BFRO #20960: Late afternoon sighting by camper 14km outside Port Alberni

📍 Location

📝 Description

OK first of all IM a musician from daytona beach florida.4 or 5 years ago my band was recording in Vancouver BC. On a few days off we were invited to go on a camping trip to this place by Port alberni(Ican give directions but couldnt tell you the spot) however it Is a provincial park And well known by lots of people. Its obout 15 minutes out of town...Let me start by saying it was my first camping trip ever and we went with a guy we met named Simon (no last names)he claimed to be a woodsman and by the way he could climb a tree I dont dought him.It was me, my wife, a band mate named Matt and his wife and simon...We got to our camp site and could not find the guy who sold fire wood so Simon got some little sticks together and made a little fireand the girls went to town(Port albernnie) to get some girl things)I said I would stay and look after the fire when they went and bought some fire wood.To keep the fire going I was running around pickin up what I could find and there was a branch that was kinda broken of this tree so I was pullin on it tryin to brake it off but it just wouldnt brake off and when I turned around to sorta pull on it I saw a bear in the bushesI didnt want to make eye contact with it so I turned around and started pulling with my back facing the bear..Then I became more than a little worried cause I do not know how bears are with people ...When I turned around to see what it was doing I thought it was a retarded person maybe camping with family..I said something like HELLO or HEY YOU being nice ,,made eye contact for 2 or 3 seconds and it stood right up and walked away It was walking on 2 feet and it was more broud than it was tall...also carried its hands much different than a person would ...I dont know how to explaine????but it was wierd..It didnt scare me at all I think it thought I was wierd...The one thing I remember the most is after it took 3 or 4 steps I couldnt hear it anymore...I just went back to our rented camp site and hung out till Simon and Matt got back Iwas not afraid ...Later I asked Simon if there were bears around here???Everybody just started lauphing at me...sain The first time I go camping I think I see bears ...bla bla bla..I never even told my wife the truth ...Wierd huh???the one I trust the most...so thats what I have to say ...I have seen bears before and have got pretty close and they just seem to pay no attention.....Like I said I play in a band and do not like the outdoors (fishing ,hunting ,camping ...any of that) Thats what happened to me
