Bears became extinct in England in medieval times or earlier, so it was a surprise for centenarian Edmund Anstey when, in 1844, the following encounter occurred in Somerset.
He was making his way home on horseback when a gigantic bear, surrounded by a circle of light, burst out, perhaps from a hedge or bank. The bear, however, did the horseman no harm. To judge from the circle of light, it may have been a preternatural bear. Its sudden appearance may show it had broken through from another dimenbsion.
