Fifth Floating Foot Found (Say that 3 times)
June 19th, 2008
A human foot was discovered partially submerged in the water near Westham Island in Ladner, B.C.
It’s the fifth human foot police have found in the province in less than a year.
A couple out for a walk spotted a shoe floating in the water and called police. Turns out it was someone’s left foot.
Four right feet, each wearing a sock and sneaker, have also been found in the province since August.
A woman’s right foot was found on the in May, not far where police found the fifth foot Monday. And three other men’s right feet washed up in the Gulf Islands between Vancouver and Vancouver Island… in August, 2 feet were discovered on Gabriola and Jedediah islands and, in February, another foot was found on Valdes Island.
Is there a CSI Canada?

The sixth foot found turned out to be a hoax - A forensic pathologist and an anthropologist have examined the shoe and remains, and determined a skeletonised animal paw was inserted into the shoe with a sock and packed with dried seaweed.
Here’s the story about the sixth foot, it was indeed a hoax: http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/News/2008/06/19/5927881.html
Either that or some poor freak bastard that was born with a hooved foot.
…probably from West Virginia.
