When we first bought this house over 30 years ago I was sitting on the concrete step and grabbed the iron railing and got a shock. I got a 60 watt test bulb and put one wire on the railing and the other on a screwdriver stuck in the ground and the bulb lit up. Turned out a critter had built a cocoon in the light fixture that shorted the hot wire to the aluminum soffit that shorted to the iron railing. Darn those critters.
