Zela Elementary School Principal James Marsh unlocked the dumpster outside of the West Virginia school yesterday morning and got a surprise. After he removed the latch, the lid popped open. It wasn’t a ghost…it was a bear that was somehow inside the dumpster.

Needless to say, Principal Marsh, made the educated choice and ran for cover when the bear came out. Luckily, the bear ran in the opposite direction of Marsh and another employee who had walked out just as the bear made its break for freedom.
