Hey there, DETECTIVES! DETECTIVE WRITER here to tell you all about a mystery that has creeped the heck out of the coast of the Salish sea surrounding British Columbia and Washington, USA – severed feet and a lot of them.
Yes, you have heard that right: at least 30 human feet have been located nearby since August 20th, 2007. The most recent discovery was on January 1st, 2019 on Jetty Island in Everett, Washington when people found a boot with a foot inside it.
You may find this hard to believe, but ever since 1887 in Vancouver, human feet have been strangely appearing throughout decades, leading to the area where the foot was found to be called Leg-In-Boot Square.
According to local authorities, the feet have been a mix of individuals who have unfortunately taken their lives or passed away in accidents; therefore, detaching the feet from the bodies while decomposing. However, some individuals with missing feet have been identified while some have not and remain unknown. 13 out of 15 feet have been officially identified in British Columbia.
Although, there have been a few controversies with the circumstances, including a hoax after June 18th, 2008, in Vancouver Island, after an animal paw was found stuffed in a sock with dried seaweed. On August 31st, 2011, in Oak Beach, British Columbia, multiple running shoes were found with raw meat inside of them after another foot was discovered in Vancouver, making it the 11th. Why do you believe so many feet have been found in these two locations? Why there? Why mainly feet and not other parts of the human body? What do you think, DETECTIVES?
