Eastern State Prison. Is it a ghost?

An eyewitness with the nickname doggymom1234 writes:

Took this photo last year at Eastern State Pen. in Philadelphia last year. I was looking through my Instagram and saw it today. It looks like a strange foggy light spot that is huge. I don't know what it is, I'm looking for advice. At first I thought it was concrete, but then I noticed that a misty light also appears on the red pillar. Is this my camera?

Eastern State Penitentiary. Is it a ghost?

Took this photo last year at Eastern State Pen. in Philly last year. Was looking through my Instagram and saw it tonight. Looks like a weird foggy light spot that’s huge. Not sure what it is, looking for advice. At first I thought it was the concrete, but then I noticed the foggy light is also appearing on the red pole. Is it my camera?

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Re-reflections in lens lenses from a strong light source

The lens consists of a set of lenses (in some lenses - of mirrors), designed for mutual compensation of aberrations and assembled into a single system.

From the contour light (bright light sources behind the subject or next to it), caught in the frame or located outside the frame, parasitic reflections from the internal elements of the lens are formed, called glare (or in slang "hares").

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

Most likely, this small haze is a glare from the light entering the frame.
