Human? Sasquatch? Other? ... Hiker photographs strange small figure wading in remote marshy pond

On a Monday afternoon day off, the witness hiked alone to a remote glacial pond and bog. From the pond overlook around 1pm she noticed a figure wading at the far edge and took two photos, after which the figure turned to look at her. Feeling frightened she left, later checked the shoreline from another path and found no one, and on reviewing the images thought the figure looked inhuman.

Investigator finds 8 inch diameter sapling snapped in two, 6 feet from ground
