A black bear trapped on this New Hampshire woman's enclosed porch

A New Hampshire woman said her family was faced with an unusual problem when a black bear ended up trapped on their enclosed porch. Melissa Champney said she and her husband awoke late Saturday night to a loud sound that appeared to be coming from inside their home. She said, “I looked out the dining room window and there was a really big bear stuck on the porch — eating the porch, as a matter of fact.” Champney said the door to the mud porch is sometimes left ajar so the couple’s cats can come and go, but the bear had apparently shut the door behind it when it came in.
