Gail Hayssen was born in New York City. Her family was active in the Vegan and alternative health movements in the 1960s. Gail Hayssen has had paranormal experiences since she was a teenager. She attended the Woodstock music festival in 1969, appeared in the Woodstock documentary, and was featured in the recent book 50 Years of Peace and Music. She was known among friends and family for dreams that predicted upcoming personal events.
In 1970, Gail participated in Mind Dynamics, a system for expanding psychic potential. Gail discovered her own talents for accurately predicting events and obtaining personal information. In 1977, while giving birth at home, she experienced an NDE during the birth process. She was rushed from home to the emergency room to be diagnosed as in the woods with pre-eclampsia and toxemia. It was not till her second birth, 13 years later, that she realized there were no flowers, lights, and beautiful music during delivery, only labor pain.
In the 1980s, dreams and visions led Gail to a unique relationship with the Huichol Indians of the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains in Mexico. Gail received an unusual welcome from the Huichol community and attended ceremonies generally forbidden to outsiders. Since then, Gail has developed unique relationships with native people and shamans from other cultures, including the Haida of Alaska and the shamans of Mongolia, where she spoke at the International Shaman Symposium in 2006 and 2011.
In the late 1990s, Gail met scientists Dr. Dean Radin and Russell Targ, who were conducting experiments in ‘remote viewing’ to understand how people perceive events distant in space and time. As an experimental subject, Gail would draw and describe a photograph that would be randomly selected in the future and then shown to her. She has worked with them as a subject in experiments and remote viewing since 1998. In 2011, Gail was initiated as a Buriat White Shaman and has been a subject and collaborator in numerous paranormal experiments with Dr. Radin and others, including the Ganzfield Experiment, documented in Dr. Radin’s international bestseller Supernormal.
In 2014, she was awarded an honorary doctorate from Mongolia’s National Academy of Sciences. Russell Targ's Third Eye Spies, a Remote Viewing documentary, has a video of the two of them conducting a remote viewing experiment together.
For decades, Gail Hayssen has been a subject, participant, and contributor to scientists in the paranormal and psi-research field and publications. She has led an unconventional life and found herself accepted into other cultures by just being herself. For the last three years, she has had a podcast called A Small Medium at Large with Gail Hayssen. Gail Hayssen has been a subject, participant, or co-author in numerous experiments and publications.
