A Florida woman was chased by a bear on Halloween, and unfortunately for her, the black bear wasn’t someone wearing a costume.
But Millie Thompson of Naples, Fla., was able to get to safety after a neighbor came to her aid.
“I just stood there and just panicked. Where am I going to go?” Thompson told told NBC 2 News. The bear “wasn’t just strolling or looking – it was running.
“I didn’t know if I could make it or what, and I just took my hands like this and I said, ‘Dear God, what now?” she added, gesturing with her hands on the sides of her face.
That’s when a neighbor pulled up to her and told her to get into their car. The black bear then went back into the woods.
Thompson said her Indigo Parks neighborhood in Naples has had run-ins with bears before, including a neighbor’s near-encounter with a black bear two weeks ago.
“We have a bear problem,” she said. “They’re not afraid of us.”
Thompson said she’s most concerned about children in the neighborhood.
“It could’ve been a child doing that same thing,” she said, referring to being chased by a bear.
