of them.
Wouldn’t a DNA test show the ethnic/ ancestry? I think TN above is on to something.
Maybe NK has some scruples after all. I guess they don’t eat feet.
Hey Jellybean, I wonder who the Arch Villain is?
