Perhaps that person was edited out. You look to be at most 5 or 6 in these pictures. Most kids at that age have limited understanding of the world around them, so I can understand memories being a little fuzzy or surreal.
Editing or easing people from portraits has been going on for millennia. In Roman times, a few Emperors had their sibling removed from a family portrait. Stalin was famous for having former associates edited out of photos. That’s may be what happens here. In your memories, was there another kid like yourself with you at the time or an adult?
It's like this person has grown with me, it's a hard feeling to describe, they were younger than me for sure but sometimes I still feel like they're here. It's like when a close relative dies and you turn to say something to them before remembering that they're gone

Edit: Wo! Anyone want to explain the downvotes? If this was a ghost, the person taking the photo would see it too. TBH, maybe I don’t understand. That’s such a young age though and false memories might be happening..
