The macabre mystery surrounding severed feet that keep washing ashore in the Pacific Northwest was renewed this week when yet another of the bizarre body parts was found along a beach in Washington state. The grim discovery was reportedly made by beachgoers visiting a site known as Jetty Island on Tuesday afternoon. No doubt aghast by what they had stumbled upon, they promptly called police, who arrived on the scene to collect a work boot which still contained the foot of its owner.
Although authorities are still waiting for official confirmation from a medical examiner as to whether or not it is a genuine human foot, it's probably a safe bet that it is, since it wouldn't be the first time that such a strange discovery had been made in the region. The odd phenomenon began back in 2007 when two right feet were found over the course of a week on a beach in British Columbia and, since that time, there has been a steady and somewhat unsettling wave of severed body parts turning up on beaches in the area with seemingly one new entry being added to the creepy collection every year.
