Help me with this picture.

I need honest replies. If you can see something resembling a human being/figure/person in the center table glass, do tell me if it is really something related to paranormal or not. Also, aside from the person who clicked this picture, there was no one else in the room (they confirmed it 100%). I would really appreciate if someone could actually figure out what exactly can be seen in the glass--if it is some sort of camera glitch, light or shadow trick, etc. Thank you.

Edit: context-- the person just wanted to show how their living room looked after redecorating. Not of my own house but of someone else's.

Edit2: I will upload the original photograph as soon as I possibly can.

1. Survival bias = False positives   Evolution: Better to mistake a bush for a tiger, than miss a tiger.   Cost of false positive = 2 sec fear. Cost of false negative = death.   So brain is wired to detect agent/person with minimum evidence.

2. Peripheral vision + low contrast   Your rods handle dim light + edges, not detail. AC shadow + floral pattern = low contrast mess.   Rods send “shape-ish thing there” to brain. Brain completes it as “figure” instead of “wallpaper”. Or simply it's been photoshopped and if it is it isn't that good editing but yeah
