As you see ls puts ANSI Esc sequences around the entries. If you look  
closer they are colouring the entries. You have approximately four  
ways to correct it:

	1.) use an ls alias in Emacs' shell that does no colouring (man ls,  
man <shell's name>) in your shell's rc file or in Emacs shell's rc  
file, i.e. .emacs_<shell name>
	2.) set either in your shell's rc file or in Emacs shell's rc file,  
i.e. .emacs_<shell name> an environment variable that switches off  
the colouring (for example 'unsetenv CLICOLOR' for (t)csh like shells)
	3.) set in .emacs something like (it seems to depend on some minimal  
Emacs version, 21.4?):

                (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook (lambda ()
                       (ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)))

        4.) use term instead of shell
