A three-year-old boy who went missing in a North Carolina forest for two days said he “hung out with a bear” to keep company while his family and hundreds of others searched for him.
The boy’s aunt, Breanna Hathaway, revealed in a Thursday evening Facebook post that the boy, Casey, told authorities and his parents while recovering in the hospital that he spent time with a bear over the two days he went missing.
“Casey is healthy, smiling, and talking. He said he hung out with a bear for two days God sent him a friend to keep him safe,” Hathaway said in a Facebook post Thursday evening, shortly before the post became unavailable. more here

Bigfoot. Split when she heard humans coming leaving boy tangled in vines so he wouldn’t wander away.
Bears hibernate, for months. So many cliches. How they wake up, most relative one, and still makes the most sense. Thank the stars Casey did not wake up the same way,,
The kid has a great imagination or he only remembers seeing a bear in the area. Then again, maybe God did command a bear to keep the little guy occupied until he was rescued.
Any how, there had to be an unseen angel with him, because it’s a miracle he survived.
“…So the first bear bed was too hard, and the second bear bed was too soft, but the third bear bed was juuust right.”
🙂
Now he will be able to answer the ancient question about bears and their bathroom location.
I bet a family member said ‘a bear could’ve gotten you’. And in the child’s mind the story grew from there.
Hopefully it wasn’t Pedobear.
“Bigfoot”
…but the kid didn’t say anything about Michelle’s hideous boots, so it COULDN’T have bern Bigfoot @Ow My Balls…
“Now he will be able to answer the ancient question about bears and their bathroom location.”
…well, since the answer to the companion question about “Is the Pope Catholic” would seem to be “NO”, I suppose that leaves ALL such conventional wisdom up for question now, @TP…
Now he can take a shit with the Pope…
David Paulides will have this story in another of his books. Kids have reported the same with wolves keeping them warm while spending nights in sub zero weather. Something’s very odd going on.
One of my Uncles who was an outdoorsy backwoods type always told my son when he was little that he would take him bear hunting with him. It never happened because my uncle died too soon to take him bear hunting. One of my relatives also shot a bear once when I was a kid and all I remember was the bear meat was incredibly greasy. I am glad this little boy survived this ordeal and wonder if when he grows up he’ll have a wild imagination about being saved by God first and an angel bear.
Wow! Kids say the darndest things! …..Lady in Red
Isn’t this Grizzly Adams’ origin story?
No more unbelievable than HRC had no “intent” to commit a crime by having an unsecured server and selling access to foreign agents.
izlamo delenda est …
A bear.
In January.
No idea who the kid hung out with. Maybe it really was a Godbear.
I’m going with a made-up story, just like all the racial hoaxes about notes on receipts, etc.
I was raised up by a wolf ……. and a bear ….. they were married (I think) …….. and they raised me up to become quite an accomplished person.
I expose myseff to bears …….. well …….. not really .. to skwirrls.
Bares are kinda skarey.
“…God sent him a friend to keep him safe,” Hathaway said in a Facebook post Thursday evening, shortly before the post became unavailable.
Facebook censoring any reference to The Almighty.
God has a plan for this boy.
It’s barely possible.
Where’s Mike?
