Yes something has shorted out somewhere could even be just a screw or nail barely touching something and it's being conducted thru the metal frame to studs or drywall. Do you have tester check it(ground) if not get one. are your smoke/fire alarms working?? https://www.onallcylinders.com/2012/01/16/how-to-diagnose-electrical-ground-issues/
