This must be the most hilarious, yet accurate video title ever. I shouldn’t laugh but it’s just too good of a title. I applaud you for this gem.
Yeah, I'm pretty proud of myself.
@@SomewhereSinister as you rightfully should be. After some initial confusion, a couple minutes into the video it clicked and cracked me up real hard. It’s genius and the first thing that has made me laugh in the last couple of days. So, a genuine thank you not only for all your great content and hard work, but also for making me laugh. Much appreciated, cheers!
@@SomewhereSinister Chef's 💋, sir.
I didn’t get it until halfway through when I happened to glance down at my phone and see the title of the video. 😆
Brilliant!!!!
Just when we thought we'd 'seen it all', you've rescued us from our listlessness and broken the cycle of repetitive content on every channel, by creating a unique theme with content completely new to our ears! After your intro setting-up the story, in the following pause before the title opening, I know I'm not alone in this...I say out loud, "This is Monsters". Just like I do when watching Monsters, I find it amusing to predict and sync it perfectly. You do a terrific job entertaining our darker curiosities and I can't wait to see what you have for us next!
Yessir!
Yes, well said 👏🏿 👍🏽
Didn't say it but I definitely heard him say it (even though he didn't)😅
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Correct!!
A friend of mine lives on a river popular for rafting and swimming. He regularly dives on Monday mornings to collect the wallets, phones, expensive sunglasses, etc lost by the weekend rafters/partiers. Once he found a body snagged on a tree underwater. That's the stuff of nightmares, imo... Great video Jiles!!
I was in a relationship with a guy whos dad had a floating company and during the summer we would go down there and work... Driving the shuttle bus, putting people in, taking people out, throwing canoes and occasionally floating a couple miles downstream to retrieve floaters that got too drunk and missed the out. Lol. Your friend is spot on about the diving after the weekenders leave. We would usually wait till the end of the season and do the float ourselves, like a final clean up, stopping at all the sand bars making sure we've got all of our boats, life jackets, paddles, collecting trash and the last thing we would do before we moved on to the next Sandbar is go over the entire thing with the metal detector. It really is mind-blowing the amount of stuff people lose/leave behind on float trips and even more mind-blowing is the things people take with them and then lose or forget and behind on float trips! Like what possessed you to bring your great grandfather's pocket watch along????? 🧐🤪
Luckily we never came across a body. And I'm still a complete River rat and go floating any chance I get even if it's just for a couple hours by myself and my kayak. But I'm also in Missouri and the river I worked on in the river I float on though there are two different Rivers their makeup is about the same being as they don't have much of occurrence they stay pretty shallow and average about 4 ft and the water is crystal clear. These Rivers eventually flow into the Mississippi. No one floats the Mississippi. it's deep, relentless, unforgiving, and unpredictable. Barges have trouble in the Mississippi. But a lot of these Rivers will flow into the Mississippi via the Merimac River and people do float that there are a handful of campgrounds that offer floating on it and people say that the areas that you float on it are calm and shallow and low current but I beg to differ and I will never float on it personally. (I call it a "fun-size Mississippi") there's been several times bodies/body parts have been found either snagged or washed ashore. And not so much recently but in the past it was not uncommon for bodies to show up in the Mississippi and they would actually get caught on barges more often than not. When that does happen and a body shows up in the Mississippi and it can be identified a lot of times they'll find out that the body entered the Mississippi via an overflow River. (Like the Meramec)
Sorry about the novel of a comment.
Also I'm curious as to what state and River your friend has the float business in?
@@MusicLeeSarah Sounds like fun! He just lives on the river where people raft, the American River in Sacramento., CA. When you were telling your story I thought for sure you were talking about the same area until you said Missouri, lol. I guess all over the US, people are doing the same thing, bringing the same valuable crap to go rafting and drinking and losing it all in our waterways! I used to live in San Antonio and we did it there too at Stinky Falls on the Guadalupe. The one place we never floated-- I like your term better than "rafting" which sounds a little vigorous for literally floating along so I'm going with it-- we never floated in Alabama. Too many water moccasins and gators and it's just too hot. The deep south is like the Australia of the US. Well, thanks for sharing and the new term for an old pastime! Happy floating!
I've heard this before. Nothing new here.
So did he get to keep it?
@@MusicLeeSarah which river are you on? Buffalo? White river? I am Ozark, moved her a few years ago from Louisiana.
