Man-eating Grizzly on Washington Island

Washington Island, a small community in northern Wisconsin, is in quite a flutter. It turns out the rumors circulating around the island were true, a large grizzly bear did exist deep in the woods. The beast was something of legend. Ancestors told of this monstrous animal, but none had encountered it. Only self-proclaimed sightings were reported. That is, until just this past week, when Washington Island native John Young was found dead in his log cabin. While on a routine trapping round, Young was checking his last trap. He came across the bear, which was feasting on Young's catch. The bear chased Young back to his cabin where it ended up killing him. Young's wife checked on her husband after he didn't return, and found him half-eaten. Truly a sad occurrence. Officials examined the scene, finding distinct bear tracks and bite marks in the victim. The image of a bear also appeared on Young's hunting camera. The evidence is undeniable. Search crews have tried tracking the bear to no avail. The beast still lurks in the heart of the forest, waiting to prey on it's next victim.
