    I would guess a light source being either projected or coming from a window (some of the light is spilling onto the figure standing directly behind the girl who is bending over). If you lighten the image, the highlighted parts to the ‘ghost’ marry up to the wood panelling of the wall. I would also guess the same light source is responsible for the strange colouring of the upper part of the person’s jeans on the far right. Was this taken from a scanned photograph, rather than a digital camera?

    It could also be rainbow colouring, caused by the light refracting on a greasy or dusty camera or scanner lens.

    Do you have the EXIF data? It could be ‘night scene’ mode that combines flash and long exposures.