The comment about cold water keeping bodies from floating made me think of Lake Superior. I hope you have plans to cover the lake that doesn't give up her dead!
Can't wait til he gets to the Great Lakes region!!
The police immediately knew something was afoot. At first they thought it was a lifeguard turned serial killer but they didn't have a leg to stand on. Needless to say the community was kept on their toes until an explanation was offered.
footloose perhaps?
John, you’re nothing but a heel.
You’re making jokes when someone died? I’m no bootlicker but, jog on guys..
@@stephaniecoomey2356 your comment made me feel like a heel.
@@paddlefaster that’s a tall order
I am so loving this new series. Just like with Monsters you do a tremendous amount of work and I hope everyone listening knows that. Thank You!
110% in agreement.
Both series are phenomenal and he is so underrated.. absolutely love his passion and absolute regard to the victims.. ❤️
That's exactly why I listen to his channels the most. His research makes it the best!!
Agree! So much work goes into a single episode and most people don't realize it.
This is consistently great quality content even though it's a secondary channel. I love it! 👍
The Melissa Caddick story is still ongoing here in Australia. Just last week they sold off her corruptly acquired luxury vehicles.
I was born in Campbell River and have lived on Vancouver Island my entire life. It’s nice to be recognized! Even if it’s for *sigh* disembodied feet…
Being a resident of the Pacific Northwest, I was familiar with the “found footage” stories that began appearing some years ago. Your amazing coverage of this story answered so many questions, so thanks for your research, as well as your writing skills and wit. I just discovered you and will be binging the PNW playlist, then moving on to your other content. Very impressive, you!
Thank you for the time you put into these, both series. We especially love when your sarcasm. It’s hard to believe people do these things and the degree of carelessness and incredible lies they tell. Anyway thanks
Moral of the story- if you see a shoe at the beach make someone else go look in it.
Whenever I’m in a lake, I think about morbid things like, “how many people have drowned and never been found in this same lake.” I hate this about myself.
I think the same thing. Dead animals too... the fact that I'm sharing water with gross things. Only in lakes tho... never oceans.
There's nothing wrong with being a curious and inquisitive person. It's a positive way to be, not negative. It means you are intelligent.
I agree with the comment above me.
Don’t hate yourself for thinking like that.
Weird cuz whenever Im in a lake I think about how many people I could murder and sink to the bottom with concrete blocks and then fish every week without getting my lines caught on the bodies or on the blocks, I'm sure everyone thinks about that but Im just sayin....
Thanks guys, it’s just so… morbid of me.
Your new channel is awesome! Thank you for sharing your time with us!
There was this older fellow who came with his wife from California to visit our Oregon coast last fall. 2021
He thought he was young and strong enough to jump over the Devil's Churn, but went in the water instead, as his wife watched.
His body has not been found.
I'm curious if any of the people, and children who go missing off our beaches end up going north into this vortex you speak of.
Not many of the bodies that go in, come back onto the shores here.
A young Dad and I think 2 kids were swept away a couple years ago and have not been found. Very sad!
Interesting stuff!
Thanks!
If it's the case I've just found while researching, his body was found recently.
@@jace9985 Really? I haven't seen or heard anything about it in my local news, as I am local to this area. Tell me more, could ya??
I recall the dad and 2 kids. Caught in a riptide. I also know a woman who lost 2 children in a riptide at Ocean Shoes. I like to look at the ocean but not play in the water. It's too cold anyway.
I'm already hooked to these videos, as well as to This Is Monsters. Thank you!
Despite having lived in the Seattle area and still having friends in Seattle, somehow I did not know about this. Thanks! Delightful puns, as well, for those of us who don't mind bad taste. Glad I, um, stumbled across it!
I love this new channel/series! Thank you so much for the historical and educational entertainment, on both!
I freaking love your intro music. Gets me feeling all sinister like. :) Keep up your hard work!
Every time I took my kids out fishing on the Mississippi River, up here by St.Louis, I would remind them to watch the water for bodies. Since around 1989 or so, I call in a body in the river about every 2-1/2 - 3 years. But, I’m a River Rat. I’m out there a lot…….
Woah!
@@commonsense571 There is a good and a bad side to everything. That river is beautiful, but she will chew you up and spit you out without hesitation.
That's insane !
@@low-keyrighteous9575 And to think, I fish above St.Louis and East St.Louis…..lol.
Found FOOTage... love it
I didn't know that some of the feet found had turned out to be matched pairs, in some cases. I thought that all the feet that were found were one foot per individual.
