Somewhere out there are five bodies missing right feet.

The small Canadian island village of Gabriola has been thoroughly creeped out by a morbid discovery — make that, discoveries: five shoe-encased feet that have washed up on its normally peaceful shores over the past year…

While police have DNA’d the severed appendages, they have no matches. Or clues.

Oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer told reporters that disarticulated feet occasionally pop up in the oceans, since rotting bodies tend to fall apart at the joints. Rubber sneakers keep them afloat, sole-side up.

But where are the bodes that come with the feet? And why are they all right feet?

No one knows, but the Worldwide Scoop will keep you posted when we find out more.
