Grandpa's Ghost

My family and I all spent Christmas at my grandparents' place and it was the first Christmas after my grandfather passed away. He would always sit in the dark green recliner and loved his great-grandchildren, (as well as his grandchildren, of course!). Sometime during our visit my seven year old nephew said that he saw a "small white light" floating in the hallway outside Grandpa's bedroom. As you can see there is a small orb-like anomaly floating close to and in front of his younger brother, Xander, (pictured. Four years old), and close to where Grandpa's favorite chair still sits where you can kind of see the side of it. We like to believe that our Grandpa was with us during the holidays and that he keeps watch over his home and family. Also, my younger brother passed away about three years ago so this could also be him, but I got a distinct "Grandpa" feel from this, especially since it was seen and felt near his bedroom and favorite chair.
Sorry for the size of the picture. I didn't mark the image in any way since the orb is pretty obvious. Even though I actually missed it the first time I went through my Christmas photos. It was taken with a Fujifilm 7.3 megapixel camera and the lens was perfectly clean. Also, my Grandparents don't have anything glass like a chandelier or anything like that to reflect the light.

P.S. My grandpa's favourite breed of dog, and he raised four or five along with his father and his father's father was the Boston Terrier and my catchpa phrase for this site is "Boston". Do I need any further proof that Grandpa watches out for his family?
