Human foot found in shoe on Vancouver Island beach
The Canadian Press ^ | February 10, 2016

Posted on 02/10/2016 7:08:17 PM PST by ConservativeStatement

The foot is the 13th to wash up on B.C.'s coastline since 2007 and 10 of those feet have been identified as belong to seven people.

The coroner says that in all of the cases where feet have been identified either accident or suicide was involved.

Sooke RCMP and the Coroner are investigating. It is too early to say if the situation is suspicious, police said.

Disembodied feet come ashore occasionally on B.C.’s coast.

I was in Porto Novo on the border with Nigeria about to enter and met a guy coming into Benin and he told me not to go. I asked him why and he said: “There were bodies on the side of the road, all over. All were missing something. A hand, a foot, a nose, a breast. He said that voodoo is rampant and they use the parts for ceremonies.”

I also learned that the Christian missions are really just places where people go to for t-shirts and stuff. Voodoo is the main religion.

And there is a town in Benin name Vodum, where Voodoo originated. I went there.

I’m not saying you are wrong, it would seem plausible, I guess. But how come these stories seem to come from the same area? I mean if everyone who is lost/drowned/disposed of at sea wearing shoes has their feet preserved, why does the media only pick it up in one area? Or has there been stories of feet in shoes being discovered all along and it’s just reported as ‘body parts’ or something? Are these feet all wearing a specific type of shoe or something?

No, the best headline was “Headless Body Found at Topless Bar.”

New York Post, naturally. They had the best headline writers.

drowning, wearing a running-type shoe that floats. Body comes apart, foot floats away inside floaty shoe?

...

Or sharks don’t like the taste of feet.

Here are two articles that explain it better than I did. Just sad all around.

So from that it seems that this is happening in many areas where the particular current takes buoyant, air-Jordan type sneakers of suicides to shores where they are found.

Do any of the shoes match? Inquiring minds, you know.

“It is too early to say if the situation is suspicious, police said.

The casual acceptance of ‘disembodied feet’ is absurd. Anyone know of another place on earth where feet wash up on shore? I think not.

The rest of the body was found, wearing a wet suit, in the ash-covered area recently devastated by a forest fire. ;’)

Hah! Reminded me of the story a few years ago of the scuba diver found dead in a tree in, I think, CA after a large fire had been put out. Officials concluded he had been picked up by probably a helicopter or plane scooping water to drop on the fires.

Yeah, that’s where I plucked it, I don’t think that’s actually ever happened, one of those so-called urban myth, would make a great idea for the X-Files though...
