Weird black spot over negatives creating a haze

I got to thinking I remember having something similar to this happen a long time ago but don't remember if periodically frames were either under or overexposed, but don't think it was necessarily the entire frame. Not sure if I ever figured out what wasn't firing properly but seemed like something must not have been opening and closing properly every time. It was an old camera that wouldn't have been worth the cost of repair so I didn't have it checked out.

It is localised to the image area. Faulty light seals around the back will cause darkening of the film around the sprocket holes. This means that the light is coming from somewhere forward of the film gate.

What camera is it? Focal plane or leaf shutter? Fixed or changeable lens?
