Pro mist "ghost" effect

[Yaeli]

Hello everyone,

So I made an impulsive purchase and bought a pro-mist 1/4 filter. I have tried it today, and in several images, I got a "ghosting" effect, as if parts of the stained glass windows in that church were inverted and "reflected", and I can't understand why that happened.
Do you have any idea ?
Thank you beforehand,
Yael.
P.S: unrelated, but if anyone knows why I keep getting "error" messages telling me that my images are too large when I attach files that are way below 2mb...

Glowing, diffused highlights are exactly what a pro-mist filter is intended to do. If you don't like that effect, do not include any bright light sources in your shots. In the absence of bright light sources, the diffusion effect will be much less pronounced.

Oh, I don't mind the glowing highlights, at all. I bought the filter for that very purpose. I'm talking about the ghost, inverted stained glass reflections in the bottom of the 1st and 4th images (the other 2 are without filter). That, I don't understand.

The uploader sort of works with the "Attach files" tool - this one:

It works more effectively if you use the "Insert image" tool in the icons above the posting window - this one:
