Luka had never seen an animal behave like this. This giant bear was clearly waving at him and wanting him to follow it. Luka knew it was a stupid decision, but his curiosity was just too great to ignore. So Luka left his wife and children behind and decided to go after the animal.
A decision that would haunt his family for a long time…
Luka knew that he had understood the animal correctly. He knew that if he trusted his instincts, he would always make the right decision. But what he could have never predicted was where the bear would actually lead him to…
Luka now understood why the bear had kept showing up at his home. The animal clearly needed his help and saw no other option than to resort to humans. The animal had taken a big risk to get Luka here, and now it was up to him to repay the animal's faith in him…
From that moment on, Luka was solely focused on the task at hand. But what he failed to realize was that he was still dealing with a wild and very dangerous creature…
But why did the bear want Luka to follow him? Where did the animal lead him to, and was Luka’s life still in danger there?
Luka had moved his little family to a house in the woods because he absolutely loved nature and wanted his children to get as much exposure to it as possible. But soon after they settled in their new home, nature started to come a bit too close for the families liking…
The house was located fairly remote, with the closest other people at least a 10-minute drive away. Luka had gotten a lot of pushback from his wife, Andrea, for purchasing this home, but eventually, he managed to convince her. Something that Andrea still very much regretted…
But the first couple of days were actually very good for the family. They took long walks every single day, and the children were having a great time being out and about so much. Luka was convinced he had made the right decision moving here. At least, until his kids suddenly woke him up one morning in a complete state of panic…
They told him that he had to come down right now. They were trying to explain to Luka what they had seen, but their old man was still half asleep when he got dragged down and could not make heads or tails of his children's poorly worded concerns. But when he came downstairs, it only took him a second to realize what was going on…
When he looked out of the glass door onto the deck, he was suddenly staring directly into the eyes of a big black bear. Luka instinctively got in front of his kids, but then he realized that there should be nothing to worry about here.
It was no secret that there were bears in these parts of the woods, and Luka was told that sometimes they could come toward houses. The main reason for this was when they smelled food. But because of this, the architects of houses in the regions had taken the presence of bears into account.
Their glass doors were heavily reinforced, just like any big potential entrance for a black bear. He should have no way of getting in, so Luka allowed himself to calm down a little bit. That is also when he realized the unique situation they found themselves in…
Back in their old home, he had always wanted to teach his children more about wildlife. He wanted to take them to forests and look for deer or other wild animals, but they never got the perfect opportunity for it. But now, without even trying, this bear showed up at their house on its own.
This was the perfect opportunity to really get a good look at a black bear without being in any great danger. The animal even seemed to be waving at them! It was like it was inviting Luka and the kids to get a bit more up close. And so they did…
But the moment they took a couple of steps forward, the “waving” bear suddenly jumped down and made his way into the forest. They could see that he waited down on the ground for a little bit, and when he eventually did walk back into the woods, the bear still looked back at the glass door a couple of times…
Luka was surprised by the animal's strange behavior, but it was not something that would occupy his mind for very long. That is, if this was only a one-time incident. Because the next morning, the bear would be back at the house. And this was only the start of it…
This time it was Andrea who spotted the animal when she went downstairs in the morning to get a glass of warm milk. She got spooked beyond belief when she saw the animal because even though she had been told about the bear yesterday, she had not believed Luka and the kids. She thought they were pranking her!
The kids had told her about the bear with big smiles on their faces and in great detail, and Andrea had pretended to believe them. But when Luka told her more about it in private, she told him she only pretended for the sake of their kids. Only now, there was no way around it anymore.
And now that she knew the bear was actually real, she got furious at Luka. How could he allow her and the kids to stay in a house that kept getting visited by bears at night? What if a door or window was left open, and they would all be torn to shreds in the morning?
But Luka waved all her worries away with relative ease as his mind was now firmly fixated on the bear. He knew that his house had not smelled like food in the past couple of days, and if this bear kept coming here still, there had to be a good reason for it.
But he knew that this behavior could only really be seen as having a pattern when it happened 3 times, so he decided to wait near the glass door the next morning without his wife and kids knowing. And sure enough, the black bear showed up again…
He saw the leaves of a bush start to rustle, and a big black shadow slowly grew bigger and bigger. The bear had returned, and it walked straight toward the house. Luka hid behind his couch not to spook the bear, and it seemed to work as the bear casually walked onto the deck again.
