Mine does the same thing. But I've recently discovered that the back of my washer is mystical portal to the land of Narnia. Unfortunately only socks can go through, it's not big enough for humans.

I have been investigating this phenomena for the last twenty or so years and have been unable to come to any feasible conclusion on the subject.
Every 2 years or so I throw away the odd sock collection that I accumulate only to find afterwards that some of them mysteriously appear again....mmmmm...it is most curious.
I did conclude at one time that it was down to the various family members not entering a complete pair of socks into the wash, but I have had to rule out this theory. I myself pair my socks off together before putting them into the wash and only separate them previous to putting them in the washing machine. However I have myself on occasion had a deficit of socks...therefore I have had to conclude that there must be real live sock monster that visits on occasions.
I have to just leave it at that since after so many years investigating and still being unable to come up with a plausible answer...hangs head in shame....I would like to leave this life with a certain level of sanity.....I hope this saves you the years that it has cost me...xx

before i do laundry, i take a group photo of all the socks headed for the washing machine.
that way i can still cherish the memory of those who have gone on into the great washing machine void. may they all be reunited in sock heaven!

I think there is a conspiracy with all washing machines. They don't want us to have 2 socks.

It's not actually your washing machine so stop blaming it. In reality it's the borrowers ,small people who live beneath your floorboards. They steal them and use them for coal sacks. Got to run the man with the straight jacket just came in.

It's not the machine, it's the socks, they're always trying to escape.

'tis the prefered food of the hidden sock monster
it thrives on odd socks - it would be considered VERY rude in the etiquette of sock monsters to eat a PAIR of socks - pardon my french!

it's not only your machine...mine does it too, have you tried putting the single sock in the wash and see if the mate comes back, or if it disappears too?
