Thats very weird Spiritsam,
It may be your finger in front of the lens, that can sometimes make some weird effects, even if it is just in front a tiny bit or possibly that paper is reflecting light somehow.
I'm only guessing but it also looks like it could well be a ghost.
Spooky.
Try and recreate the picture by holding the camera as you did, then distract yourself and snap another.
Good luck.

Doubt its anything spooky at all,

Its just how the camera has interpreted the reflection of light and movement of the camera.
If you google "light painting" you can see some examples of more complex effects.

Was the camera on a timed exposure? or did you accidently press the button while it was pointing down?

Hi SpiritSam,

Thanks for posting that pic.

Has it been cropped? If it has could we see the uncropped version and can you tell us a bit more...cheers.

Well guys here let me give my insite im not no expert on anything. but i took a picture of ground. and i dont keep bright lights like that near the ground i tryed to take over 100 photos all same and different angles...tryed the light painting...but it was good enough...it doesnt make any sence in my situation hence the dark shadow next the bright lights?...also i have a samsung colby pro the lens for the camera would be way to small if my thumb had covered it even a bit it...it would blocked half the picture...there also like a black hole near the bottem left hand... which seems to kinda just make the carpet disaapper...and than this reallly brigth white light design...but its not really light...its charateristics are of something different...if u look carefully u well also see red steaks near the left bottem...lol some are even red? and also how do you explan the yellow line across the photo wouldnt that of cleary been cut out cuaght of the white light...no it hasnt been cropped or anything like that...

It's a camera phone, the lens, capture chip will potentially create lens/light artifacts. I think this is just image capture artifacts and nothing spooky.

These links aren't going to tell you what you captured but they will explain the wide variety of digital artifacts.
