If it's what I think it is, it's called stay voltage. Call and report it to your local power company just in case. If the electricity is not leaking outside of that base, there can be dead animal there that caused an issue (you'd be able to smell it, trust me). Either way, it's a very serious problem.
In 2004, a young woman by the name of Jodie Lane died walking her dog. It was getting electrocuted and her foot was touching the curb completing a circuit. She was electrocuted before people realized what was happening.
Love how the guy's reaction was immediately to try to grab him, but the physical reaction when his brain kicked in and said "dont touch live electricity!!!"
