A homeowner in Michigan called for help when she thought she saw a bear in her yard, but a closer look revealed something else.

According to a report from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, a woman reported a dark shape in the brush of her yard for several hours.

Tim Barboza arrived after dark to check on the Newaygo County home. He was shown the dark shape by the resident.

He noticed there were no bear tracks.

Barboza was close enough to know that it was a large black trash bag.

The homeowner went to show her family the bear after he pulled the trash bag from the brush.
