Thoughts? A mutual friend took this picture on her iphone. It was pitch black outside so she took it with night mode. She says that there was nobody there when she took it. Taken in Grafton ghost town in Utah.
Hypotheses
Objects in motion, captured on a long exposure

Most often this artifact is called skayfish if the lens gets a passing bird or insect. It is based on the discrepancy between the speed of the video and the frequency of the flapping of insect wings. Essentially, each video drops a few strokes of the wings of an insect, which when viewed looks like "arrow", provided with long protuberances. The motion of the insect by its translucent body seems to "boom" and vibration of the wings give the appearance of bumps.
Investigation
Since the photo turned out to be quite bright, it was clearly taken in night mode (i.e. with a shutter speed of 1 to 10 seconds). Based on the shape of the creature = this is a person who accidentally moved in the frame.
