Bear Attacks Statistics β Injuries & Fatalities Worldwide!
There are 40 bear attacks on humans worldwide every year.
Officials are attempting to verify whether a grizzly bear was responsible for the tragedy and are testing hairs found in the area
Montana authorities and wildlife officials are scouring the Ovando area after a suspected grizzly bear attacked and killed a camper there early Tuesday.
Something savagely killed nine cattle on Brian Stevens' farm near Carl Junction, but no one knows for sure what sort of predator did the damage.
Stevens thinks it might have been a black bear
He said he saw the red hindquarters of an animal, possibly a black bear, as it fled.
The kills may not totally fit the profile of black bears, mountain lions or coyotes, but Stevens still hopes to identify, and eliminate, the culprit.
I saw one of the apelike creatures
the creature ransacked their camp while they were gone, and the next day, while Bauman was away, it broke his companion's neck.
concluded that the allegedly unusual disappearances represent nothing unusual at all, and are instead best explained by non-mysterious causes such as falling or sudden health crises leading to a lone person becoming immobilized off-trail, drowning,[22] bear (or other animal) attack, environmental exposure, or even deliberate disappearance.
According to NamUs (National Missing and Unidentified Persons System), more than 600,000 persons go missing in the United States every year. Anywhere between 89 percent to 92 percent of those missing people are recovered every year, either alive or deceased.
In 2011, David Paulides, founder of the North America Bigfoot Search, launched a database of wildland disappearances that occurred under βmysterious circumstances.β From his research, there are at least 1,600 people, give or take, currently missing in the wild somewhere in the United States.

Hi Blue,
Those people who profess to know much more about this topic than I do, are largely of the opinion that there exist several different "Bigfoot" type creatures.
Some are believed to be benevolent and mild-mannered, even to the point of helping/sheltering/protecting lost or injured humans (especially children) and some are believed to be nasty, dangerous and aggressive towards humans.
The nastiest ones (that I've heard of being discussed) are referred to as "Gugwe" and in appearance, they have a more canine-looking snout than their ape-like Sasquatch cousins.
If the Gugwe do exist, then I'd hazard a guess that they would indeed likely attack humans who encroached on their territory, and I'd also not be surprised if the "authorities" hid that fact with "possible Bear-Attack" cover stories.
Plus, yeah... Bear attacks can and do happen unfortunately.
regards,
G

After many years of listening to close range eyewitness accounts a common thread I picked up on is how, when authorities arrive on the scene, they always appear desperate to forcefully impose on the eyewitnesses that what they saw 'was just a bear' and are urged to 'drop the subject' - almost as if this is just the standard party line (issued by the Department of the Interior/DHS).
