The human feet that routinely wash ashore in the Pacific Northwest

Fuego used to post about these a while back, I couldn't find an old thread so it must've been on our old forum...


The 15th human foot in a decade washed up in Washington State. Don't be alarmed.

-2019 began with the 15th human foot in a decade to wash ashore on the shores of the Salish Sea in the Pacific Northwest.

Beachgoers found the foot ensconced in a boot at the south end of Jetty Island in Everett, Washington, on New Year's Day. No other human remains were found.

Last week, the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office reported that the foot belonged to Antonio Neill. He was 22 years old when his family reported him missing in December 2016.

It follows a report from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in May that a man found a lone right foot wearing a hiking boot wedged between logs on Gabriola Island near Vancouver.

The year before that, a foot wearing a black velcro athletic shoe with the tibia and fibula still attached that was found in December along a different beach in British Columbia. That foot was traced to Stanley K. Okumoto, who was 79 when he went missing in September 2017.

It turns out that severed feet washing up on this coastline is, in fact, A Thing. It's been a source of fascination for Canadians, Americans, and the media for years. It even has a dedicated Wikipedia page. The British Columbia Coroners Service, the people you call if you happen upon a disembodied foot, even put together this handy map, though it doesn't include the latest find:...

Man that's a long story. I just started skimming after a while.

Did they ever consider a ship or boat sinking?
