While helping my neighbor do his milking back many years ago, I got set on my butt with an electrical shock when I got hold of a milking bucket up on a wall holder. This holder was in the middle of the cement wall with no apparent possibility of electrical contact.
Of course I was amazed. When I talked to the owner he said it happens to him all the time. He said he got sat on his butt once when he just took the bulk tank wrench off the wall.
Well, this went on for a while and he finally got the electric company over and they were cynical until they had the same thing happen.
Well to make a long story short, after much investigating they discovered that the source of the current was from radio waves coming from his neighbor's short wave radio antenae. They made necessary changes and the problem stopped.
Anyone ever heard of electricity collecting in metal because of radio waves?
