The ground should not have power but it is a safety wire in case you have a ground fault. Something is leaking current to ground. In addition you have a bad ground.
Several have advised you to check with the 3 light tester and to plug into a GFCI circuit which is a good idea.
A very small leakage to ground (under 5ma) is acceptable but above that a GFCI will trip.
