Sixth human foot found washed ashore in Canada. (Sixth!)
Posted by: Christopher in Eh?, Moose, Canada, Severed feetBackground here, here, here and here.
I had a really awesome theory about this whole severed feet being washed ashore in Canada situation, but the latest developments doesn’t mesh with my conspiracy theory. Back in May when the fourth severed foot was found, all of the feet found were men’s size 12 right feet in sneakers. I figured the discoveries were the result of some ritual initiation to a powerful secret society where the initiates couldn’t tell anyone their right foot had been severed. But what sort of secret society requires all of its members to wear size 12 shoes?
I was working on answering that question that when I read of the latest discovery, and was disappointed to hear it was a left foot size 10. So much for my secret cabal of one-footed size 12 sneaker-wearing dudes. My newest theory is a run of the mill serial killer who is abducting people and severing their feet and tossing them in the rivers for people to find. This report mentions that the latest foot appears to have been cut, which definitely sounds serial-killer-ish. Which is all fine and good, but there have been no reports of missing persons in these areas, much less persons missing feet. No reports to hospitals or anything.
BC police are clueless and have no leads in the case.

I am utterly perplexed and addicted to the floating feet story. I was trying to find updates but there isn’t really anything on the web to feed my morbid curiosity. Your blog is funny! I love the idea of the one footed secret society of left size 12 dudes. I think it makes complete sense. I think the size 10 dude was trying to join the secret size 12 society..but due to the fact he didn’t follow the size ruling, they cut off his right foot which in their society it is shameful to be missing the wrong foot. Totally do-able.
