As to what your Meter is reading (displaying):

High input Impedance Volt Meters can display some rather odd stuff at times!

When you find odd readings - such as the ones you mentioned, try using your Wiggy in parallel with the Fluke DVM, to see if the readings become more "Reasonable".

There's an optin to place a fixed resistor across the leads, but that option may be hazardous for the person doing the tests, if the circuit is indeed active (live).
The Wiggy method is very much less hazardous than the shunt resistor - plus you do not need to purchase any resistors or alter any leads.
Need to practice a bit to get both meters connected at the same time.

Next time you find odd readings on a circuit - especially if it's "Dead", have an Assistant connect a Wiggy's Test Leads right next to the DVM's Test leads - and watch the numbers change!
