When camping,
in order to ward off
scavenging bears,
it is recommended that
you hang your food
high in the trees,
***
because the food will appear to be floating,
***
and if there is one thing
a bear does not like,
***
it’s unexplained phenomena.

Bears aren’t into the paranormal, it’s true.

I’ve never known one to enjoy watching, In Search Of, anyway. Though they will watch it, if nothing else is on.

The only thing they really liked was Leonard Nimoy’s voiceover.

It’s why I always tuned in. That and my Loch Ness Monster fetish.

True. A floating picnic-type basket is still a picnic-type basket.

I’d always wondered.
So, why does noise deter them as well? Fear of ghosts?

Classic phonophobic behaviour. Afraid of their own voice, too, which is why they only speak in the rarest of circumstances, and then, only in cartoons.

I can understand why that would throw a bear. Mess the bear up big-time. Love the pic.

BTW, you can also keep your food protected in a halloween bowl with one of those witch hands that comes down and makes a cackling noise.

That would deter CB, not a bear. Well swap some bear stories around the old camp fire one night.

Yes, but not to chase ghosts, at least, according to the Casper cartoons.

I never considered hanging food in a tree. I just always tell my picnic basket to play dead.
