Elise Parliament Card was hanging the washing in her backyard. Her husband, the afternoon foreman at the West Branch Lumber Mill, had just returned to work after having a sandwich lunch at home.
Elise claimed that she heard a mighty rustling in the cow fields. Then the cows all became agitated. That is when she saw a large white monster, running on all fours, leap over one of the cows. It landed and stood up to its full height of over 12 feet. It let out a massive roar, then sprang toward the washing line, Elise was standing under.
Fearing, mightily, for her life, Elise took herself into the house as fast as she could. The screen door slammed behind her as she saw the 12 foot monster, with red eyes, and a large nose, get itself tangled in the washing line. Screaming Elise fled the house. She ran all the way to the West Branch Lumber Mill and refused to return home for several hours.
Her husband did find large feet prints in the area around the pulled down washing line and upset clothing. No other evidence was mentioned in their accounts.

It does actually sound a lot like the salted fish in the barrel story though doesn’t it? Minus the kids playing in the yard and her gathering them up and then “booking it” outta there post haste

Once again a situation where sasquatch could have easily killed someone, but refrains from doing so. Why? I think these creatures are very intelligent and far more complex in their behavior than predictible wild animals that are known.
William M
You might be right Bill. Or we might not hear any accounts from people who died.
Elise Parliament Card was her name?
