A close encounter with a mama bear and her cubs startled a family during an end-of-summer vacation in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.

Video recorded by Emma Staneart shows a bear and her cubs walking along the front porch of their cabin. As the bears get closer, Staneart screams, pulling the camera away from the window to retreat inside.

“We had just gotten home when we saw her on the road and ran inside as soon as the bear changed direction and came towards the cabin,” Staneart wrote, posting the video on TikTok.

“We did not call them to us, or try to feed them,” she said. Credit: Emma Staneart via Storyful
