If you have seen the Monster of Minerva (Ohio). Then here is a similar story but its in NY State. I Enjoy these accounts for its done with good taste. No sensationalism or hype. It's as is accounts and done from people who have seen something and a little history on the area. The person who directs this and also did the other film mentioned does a very good job.

Beast and the Beauty

[matzkemark · 10/10 · 15 June 2016]

"Beast of Whitehall," a documentary about Bigfoot in the Adirondacks of New York, is itself an anomaly. It departs from a sensationalized approach in favor of letting eyewitnesses speak about their experiences with little editorializing. In true Fortean fashion, it raises more questions than it answers, forcing the viewer to wrestle with the problem of credible people seeing incredible things.

It could be said that the Adirondack region steals the show. Shot after shot reveals a beautiful and rugged landscape. Chances are that after being immersed in these images for forty-plus minutes, the viewer will want to hop in the car for a visit to Whitehall, located no more than four hours from New York City.

Brandon Dalo's score establishes a subtle 'mountain' feel to the film that builds on his affecting work in Small Town Monsters' previous production, "Minerva Monster." "Beast of Whitehall" is proof that beauty and mystery often stand side by side.

Excellent Documentary (Spoiler Alert)

If you're old enough to remember the 1970's as I am, then you'll remember the Bigfoot hysteria that ran rampant throughout the rural regions of the United States. On its face, you would think that a Bigfoot encounter in New York would seem improbable. However, I must admit you'll think twice after watching this very well presented documentary. While put together with a modest budget, this film lays out the case for the Abair Incident and the people who are still alive to tell the tale of what happened that night. The interviews are quite in depth with tape recordings from the time to corroborate the testimony. The director takes the viewer on a journey to the various locations as they appear today with on site accounts by the people who experienced the incident. In my opinion, any viewer with an interest in cryptozoology or just someone in search of a good documentary will thoroughly enjoy this well directed film.

Many police witnessed this thing

Beast of Whitehall (2016)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

This here is a fairly entertaining documentary that takes a look at the Bigfoot like creature that is said to haunt Whitehall, New York. There was an incident in 1976 where several local people spotted a beast and we get to hear their stories as well as others that happened over the years.

For the most part this is an entertaining documentary and especially if you're one of those nuts like me that enjoys seeing anything related to Bigfoot. I thought the interviews were quite good and the story of what happened that night was interesting enough to where it kept you glued to the film. With that said, I thought the music score was a little corny and it really wasn't needed. Still, if you're a fan of this type of film then you'll want to watch it.
