The Clallam County Sheriff has released the above photo of the shoe and sock found on an area beach Saturday morning. Remains found in the shoe were confirmed to be human, but who they came from is still unknown. If you do happen to know a guy who wore size 11 Everest hiking shoes just like this one and you haven't heard from them in a long while, you may want to contact the Clallam County police.

Not satisfied to let British Columbia have all the foot-related gruesome fun, someone decided to place sharpened metal spikes at the bottom of Green Lake. More than three dozen machine-sharpened, two- to three-foot-long metal spikes were discovered Sunday night, placed on the lake bottom around the boating center. Hey, B.C. might have its severed feet, but Seattle could have impaled ones. Warning signs have been placed around the lake and the boating center notifying swimmers and boating patrons of the spikes.

Royal Canadian Mounted police announced today that two of the five severed human feet found along the coast of British Columbia came from the same person. Who that person is or how they lost their feet is still unknown...but surely, this is a step in the right direction.

As the news of a sixth human foot appearing in the waters around Vancouver, B.C. percolates through the Interweb, we're reminded of another troubling and--we can only hope--wholly unrelated story we caught on CBC the other night. Apparently, for the last year, athletically built young men have been mysteriously disappearing around Vancouver, B.C. While the police have yet to suggest any relationship--or even foul play--between the disappearances, family members increasing see links. They've created a Facebook page (here) amongst other efforts to promote the cause of tracking these men down. But with the constant influx of feet found in coastal waters, it was inevitable that people would start trying to link the two.

Another human foot has been found floating in British Columbia. And, unlike the four before it, this one is a left foot.

Another severed human foot has washed ashore on an island in British Columbia. Surprisingly, "severed human foot" isn't the most important part of that first sentence..."another" is. Another, as in this is not the first severed human foot to wash ashore in B.C. In fact, it is the fourth severed foot that has been found since September. Just as the three feet found before it, this one still had a tennis shoe on when it was found. No word yet if it was a right foot like all the others.
