“I heard them screaming and my dad came outside and is just like ‘Why are you still out here? A bear just walked by our…front yard!'”
The day started off as a way for Hailey Nelson,17, and Dori Arndt,15, to earn some money at the house of their friend, Hailey Nyberg,17 last Tuesday. It took a turn when they spotted a young black bear out for a walk in the Minnesota neighborhood. Their reaction was caught on a home camera and shared to a local news station’s Instagram where it has been viewed more than 35,000 times. Nelson told WCCO she thought she saw her friend’s dog walk by but quickly realized what she saw was actually a black bear. In the video, Nelson and Arndt ran for the door and started banging on it after they discovered it was locked. “So I’m pounding on the door saying, ‘Let us in!’ Screaming our heads off, just wanting to get inside,” Nelson said. “Then [Hailey Nyberg] pokes her head around the corner.
