Gayle Beatty is a wife and mother of four children. Gayle grew up on the base of Stissing Mountain in the town of Pine Plains, Dutchess County, New York. Growing up in the Hudson Valley, she was always interested in nature spending most of her time in the woods. Gayle learned to fish and hunt from her Dad and enjoyed riding horses and milking cows at her friends farms. She had never heard of Bigfoot, and had little fear of being in the forest alone. One night Gayle decided to go solo camping on the mountain behind her house. She set up her tent in her favorite spot and settled in for the night. It wasn’t long before she heard what she believed to be a Great Horned Owl call right in the tree above her. It was very loud and a bit unnerving . A few minutes later,she heard the most God awful sound of her life! Gayle was very familiar with the wildlife in her area, and this was so loud and powerful, that she became frozen with fear. She doesn’t know how long she sat there shaking, afraid that whatever it was would kill her. She finally decided to bolt down the steep ravine and ran to her house. She was white as a ghost and terrified.  Her parents asked her what was wrong, all she could say was there is something up on the mountain and it’s after her! It was not until around 2011 when Gayle watched the Finding Bigfoot Show and heard the vocalizations, that she knew what she had heard that night. Gayle immediately googled Bigfoot sightings in Dutchess County and found out that two women had reported a daytime sighting of a large black Sasquatch crossing on Lake Road, which just happened to be the very road she lived on. Needless to say that sparked her curiosity. Since then it has become her passion to find out the truth behind these Creatures that inhabit our forests. Gayle will be joined by fellow researchers Connie Imming and Debbie Ray.