I've been sub'd since before your first video was posted here. I really enjoy this new channel! ✌😎🤘
I just have to say bravo for this episode title. My family lives in this area and I knew what the subject would be as soon as I saw the location.
Great video, very intresting. the photos and cinematography is beckoning me to take another trip to the pacific northwest. Simply beautiful.
I love this, we have been following the shoes for a long time. We live just north of Seattle and are outdoorsy. I love these stories. I hope we never stumble across anything too sinister on our weekly visits to Puget Sound.
Maybe WE will stumble across YOU (insert evil laugh).
Oh Shit, I just finally got the "found footage" reference. I have had a severe head cold for the last two days and also have slept a total combined 2 hours in the same amount of time so that's my defence. LMFAO !!! I think the delayed gratification of just having the proverbial lightbulb finally pop on makes it even funnier cuz I'm still smiling. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I reckon it’s not just currents and streams that makes feet in tennis shoes wash up on American and Canadian beaches, it’s also the fact that Americans and Canadians wear tennis shoes all year round. Typically, the Australians wear leather shoes in the (short) winter and flip-flops 🩴 the rest of the year. Europeans wear leather shoes too with sandals or flip flops in the summer, etc. My point is, feet would get out of flip flops and sandals and leather will decompose just like flesh… whereas the bus shoes take much longer to decompose + being lighter, they indeed come up to the surface.
Thank you! I live on Vancouver Island and this was and still is such a strange mystery.
What a beautiful and strange map of Vancouver Island.
This was a CRAZY CRAZY STORY. ❤️❤️ LOVE LOVE your channels and your voice!
Loving the new channel Broseph! Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
I love your other channel : Monsters , and am becoming a big fan of this new one as well, nice work ! you have great narration skills !
10:20 "we all know that aliens are fascinated with what is or what has been in our rectum" I'm crying LOL
I just noticed, during the intro at 0:44 is the passage under the Poniatowski bridge in Warsaw, Poland. Sadly, nothing sinister about it as I crossed it countless times and always made it out alive.
Love ur work tho, stay beautiful
I'm glad to see this channel added to the This is Monsters line up
This is the second episode I've seen, and am enjoying this one as well as this is monsters. Keep them coming please
Omg this is SO GOOD! You're my favorite UA-camr!
Wow, fascinating. This new channel is unique, informative, and simply fascinating. All about stuff not really thought about but once you share it it becomes quite intriguing. Thank you so much for all the hard work you do for all your channels. It's very much appreciated.
Oh THAT'S why the algorithm has been recommending this! As soon as I heard your voice, it was like seeing an old friend again. lol.
Morbid thought, but kinda makes me wonder how many unidentified feet are out there floating among all the plastic in the giant pacific garbage patch.
There isn't a "great pacific garbage patch". There's a lot of plastic in the ocean but it's not floating at the top. If there was a Texas-sized mound of plastic in the ocean then you'd be able to see it on google maps
@@burstingwizard975 I wouldn't call it a "mound of plastic," but there are definitely large swaths of plastic floating at surface level. They don't stay stationary though, as many people seem to think, because they tend to follow the currents along the pacific gyre. There are plenty of photographs and/or videos taken by boats and ships that have stumbled upon sections of it, and it is not a pretty sight to say the least.
I bet you're fun at parties, too.
@@Strype13 both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans have garbage patches.
@@jannisares Free invitation to come find out, if you'd like. First two rounds on me! 👍

I remember reading about this a while back in one of the weekly papers here in Portland. Thanks for reminding me of it.
I love this channel....
Love your voice and your presentations 🌹
Very interesting story! One step at a time, your new channel is doing great! ☮️🐝safe Thank you Jiles!
I'll definitely have this video in my mind when I walk the shores of the Salish Sea and the rest of the Puget Sound 😬
Thanks for covering this, I appreciate it very much.
Thanks for watching our feet-ure. Sorry....
I had heard about this story somewhere else, but I like your style of storytelling so well that I listened to it again. I wonder if people in those areas say "Hey, wanna go look for feet?" when they are bored...
Omg, you’re my people lol! I wondered that too 🤣🤣
let’s go there together and find iut
Hey my peeps!! 🤪😜....🤔
I seriously doubt they do. At least not everyday people. I grew up on the east coast and my dad was a medic. He worked in Philly and Camden. When things were slow, they would make excursions into wooded areas, literally searching for dumped bodies. Probably some kind of workers had search for feet added to their job description precisely so they wouldn't be getting found by regular people.
