What in the heck happened here??

So what ya'll saying is the tripod moved... :D
Outside temps were mid-70's, pretty much the same as the inside of my SUV. (This is southern Georgia).
It was drizzling lightly during my first "set-up" shots. I did have a yellow rain poncho over the body of the camera for some of the shots. I can't recall if this was one of them. I also had to climb up onto a small bluff for these shots. I jammed the feet of my tripod into the earth for added support.
I'll have to look again to see the "face"?

There are clearly two images here. One is dark and the other is a pale ghost. The camera is not level. The ghost image is displaced to the left and slightly upwards, but not parallel to the horizon. The ghost image is on top of the dark image. Look at the ghost of the water in the lower centre superimposed on the log to the left. So we can rule out some malfunction in the camera scanning the photosites, as this would have been exactly parallel to the bottom edge of the image and the upward displacement would not have occurred. For the same reason we can pretty well rule out a reflection off a filter etc. The only logical explanation is that the camera was displaced to the left and slightly upward for the last 10 to 20% of the exposure. Any malfunction of the shutter causing a double image would also have been parallel to the bottom edge of the image, without the upward displacement.

Definitely looks like camera movement to me as the overall image is soft. The fact that only the tree seems to stand out might be because it is dark against a light background.

Looks to me that there was enough tension on the cable release in the first nano secs as the shutter was pressed,to pull the camera off center and cause the dbl exposure before the camera snapped back to the original composed setting. In the second one, the camera did not move so the original composed setting did not change.

Then it is a double exposure, no other explanation. Care to explain how it happened?

I have had this happen before. What has happened is that the tripod was moved either at the beginning or at the end. You can reproduce this by setting up your tripod with shutter release put your hand out and start the picture then move your hand and release the shutter. This would be the same as moving the tripod and camera.
