ASHEVILLE, North Carolina (WLOS) — A video of a bear encounter in North Asheville earlier this week is going viral on YouTube.
The man who shot the video, Michael Ruiz, said he believes a Halloween prank may have lured three bears to his home.
Michael Ruiz shot the video on Wednesday, Nov. 3.
A local North Asheville man captured three bears climbing, playing and sniffing a car in his driveway on Wednesday, Nov. 3, a few days after the car was egged in an assumed Halloween prank. The bears were still drawn by the scent of the eggs despite the car having been washed after the incident.
He said last Friday, Oct. 29, his son and daughter-in-law were driving the car on Kimberly Avenue when some kids hiding near the golf course threw eggs at the car.
Ruiz said despite washing the car, the bears could still pick up the scent days later.
He managed to scare off the bears before they did any major damage.
So far, the video has gotten more than 12,000 views on YouTube.
