Wanstead "Bear"

A UK man was fishing near Wanstead when he saw a hairy bear-like creature.

"'I looked over and saw this strange, dark figure that resembled a bear. It was hunched over and I could see it had a really hairy back. I think it must have heard me and scampered off into the bushes after a couple of seconds.
"'It was getting dark but I still managed to get a good look at it. It was about 4ft tall, so it was too small to be human, but not the right shape to be a deer, it didn’t have long legs or anything like that.'"

A park keeper in Wanstead doubted the sighting. (News source.)
