not exactly sure where a ground probe grounds (assume it's house ground) but you should check to make sure your house wireing is good. With a meter, check your wall socket blades to ground. One should be 120 or so the other should be zero. If ground in the house is broken somewhere and something in the house is shorting to ground, then ground becomes live.

Worth checking out for sure as the ground probe should not induce voltage in any way.