I'm game.
I love your last comment. When I used to swim in Lake Erie, I would be so afraid of a dead body brushing up against me. Yikes!
What an interesting story. Excellent work as always!
The bath toys was so interesting. They made it everywhere. Yellow ducky gets mad respect!
So sad because there are so many of them. Bless all their souls.
I’m loving this series
I live in Everett, WA and frequent the local beaches. Sometimes when I’m walking, I remember the feet and wonder if one day I’ll come upon something.
Same here. I live near Port Townsend.
Excellent work. For the fist several minutes, I was thinking, "when are we going to get to the video someone discovered? I mean, the title of this is 'Found Foot-'oh. Right."
Been following this story for years as I'm a BC resident. Had no idea the extent to which it has been solved. Seems like the media enjoy leaving us hanging...thank dog You don't.
Hello from Auburn, WA! Love the content!! Would love some more stories of the PNW area
This was a fantastic video! Your reasearch and write-up was excellent! Thank you!!!
Can't even picture being on the beach with other people. I like the solo walk, the ocean ions, and peaceful ebb & flow vibe.
As someone who lives on the Salish Sea, I have heard of so many feet turning up. It's one of those local things. People drown up here all the time and always have. Sometimes it takes a while to get their feet back on the ground. As soon as you started talking I had to smile. Thanks Jiles!
I lived on the Salish Sea and whenever I came across a shoe on the beach, I paused for a second 😬 coolest thing I found though was mammoth bits. My neighbor found a First Nation humerus
Oh my gosh your final question in this episode! 👀 Ack! Really great episode!
I remember hearing about this and then all news stopped covering it after a while. This was a cool video, and I loved your explanation about aliens lmaoo I may never swim in any of the Great Lakes again because who really knows who's swimming with you haha Excellent job!
Crime is always just a few feet away...
Eye also see what you did there, lol 🤣
Accidents though even more commonn
Usually I watch intros once on series and then skip them. This one I absolutely love! Very good work-as is evident in both your channels.
Hi Jiles👋🏻,
Fellow Monsters👋🏻,
And Sinister friends👋🏻
Thank you for the upload!!!
Jiles, I'm about to give you a new nickname...
Cassius Clay.
You're knockin content out all over the internet and you make it look easy.
Legit, I really love this new channel and content!!! The true crime genre is full of amazing content and amazing content creators but I feel like lately it's been a little monotonous.
I knew i was waiting for something and I wasn't sure what it was, but I knew when it came along I would recognize it. Somewhere Sinister is it!
🙏🙏🙏💛💛💛
Wow. First time here. Very thorough and well done. Thank you!👟
HA! Clever! I trained as a search and recovery diver. You don't even want to know how many bodies are in all the water you love to swim in.
“The hoax was of poor enough taste that the authorities wanted to find who was involved” is a great way to put it.
I thought it was amusing, only after the authorities wanting to find them. Call that morbid or not idc but that particular detail had me smirking.
It's because that area is one of the only places cold enough that beach goers wear running shoes and boots.
I literally screamed when I saw this episode drop lol love you guys/channel, ok now I wanna pay attention shhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Jiles!! Just like This is Monsters I am so loving Somewhere Sinister 💜 Thank you so so much for all your hard work 💜
I only do the audio here. Erik does the video. He's the ying to my yang.
@@SomewhereSinister hahaha Thank you Erik for all of your hard work too 💜💜
Fabulous, another great Sinister. Great research - very interesting about why the feet, and why so many wash up there. Plus the stuff about the currents and all those rubber animals. I'm amazed at how far they went.
So so sad!!😔😔 I hope the souls are at rest & the families of these lost souls can find healing.
Dude !! I’m already terrified of water & right at end you plant a new seed in my fragile mind ….
I’m British & can remember this being reported in our news papers .. absolutely bizarre & fascinating .. loved it & thanks for all your work to enlighten us . 👊🏻🥸👍🏻
I'm also afraid of water. Big time thalassophobia. This was a horrifying episode to work on.
@@SomewhereSinister wow you learn me so much … so that’s the name for it ..
