Strange shadows on my prints!

It looks to me like a partial obstruction of the flash system. If you were using a lens with a long focal length or large lens hood on it may be partially blocking the path of the light coming from the flash. It could also be caused by a hand or a finger. I know sometimes when I get into a shoot I'll start holding the barrel of the lens and accidentally block the flash without realizing it! This is particularly true when using the built in pop-up flashes which are so close to the camera body. I'd try setting up a similar shot with the same lens but do so in a situation where you don't need flash. Use a wide aperture and/or shoot on a bright enough location that you don't need the flash and see if you get the same shadowing. I'm guessing you won't. I hope this helps!

Looks to me like it's out of sync. Be sure your shutter speed is on 125 or slower when using flash. Vince

A lens hood blocking the light from the flash would tend to leave a curved shadow. The straight line in these pictures suggests the shutter speed was set faster than the flash sync. Flash sync shutter speed is 1/90 or slower with the Rebel G.
