Moment California man is stunned after bear walks into his kitchen while he’s doing the dishes

A California man was left stunned after a bear wandered into his kitchen while he was washing dishes.

Jason Wightman of Sierra Madre didn’t know how to react when the 300-pound animal walked through an open door into his home Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.

He shared a nail bite five minute video from interacting with Facebook, where it received more than 2,000 views.

Alongside a shocked emoji, he wrote: ‘I was doing my dishes and happened to look over and this happened.’

In the clip, the animal carefully pokes its head around the corner and looks at the homeowner before approaching.

“Hi, are you nice?”, Jason asks nervously, “You’re in my house, get out of my house.”

He continued, “Mr. Bear, I’m warning you, get out of my house. Bear, bear, bear, be nice. You’re licking your lips.’

While trying and failing to get the animal to leave his house, he asked the bear, “Do you want me to spray you with water?”

Wightman continued spraying the bear as he tried to get closer again, but he backed away and ran outside.

Then he realized that there were actually two of them who were now in his garden.

“Okay, who else do you have here? Is it just the two of you? I’ll see you there,” he said as he filmed them.

“I’m not going to hurt you, I just want you to move on.” Go how you got out. Go on, I have nothing for you here,” he added, continuing to talk to the animals.

One of the bears appears to become irritated and begins walking quickly towards the California resident, who quickly backs away and runs back to his house.

The bears clearly didn’t want to leave, even when the man opened the door for them and kept making noises to scare them away. However, they eventually climbed over a fence and left the property.

Speak with CBS News of the incident, Wightman said, “I don’t even remember what I said. It happened so quickly. There was a bear in my kitchen.”

According to the newspaper, Sierra Madre recorded more than 370 bear sightings last year alone, with 70 of the animals entering people’s homes.

Now, halfway through this year, more than a hundred have already been spotted, three of which are in homes, according to Deputy City Manager Laura Aguilar.

The video comes just as it was confirmed that a 71-year-old California woman who was mysteriously found dead at home was mauled to death by a black bear in the first-ever fatal attack of its kind.

Patrice Miller was found dead last November in her home in Downieville, a small Sierra Nevada town two hours northeast of the state capital, Sacramento.

Sierra County sheriff’s deputies were checking on the well-being of a resident who had not been seen in several days when they found a broken door and bear feces on the porch.

Officers forced their way into the house and discovered her dead body inside. They noted that the house had been ransacked, with signs leading them to believe that a bear had entered the property.

“It appeared the bear had probably been there for several days and had been feeding on the remains,” Sheriff Mike Fisher told KCRA.

It was initially believed that Miller died before the bear’s arrival and that it may have been attracted to the scent.

Meanwhile, there were many reports from concerned citizens about a bear repeatedly returning to the house. A state depredation permit was issued and a bear on the property was trapped and euthanized, according to Fisher.

An autopsy subsequently revealed that Miller had died “as a result of a bear mauling or a swipe and a bite to the neck.”

The state Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed this was the first report of a fatal black bear attack on a human in the state.