I love your delivery of such horrible events in your monsters channel too . I’ve worked in youth justice for 14 years but recently left …. Chewed up en spat out kind of scenario.. I think I get a lot out of your work & it helps me somehow put some stuff to bed …
It’s a very hard world & I got a lot out of trying to make a difference but lost faith in justice & that I was actually making a positive difference… if you don’t believe in the job anymore it’s tough … there is that much that needs to change & your justice system also blows my mind …
Thanks so much for replying & I opened it Saturday night & it really cheered me up en then teenage kids took over & I wanted to thank you properly so it took till now ..
take care & I will keep watching until there aren’t any dark stories to tell … 👊🏻😘👍🏻
❤️🇺🇦❤️🇺🇦❤️🇺🇦❤️😭🇺🇦❤️🇺🇦❤️🇺🇦
You have that wonderful gift of humor and excellent storytelling. Hearing tc is hard enough, it's a good thing to add humor when possible.
The story of those floating toys is fascinating! The book is called Moby Duck.
That's exactly why I don't swim anywhere , except in my own pool . The fear of what's in the water great work on this channel
Well done! I'm loving your new channel ❤
Found FOOTage, ...this is gold!
I see what you did there...Found foot-age LOL. love your style/humor subbed over here as well. Nice pipes to boot!
Thank you kindly!
I remember when one was found in port angeles and everyone thinking there was a serial killer. Clallam county’s sheriff was quick to shut that idea down. I didn’t realize they were still finding them. Been years since i heard anything about one being found
A young woman drowned in Lake Crescent 2 years ago and they have not found her yet. A bartender who worked at one of the resorts there (still there) was murdered by her boyfriend and he wrapped her in some rug material or carpet and tied it with rope and lowered her into the lake. She came to the surface years later and she was almost perfectly preserved due to the coldness of the deep lake. She was wearing the same clothes as nothing had deteriorated. They caught him in CA and he only did 9 years for her murder. Look up "The Lady of the Lake". I am sure that's the name of the book I bought at said resort where she had worked. There's much about it online. I live near Port Townsend.
@@laswans.2968 Hallie Illingsworth. Her husband was an abusive ladies man. He was arrested in california after her body surfaced. My family all comes from pa and pt. My grandmother gave me the small book on her years ago. There’s also supposed to be one of Israel Keyes victims still in the lake somewhere.
@10:22 I laughed till I cried. Thank you for throwing that tidbit in there. Keep up the great work. Love your channels.
Great video. I grew up taking the ferry from anacortez washington (near Widbey Island and oak harbor out to my uncle’s place on Friday Harbor. The ferry would stop at other islands like Orcas, and Cortez. I loved going there. After my two cousins grew up and were out on their own, my uncle and aunt moved to Vermont, where they live now still.
Thank you for recharging my memory with this video.
Great job as always!
You have the perfect narration voice!!!
Honestly, feet litter is the worst. Damn vandals.
Lmao
I have watched all these new videos twice now lol. I just freaking love your channels man. Peace and love dude
I like the new venue.keep up the good work from Tampa Florida.
Guess I'm gonna have to sew a luggage tag in my shoes from now on ... just wanted n case the airline loses their me of my feet 😳 🙄 😂
Really enjoyed this LOL! Great title. I do like how near the end you state certain bodies of water as possibly being places where you might be swimming with corpses but left out any of the bodies of water in the PNW. Nobody local swims off of the OR and WA coasts lol!! It's too cold.
I just realized you have another channel! Excited for a marathon!! I feel so much smarter after having learned about this “footage”.. cute! Very cute!
There's more to the the Melissa story, I don't think she's dead, she seemed way to selfish to do that. Also, the morning she woke up to go for her daily jog, the same day as her disappearance, there is no camera footage of her at all from her home, or neighbours security cameras, that show she actually went on that jog. There are many who believe she'd have had her own foot cut off, just to get away with the crime of stealing millions to fund her and her husbands lifestyle.
I just found this channel from one of your others - I love your content. Keep up the great work.
Salish-Sidhe was the name of the Pacific Northwest nation in the fictional Shadowrun world. “Sidhe” is pronounced “shthee” or “sithee,” and is the ancient name for the fair folk, aka: elves.
i love how your straight to the story and your new channel!
You kept this little gem quiet oh yeh I love this !!
"Disarticulation" explained by a very articulate young man.
The story about the toys is kind of adorable.
Agree. It’s like little bundles of joy spreading out to reach every kid around the world
You’re covering my region. Idk why but that’s exciting to me
subbed as soon as i recognized the voice, always great work.
Instant subscribe! Loved your work in Monsters.
Great channel, keep up the good work!
Great channel, once again, thank you man.
