On this day in 2008, a severed foot was found by police washed up on a beach in Vancouver, Canada.
The foot is the fifth to be found by police since August 2007 on the same stretch of beach. The first two feet washed up in August, the third in February 2008 and the fourth in May 2008. Of the five feet, majority had running shoes on.
In 2010, at least 10 feet had been found between Vancouver and Washington State in the U.S.A. What is possibly the most interesting thing however, is that it is still unknown as to where the feet came from or why they appeared on the beach. Several conspiracy theories have perpetuated including that the feet belonged to mafia victims, 2004 Asian tsunami victims or people missing from a 2005 plane crash.
I think my favourite is the mafia victims one. That just seems so police/crime television show or film worthy.
Can you imagine walking along that beach and then coming across a shoe with a cut off foot in it? A cut off foot?
