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 content to let Canada have all the creepy foot fun, a tennis-shoe-clad, possibly human foot has washed ashore in Clallam County, Wash. A woman spotted the foot in some seaweed early Saturday monring, 14 miles south of Canadian shoreline. Clallam County police are working with Royal Canadian Mounted Police to see if there is any connection between this foot and the five that have washed ashore in British Columbia. The first of the five human feet was found last August, making this a year-long mystery--and still no end in sight.

After almost a year of mystery, the first of five severed feet found in British Columbia have been identified as belonging to a missing man. While the man's family has asked that his identity not be released to the public, Royal Canadian Mounted Police say the man was depressed and disappeared over a year ago. Which of the found feet belonged to the missing man has also not been released.

Just kidding about the sixth foot found, literally. It appears to have been a prank, rooted in that quirky Canadian sense of humor.

Now that a sixth foot has washed ashore in British Columbia and the mainstream media has picked up the story (because, five severed feet washing ashore—not national news; but half a dozen—now that's a headline!), the theories on the source of the severed feet are coming in.

I work for a newspaper in Campbell River, B.C. on Vancouver Island. Another foot was found here this morning at Tyee Spit (the second this week!).
What is up, Canada? Even if it is just some strange current from the middle of the ocean that brings your beaches severed feet...you have to admit, this is all very very strange. Time to create CSI:Canada.

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