A photo of something strange on my arm

AND a friend and I were taking photos with my webcam. I wanted to get a good shot, so I shot several at once. I think I took about thirty. Then, after I took photos with my webcam, we started looking through them. We wanted to see which photo looked the best, and while we were looking, my friend says, hey, go back to that one photo we were just looking at.

Picture Something strangeI scrolled back to the photo and simply couldn't believe what I saw, and neither did my friend. It was an image of someone or something next to me, on my shoulder. You can see that he has long hair and eyes, a nose and a mouth. At first I was pretty freaked out by it. I'm sure there's an explanation, but I don't have it. My friend and I were just sitting next to each other and not moving, and in the background is a wall of sheetrock insulation with a compact fridge and some trash on it. Then I took more photos with my webcam and didn't see this image or anything else like it or anything nearby. In fact, we never saw anything again. Since then, I occasionally take photos with this webcam when I'm alone and haven't seen anything.
