Footprints: How did human feet get washed up on the west coast of Canada and the US?
Since 2007, more than 20 human feet have been found washed up on the west coast of Canada and the US. Celia Hatton speaks to the investigators who worked to uncover why.
In August 2007, on an island off Canada’s west coast, the remains of a human foot were found washed up on a beach.
Six days later, on another beach 50 miles away, a second foot was found. But, strangely, it doesn't match the first - they are from different people.
The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Celia Hatton travels to Vancouver to hear how more than 20 feet have been found in the area since then, and to speak to the investigators and scientists who worked to unravel the mystery of why they started appearing.
