I shoot with black  white film.



This is just a guess, but if the reflection is not there when using BW 
film (and shooting in the SAME lighting conditions -- this is important) 
then the FIRST reflection is probably off of the film itself.  Something 
else is making the second reflection so that the light gets back to the 
film.  Perhaps it is the edge of the pinhole?


Firtunately, odd an unexpected results are the hallmark of pinhole 
photography, so this is probably a good thing.  (Besides, if you want 
flawless pinhole shots, a Holga is not the camera to start with; it is 
good if you WANT to get unespectedly artistic shots...)

Huh.  Looking at the truck picture, it sure looks like
there's some light bouncing around from something
shiny inside the camera -- or (?) maybe your pinhole
isn't quite round.  Maybe you could take a bright
flashlight and shine it inside the camera and see if
anything is shiny?

Huh -- is the line (in the prints, that is) light,
dark, other?  It sounds like a light leak (but might
be something else, like film bent during processing). 
Maybe post an example?
