I remember some of it . The logging truck was empty around Graves Creek when the driver hit something in front of him. He evidently didn't know exactly what was hit other than a black figure running across the road. He reported the accident to his boss when the truck returned to the shop for the night. The mechanics noticed a weird fur or hair on the grill and bumper. For some reason they notified the sheriff's office in Grants Pass to make sure it wasn't some one's horse that might be badly hurt.
The story goes the police found the skid marks from the truck and began looking the area over for the animal. What they found is not clear to anyone.I don't know for sure but the rumor started circulating about a wild man thing dead in the brush near the road. I do remember the truck was a red IH Westcoaster and it did have good amount of damage to the grill and bumper. I had heard about it through the old lady that owned and run the Galice store then.
