This is described on http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/orca.html
and the first paragraph from that is:

The orca hot foot occurred in November of 1995, at the Vancouver
aquarium orca pool. I did a yoga "mulabhanda" (deep, rooted, raspy, my
niece said mine sounds like the wind) breath near the orcas. I think the
female, Bjossa, was closest but am not sure; there were also one or two
other orcas (Finna, Hyak?) and I think one dolphin in the pool, and
belugas in a nearby pool. I got an extremely strong, almost electric
shock on my right foot, which I had to raise slightly. This is like the
stories of druids with one foot raised, I guess, though this is probably
related instead to to the yoga "tree pose" where you stand on one foot
and place the other foot high on the thigh. Also, for druids, the harp
shape may be related to the shape of cetacean bones.

Do any of you know of any similar instances in the past or
can you speculate on how the hot foot could have been
accomplished (probably by the nearest orca) by acoustics
and/or bioenergetics?

On a related note check out the whale song project on
http://whale.fm .  I visited that briefly last night and
plan to return, since, partly due to my orca hot foot,
I am interested in learning to communicate with
cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises).
