FACE TO FACE WITH IT. SHAUN. YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT. THAT BEAR WAS SPOTTED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT BEHIND THIS WALMART HERE. AND CLEARLY IT WAS SHOPPING FOR A MEAL, SPENDING THE SHEPHERDS POLE. I KNOW HE’S GONNA BREAK IT. I OPENED THE DOOR, I SAW THE BEAR. I TURNED AROUND, CLOSED THE DOOR, AND I WENT TO MY BOYFRIEND, AND I SAID, BEAR. LAST NIGHT, CHRISTY BLAINE GOT UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH THIS MASSIVE BEAR BANGING POTS AND PANS. AND YOU GO AWAY, BEAR. YOU KNOW, A LITTLE TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT. YEAH, YEAH. HE WAS BEAUTIFUL, BUT I JUST PREFER HE WAS NOT RIGHT IN OUR YARD. THIS BIG BOY WAS EATING HER BIRD FEED, AND FROM THE LOOKS OF HIM, HE’S BEEN GRABBING EASY MEALS FOR A WHILE. OH, YEAH? YEAH, YEAH. HE DIDN’T LOOK LIKE HE WAS SKINNY AT ALL WHEN WE WERE BANGING THE POTS AND PANS. HE JUST LOOKED UP FROM HIS LITTLE DINNER AND JUST SAT THERE MUNCHING LIKE, OH, OKAY, LADY, WHATEVER WAS SITTING LIKE A KID. YOU KNOW, SITTING UP LIKE THIS. AND WHEN PEOPLE WERE HONKING AND THE BEAR JUST LOOKED OVER AND WENT BACK TO EATING, THE BEAR HAS BEEN ATTRACTING A LOT OF ATTENTION AROUND HERE. PEOPLE WERE STOPPING. WE WERE LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AND THEY’RE HONKING THEIR HORNS, POINTING LIKE WE DIDN’T KNOW THERE WAS A BEAR IN OUR YARD. I CALLED UP THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND I’M LIKE, AH, I HAVE YOGI IN MY YARD. POLICE POSTING A NOTICE TO TELL PEOPLE TO KEEP THEIR DISTANCE AND HIDE FOOD AND GARBAGE. CHRISTY TOOK HER FEEDER DOWN AND SHE’S KEEPING HER PUP INSIDE. LITTLE LORD STANLEY. NO MATCH FOR YOGI BEAR. AND SINCE BANGING POTS AND PANS DIDN’T SEEM TO DO THE TRICK, SHE’S GOING TO BUY AN AIR HORN, HOPING TO SCARE THE BEAR AWAY. IF IT COMES BACK. LI

Some people who live in Oxford got up close and personal with a black bear that was caught eating out of bird feeders in the Massachusetts town Tuesday night.
“I opened the door, I saw the bear, turned around, closed the door, and I went to my boyfriend and I said, ‘Bear!'” said Oxford resident Christie Blaine. “I was banging pots and pans. ‘Go away, bear!'”
Blaine said the bear was beautiful, but she preferred the big animal was not right in her yard.
“He didn’t look like he was skinny at all,” she said. “When we were banging the pots and pans, he looked up from his little dinner and just sat there munching like, ‘OK lady, whatever.'”
Lynne Leake also got a good view of the bear as it was chowing down.
“Sitting like a kid. Sitting up [and eating],” Leake said. “People were honking, and the bear just looked over and went back to eating.”
“People were stopping. We were looking out the window, and people were honking their horns, pointing like we didn’t know there was a bear in our yard,” Blaine said. “I called up the police department, and I’m like, ‘Uh, I have Yogi in my yard.'”
The Oxford Police Department posted its second social media notice about the bear sightings in the Prospect Street area Wednesday morning and reminded people to keep their distance and hide bird food and garbage.
Blaine took her bird feeder down, she is keeping her dog inside and said she is going to buy an air horn to help scare the bear off if it returns, since banging pots and pans did not seem to do the trick.
