A human foot found on coast of British Columbia, 6th this year

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 23:31:02 -0500

A human foot encased in a running shoe was found along the shorelines of the Strait of Georgia, southwest of Vancouver. This is the second foot encased in a running shoe found this week and the sixth within a year.

Authorities say they haven't reached any conclusions about the origin of the feet but are working to determine if there are any links to any other partial remains recovered in the province.

"Too my knowledge, we have not encountered anything like this," RCMP spokeswoman Annie Linteau told The Associated Press Wednesday evening. She declined to speculate if foul play was involved.

Update: Turns out the 6th foot found was a hoax. It turned out to be an animal paw that was placed in a sock and athletic shoe that was stuffed with dried seaweed. Link [via]

Officers rushed to the house and found a 58-year-old unemployed woman hiding in an unused closet, where she had secreted a mattress and plastic drink bottles, the Asahi said. Police suspect she may have been there for several months, the paper said.

Nursing Home Cat Can See Dead People

Thu, 26 Jul 2007 18:21:23 -0500

Oscar the Cat seems to sense when residents of the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center are in their last two hours of death. He has been at the besdside of more than 25 residents before their deaths.

"It's not that the cat is consistently there first," Dr. Joan Teno, a professor of community health at Brown University, who sees patients in the unit. "But the cat always does manage to make an appearance, and it always seems to be in the last two hours."

Raised at the nursing home since he was a kitten, Oscar often checks in on residents, but when he curls up for a visit, physicians and nursing home staff know it's time to call the family.

"I don't think this is a psychic cat," said Teno. "I think there's probably a biochemical explanation," she said in a telephone interview.

Can you imagine the fear the residents are feeling when they see that cat coming? "I'm coming for you next, pops. Meow." Yikes.

Stock your guest bathroom with these 'hand' soaps and freak your guests out. Some people may think these soaps are cute, but the baby hands are creeping me out! I'm just thankful they don't make dollhead soaps.

Woofers, Creepy alternative to obnoxious audio equipment

Wed, 25 Oct 2006 10:20:26 -0500

Do you have speakers that are so obnoxiously big that they are an eye-sore when you have company over? Here is a creepy $756 alternative that shows off your speakers in an artistic and unusual way. Woofers are speakers that are designed in the shape of a dog with the head cut off.

I don't know, I think we'll stick with the speakers we have. Dogs without heads are a little too creepy for me.
