Incident #991818
Casar, Cleveland Cty, North Carolina
1978
Account
Woodcutter making a delivery of cordwood saw what he thought was a bear in a field, backed up for a better view and watched about 5 minutes until it disappeared in thick undergrowth. Description mentions only colour, the magazine having already given a description in two preceding incident reports. This time the creature was eating some sort of berry off a low tree, and looked at the observer with curiosity.
