Three human feet are washing ashore on remote west coast Canadian beaches over the last six months. The last foot washed ashore on Valdez Island, and all have been found on separate islands along the Strait of Georgia.
No identifications have been made, and the 2 previous feet were found wearing tennis shoes. “Running shoes are quite buoyant,” said Mr. Ebbesmeyer, who is completing a book, “The Floating World,” to be published by HarperCollins. “They would tend to encase a foot and keep it floating. A body comes apart naturally; it’s called disarticulation. The head usually comes off first. The parts of the body that are protected will last the longest. The shoe usually floats soles up, so that might prevent the seabirds from pecking at it.”
The feet could be from crash victims, drowning victims a serial killer or maybe just a prank.
