I'd say it's possible, but not easy, especially if you're planning on having your bear behave realistically. Take Jaws for example (the movie - I didn't read the book). It's frightening, but the shark behaves in a manner that doesn't reflect real life. Typically wild animals don't go out of their way to hunt humans, or even to interact with them. To create any creepiness at all, you'd have to conjure a beast that acted more like a monster and less like an actual animal. There's nothing wrong, by the way, with enhancing an animal's abilities or aggresiveness to fit the needs of your story, but I get the impression that's not what you were going for.
