Execpt everything you said is wrong for modern building codes. We don't ground to water pipes, they're almost never conductive these days anyway. We have grounding rods and GFCI plugs out the ass, nicer homes get AFCI as well. The panel is updated too.
It's almost as if older homes were built with older technology

>ball lightning
I've experienced one first-hand
>people still claiming they aren't real
It behaved just like people claimed to. Emerged from where our landline phone was hung on the wall. Looked like a ball of pure energy and slowly traversed the room only to disappear in thin air.
Left a smell of burnt plastic (presumably from the phone's cord, since it broke) combined with that "electric smell" you find in poorly ventilated rooms with lots of computers
