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.

Movement only in New York (2017)

The witness and a companion hiked far into virgin timber to fish a distant pond. After hearing movement and feeling intense cold and dread near a swamp, they camped amid unnatural silence. Both reported a shared lucid-dream-like experience of small pale beings that looked back and vanished, and the witness took photos thought to show something.

Tree break in New York (2017)

The witness and a companion spent three days fishing and camping at a remote lake. On calm nights trees fell near camp, and each dawn they heard rhythmic wood-on-wood pounding for nearly an hour. They saw a dark partial figure behind a lakeshore pine, heard a long piercing scream with fast hillside movement, heard distant talk-like sounds and short screams, and found a single large human-like footprint in mud on the way out. They also saw an orange light over the lake that split into smaller lights, followed later by jets overhead.

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

An investigator spent the morning searching fields, a cemetery, and surrounding woods after hearing about a recent local sighting.

The investigator also spoke with nearby residents, including a child who relayed a mother's nighttime driveway encounter, but no creature was seen during the visit.
