This is just too wierd:


Yet another severed foot has washed ashore in British Columbia.

RCMP in Richmond are investigating the discovery of a severed foot on uninhabited Kirkland Island in the Fraser River on Thursday.

This foot is the fourth in a string of mysterious feet that have washed ashore on B.C.'s beaches.

The first three washed up in the Gulf Islands. In August, two size 12 feet were discovered on Gabriola and Jedediah Islands, and a third foot was found in February on Valdez Island.

The first three were all right feet, and all were in sneakers.

Police have not revealed if this latest discovery was a right foot or a left foot, but police said it was in a shoe.

RCMP Cpl. Nycki Basra of Richmond said this is one of the strangest cases she has heard of.

"Well for us its our first time. In my 12 years of service this is the first time I've seen it," she said.

Police have yet to determine if this latest foot is connected to any of the other severed feet, but Basra said Richmond RCMP will look at the similar files as part of their investigation. Police are working to determine from whom, and from where, the foot came, Basra said. It could be the result of a suicide, an accident, or foul play.

"if the latest foot is connected to the other feet"

A statement that just should never be made in regards to severed feet. You have to be kidding me. A rash of severed feet? That is seriously freaky....
