It was the sole embodiment of his power shown in the movies after Isildur struck him down. It's really quite reasonable that people would think that is Sauron.

    I mean I always assumed it was just the form his leftover power took in the physical world while his real body was slowly reforming in some dark shadow realm.

    Like a little window for Sauron to see the mortal plane through and push his influence through
