Bear claw on a church door


"In his novel For Whom the Bell Tolls, Ernest Hemingway wrote about a bear’s paw nailed to the old church door in a small mountain village in Spain. It turns out that there really is a bear’s paw nailed to the church door, and now, science has confirmed that the paw comes from the 16th century."

The video above is a three-minute documentary that is very well done. Nothing earth-shatering, but an interesting story.
