I was disassembling a 5 gang box in a bathroom where a house's upstairs circuits come into. I shut down the power on all the circuits and double checked with my tic tracer all was de-energized. Pulling the romex cables out of the 5 gang box I brushed my arm against a 3 wire which powered a bedroom and got a pretty good shock. I pulled my meter out and saw 90V to ground on one and 30V to ground (and neutral) on the other. I walked in the bedroom and saw the new LED hi hats had a dim glow to them. There was also a circuit located nearby the switch bank for those lights. It would seem that this was a multiwire circuit with the neutral open??? What would be a good procedure to verify that? What made those hi hats glow?
