When 2 hot wires are close to each other for a long run of wire they act like a capacitor and a capacitor will pass current/voltage. Not very much current,but with a high impedance digital meter you will see some voltage.
Where I worked we had long runs of wire in conduits. It was not unusual to have enough voltage induced in the wiring to shock the crap out of you even if both ends of the wire was disconnected. I found out that often if I used my Simpson analog meter I could start at the highest voltage range and step down to the lower voltage ranges the meter would stay in about the same physical place in many cases even the voltage would be much less as read on the face of the meter.
