A recently resurfaced old video depicted a tense encounter between a man and an unexpected visitor. The US man displayed both courage and a sense of humor as he politely requested a sizable black bear to leave his wilderness area. The incident occurred at a campsite in Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania, and quickly captured the attention of social media users. Shared on platform X (Formerly Twitter) by a user named Aric Chen, the video began with the man standing at a safe distance from the bear, which appeared to be inspecting the campsite. Rather than panicking, the man adopted a composed demeanor and initiated a polite conversation with the uninvited guest. In a lighthearted tone, he “asked the bear to leave.”
Take a look at the video here:
What makes this encounter particularly remarkable is the man’s unwavering composure, even in the face of potential danger. He did not raise his voice or make sudden movements, adhering to safety guidelines. As the clip progressed, the bear attempted to swipe at him with its massive paw. Despite onlookers’ panicked cries for the man to move, he remained remarkably composed. Later, the bear, seemingly unperturbed by the request, takes a moment to evaluate the situation before eventually making its way out of the campsite.
Accompanying the video, the caption read, “Bear tries to join the party. Then this man told the bear that he is not invited, and asked him to leave.”
As soon as the clip surfaced on the internet, social media users flooded the comment section with their contrasting reactions. Some applauded the man for his bravery, while others deem his actions reckless, cautioning that the bear could have easily turned hostile. Humorous memes are even used to express differing viewpoints.
Reacting to the post, a user wrote, “This bear should be invited as a special guest. It is friendly and sensible.” Another commented, “Seems to be a friendly bear.”
