Flash Ghosting | Ask David Bergman

Today's question from Jay J. is, "In darker settings where there is little ambient light, I will use either an on-camera flash or a strobe. However, I get a lot of shots where there appears to be ghosting. I thought the flash would freeze the subject, but it doesn't always seem to do so. What am I doing wrong?"
