Looks like the "Loose" end of the probes is probing to the Ungrounded Conductor.

Simply stated, the Black lead, which has been inserted into the sleeve of the Wiggy, has been placed on the Grounded conductor, and the other lead [the Red one] is placed on the Ungrounded conductor and is held directly in the person's hand.

Should be the other way around.
The "Free" lead [not held in the Wiggy's sleeve], should be probing the Grounded conductor, and the "Sleeved Lead" [the one held within the Wiggy], should be probing the Ungrounded conductor.

First connection would be to the Grounded conductor, then the other lead gets connected to the Ungrounded conductor.
Disconnection is reversed [Hot first, then Grounded conductor].

For L-L voltage checks, where the Lines are all Ungrounded, it's a crapshoot to figure which one to probe first Here's where I would be more prone to using the "Sleeved Lead" in my left hand.

Is this anywhere near the 3rd thing wrong, or am I so wrong that the light emmited from "Right" is Red-Shifted, as it accelerates away from me???