Luka got very excited when he locked eyes with this giant creature again. What did it want from them? He thought he had seen it waving the first time, and the bear was making the same motion again. But this time, Luka did not see it as waves, but as beckoning. The bear wanted him to follow it…
Luka knew that what he was about to do was stupid beyond belief and that his wife Andrea would never approve of this. But something inside of him was screaming at him to follow this animal, and he knew never to ignore it when nature called to him…
He slowly stood up from behind the couch and looked a little longer at the bear. He knew he had to make the decision fairly quickly, as he had to be gone before his family woke up. If Andrea were to come down right this second, there would be no way for him to follow the bear.
He approached the door, and just like the first time, the bear quickly jumped down from the deck and waited on the floor. But this time, Luka came out of the house and made his way down as well. He was nervous beyond belief but felt like he was making the right decision.
He wanted to stay quite a distance from the bear, and this would turn out to be very easy. Because every time he would get a bit closer, the animal itself continued walking. It seemed like the bear might've been just as afraid of Luka as he was of it.
He had never heard of things like this happening before, and he had gone to enough nature meetings as soon as he heard there were bears living close to his new house. He wanted to be able to protect his family if necessary, but this went against everything they had taught him.
Luka speculated that the animal probably needed some help with something and that it realized humans could assist it. Maybe it had grown up in captivity and knew what humans could do. But as far as he knew now, the bear might be leading him deeper into the woods to have him for breakfast…
Luka was following the bear for at least 15 minutes now, and the further he got away from the safety of his home, the more scared he got. He knew that if things changed and the bear suddenly attacked him, it would be over for him, and nobody would ever find anything of him again…
He suddenly felt a wave of panic wash over him. What if he made a terrible mistake and walked straight into the bear's trap? Sweat started to form on his forehead, and he desperately looked around him to see if he recognized anything, but he didn't. If only he were still at home with his family...
But the longer he was following the animal, the more he got confident that the bear meant him no harm. If it wanted to attack, hurt or eat him, the bear would have done it already. There was no reason he could think of for the animal to wait…
The walk led Luka to parts of the woods he had not seen before. He was amazed by the untouched nature he saw around him but still did not want to let down his guard. He had to keep reminding himself that he was still following a potential killing machine.
It took about an hour of walking before the bear finally came to a stop. Luka figured that his family had to have awoken by now and found that he was missing. He had left a note behind that he would be out for a while, but he’d be home for dinner. But he did not specify what he was doing…
He hoped that the home front did not realize he was out here alone, following a bear. Andrea would never forgive him for doing something that stupid and dangerous. He just hoped they were not too worried about him. This was just something that he had to do…
Suddenly, something changed. The bear stopped abruptly and seemed to freeze in its place. Luka almost didn't see it and stopped just in time before walking into the wild bear. He looked around him, trying to see what the bear might need him for, but he saw nothing out of the ordinary.
The bear had stopped in a bit of a clearing in the forest and was now frantically looking around him. Then the animal started to sniff the ground looking for a trail of some sort. Luka was getting the feeling like this was not going in the right direction…
He guessed that this was the place that the bear had wanted to lead him to, but that whatever was here before had now disappeared. And by the looks of it, the animal was anything but happy about it. Maybe this was the right time to carefully exit this situation…
But the moment Luka took a couple of steps back, the bear quickly turned his head around to him, showing off his teeth. Luka was not going to go anywhere, and it was very clear what the animal would do if he tried anything…
Luka stood perfectly still for a couple of minutes while the bear continued frantically looking for a scent. It gave him a lot of time to really think about what a dangerous situation he had willingly put himself in. How could he have been so stupid??
No sane man had ever followed a random wild bear, yet he did. But why? Just because of a gut feeling. Luka sighed. No one would ever find him this deep into the forest. He made a really dumb decision, and now he had to pay for it. He only hoped his family would forgive him.
He was perfectly content living with his family in their new home, and now he was risking his life for a bear that was willing to kill him at the tiniest bit of disobedience. If he were to make it out of here alive, he was going to make drastic changes in his priorities…
