The strange phenomenon of shoes; and human feet, washing up on the Pacific Northwest Coasts.

I’m all for influencers being influencers, but copyright claims… I wrote a Medium article on my Historical True Crime Blog (link) on the Salish Sea Foot mystery and I’m getting ripped off by various influencers and famous publications.

By the way, the article I’m linking is National Geographic. I tried to contact them many times about this but it has gone nowhere.
