Subject: False Positives

I have recently begun a group with 3 others, who like myself are very serious about the research of paranormal phenomena.
We just completed our first real hunt. It was a local cemetery; very old and large. Unfortunately our hunt had a time constraint. Although we were welcome to come in, we were not allowed to stay beyond the gate closing at 9pm. We are hoping that we will be allowed to stay beyond the gate closing as the gate keeper becomes more comfortable with us.
We were only able to get 268 shots. Of those 268 shots, we were able to confirm 2 positives from the 35mm Minolta, 4 positives from the digital, and 4 from 2 35mm Kodak Disposables. Actually, I was pleased with this on our first hunt. We had 2 audios going, but we did not get any EPVs.
I am getting too long here!lol Here is my question.
I am tearing my hair out on an anomaly that appears in the 2 disposable cameras.(They are not included in my confirmed positive count I gave you) What appears in several of these shots is a white opaque area which varies in size and shape in the lower right hand corner. I am the hunter that used these cameras. I have ruled out obstructions such as a strap (there isn't one on these), image in foreground(I avoided that), my fingers (keep them carefully tucked away from the lens), or my hair(tied back and covered.) In inspecting the negatives, the anomaly is within the frame, and does not appear to be a developing problem. Is there anything else this could be? What I find strange is that this anomaly appears in both rolls, not just one. Is there something characteristic to the disposables that could cause this? Is this a type of light leak?
Well actually these were alot of little questions. Any feedback or resources you could provide, would be sincerely appreciated. (I would like to finish my log sheet!lol)
