This pic was snapped by my 25 year old puppy with his digital camera. In the past he's returned with inexplicable orbs from this dark bridge. (You've seen one you've seen 'em all) There are no street lights on this rural road so he avails of either moonlight and/or camera flash. The bridge is about 30 yards long and 18 feet wide and the object in the background is a street sign. There are no other signs or objects in the foreground or middle of the bridge. The bridge has dark colored guard rails. 
This bridge was a fave destination because of the noises and orbs, but this pic gave us all a genuine case of the willies and "Snakeyboy" and his squeeze, "Batgirl" haven't been back to the place since.

Was the pic cropped or is it the whole thing? I take it a flash used in this shot?
not cropped and with a flash.
It might be the reflection of the sign in the lense itself. The same effect as in movies where they pan across the sun and many circles appear all lined up with the sun. If so it should be able to be duplicated. Use the same camera and try taking more pics of another street sign at night at the same distance where the sign is slightly off the center of the pic. Of course make sure the flash is on.
Correction. I just spoke with my son and NO FLASH was used (The EXIF data verified that no flash was used-he has no reason to tamper with that data nor did he expect me or anyone else to even ask to see it) and he quote "tried everything to duplicate the shot" including more than one trip back to the bridge with different moon and starlight conditions and he was unable to approach duplication. (is my face red!) He wants me to add that he did enhance the photo with the auto tone button in Adobe Lightroom for optimal viewing and contrast. (he was "going through the pix and auto-toning for the Hell of it"-he didn't expect to see any images when that one popped up) Based on this info I'd have to say that the pic really gives me the willies! And, I just learned that he had the pic for at least a year on his computer before he perused his late night photo efforts and discovered it. Here's an overlay of the "ghost image" with a night time bridge pic w/ flash, taken from as close to the original spot as possible:
Hmmmm. that's interesting. Thanks for the update. What of the scratchy thing on the right side? On the original pic it looked like a bush or small tree but on the overlay it seems it couldn't have been that. It's interesting that the size and shape of it matches the cigarette smoking ghost. hehe.
