Orange “aura” around people/objects in photo, usually present with older cameras?

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask but I’ve been unable to figure out what exactly this is. It’s an effect, seemingly unintentional, that makes people and things have orange blurs around them, making them look like their souls are leaving their bodies or something (haha). I say it’s from “old” cameras because the instances I’ve seen them had been captured in the year 2005. My best guess is that this is caused by the people moving around too much and the camera lagging on their previous position, or some other processing error.
I’ve attached some photos of a Flyleaf concert that hopefully demonstrate what I mean.

Actually, this is intentionally done and can be duplicated with any camera and flash combo that supports second curtain / rear curtain sync.
The shutter speed is intentionally slow, and causes an under exposed, blur of a “ghost.” Right before the shutter closes, the flash fires, capturing a perfectly clear and sharp exposure of the person.
The technique you should google is called dragging the shutter or flash on second curtain sync or rear curtain sync.
(Sidenote: I’ll add more info to this later when time allows)
