ABC 13 spoke to the woman by phone Thursday. She provided details on the condition of anonymity. The woman said she recently moved to the area and does not want to get a reputation with her new neighbors.
"I know this is going to sound crazy," said the woman in a call to Bedford dispatch on September 9.
The woman told the dispatcher she was driving up Route 43, toward the Peaks of Otter, around 11:40p.m. on September 9. She said her headlights hit something strange past Turkey Mountain Road, just before the first bridge.
This is part of her conversation with a dispatcher on September 11:
Caller: "I know this is going to sound crazy, but I went back and checked and there were prints, a Bigfoot with a baby."After assuring the dispatcher she hadn't been drinking, the woman offered no explanation why she waited two days to call. She says she went back in daylight.
Dispatcher: "There were what?"
Caller: "It was a Bigfoot with a baby."
Caller: "I did see some footprints and the stride was longer than anything I could make."The woman says the creature's footprint was bigger than her two feet together, end to end. She wears a size 8 shoe. She says the creature was holding its baby the way a human would.
Caller: "The baby was looking right at me."The woman told ABC 13 the baby looked just like Chewbacca from Star Wars.
Caller: "Have you ever gotten other reports like this?"The dispatcher told the woman he's worked in dispatch 10 years. A deputy checked out the area and didn't see anything.
Dispatcher: "I've never had a call like this in my life."
The woman said she knows they were not bears. We've got a call in to a state biologist to see if he can explain what she may have seen.

This phrase has been very helpful for me when it comes to the bigfoot topic!
