The account
Her husband George and others reported large footprints that crossed a field and went up into the mountains, and said the creature had overturned a barrel of salted fish. The story became a classic of Sasquatch literature through John Green's interviews.
The sceptical view
It was first written down years later from family testimony; no measurements or photographs survive.
