Ghosts can create or exaggerate an existing minor color smear.
Don't waste time on on the game source, as these usually have crappy color.
Test the signal source you used for the two test patterns on a modern set. Can you still see the single ghost there?
If so, check your connecting cables and the source.
If not, connect it back to the old set with using a signal attenuator.
If you don't have an attenuator, try adjusting the AGC on the TV, as a slight signal over load can cause this. Also check the fine tuning. If it is off slightly, that too can cause ringing.
This is a general trouble shooting example. I cannot be too specific, as this TV is newer than I'm use to working on.
