well i live in grimsby(grimsby is right next door to cleethorpes) and this is strange. nothing like this has washed up that i can remember. i know there was alot of feet washing up in the usa not long back (maybe there still is). the thing is it is the river humber and is one of the busiest shipping waters in the uk if not the world. probs it might be one of the crew of the ships that pass. as it is a river it is a few miles from the north sea so unlikely it came from there.

if you want to find out who it belongs to, organize a dance, and check the folks sitting down.

Well there is obviously something a foot here. Please keep us a breast of the situation.

One foot?

Is that all ya got?

Honestly, I was just thinking about how creepy this story is, when I remembered THIS ONE.

8 feet in 26 months...

i wonder if any more will wash upon cleethopres beach ?

Wasnt there a few body parts found washing ashore on beaches in Scotland not too long ago?. The Humber runs through a few 'dodgy' places, looks like someones been feeding the fishes.

I remember hearing about body parts washing up on beach shores in Canada. Here's an article on that, LINK.

did they ever find out what was happing there and where the feet came from ?

The article gave a few opinions as to where they could of come from.

Organised crime, boating accidents - even the 2004 Asian tsunami - are all being offered as possible solutions, our correspondent says.

more info on the story.....

It's weird that it's always feet. And so many of them.
Do they float better, or do the creatures that are eating people parts just spit them out?

Feet apparently survive better that other body parts in water, it's pretty easy to see why, say someone drowns, the foot ware is the most substantial bit of clothing (usually, I'm thinking walking boots as opposed to high heels)... So it is likely to weather the processes that happen to the body and break it down like tidal action and animals better.

Clearly someone is missing a foot, most likely a dead person. Hopefully there is a missing persons report that can be matched to DNA and the relation's can be informed.
