Scaring a Black Bear Off the Porch

Occurred on April 15, 2022 / Dalton, Massachusetts, USA

: "My family and I were eating dinner when I suddenly heard a sound coming from the porch. When we turned the light on, we saw a huge black bear trying to get up onto the porch. The bear wanted to eat the bird seed from the bird feeder. I screamed but the bear didn’t get scared and kept trying to climb up. So my father went outside onto the porch and started stomping. That scared the bear and it started to climb down. He finally climbed all the way down and ran away back into the woods."
