Learned the hard way that expired film can give you GHOST images

I picked up a roll of 10 year old Kodak Gold 200 from a thrift store for $2. Shot it on a sunny Saturday at the park near my house. When I got the scans back, half the frames had faint double images of things that weren't there. Turns out expired film can develop weird latent image retention if it's been stored hot. Anyone else had expired film do something totally unexpected like that?

omg my friend bought a brick of expired Fuji Superia from some random ebay seller and every single shot came out looking like a sepia toned horror movie set. the weird part was these green streaks that looked like plant stems across all the photos.

Probably the emulsion separated from the heat in shipping.
