I remember a similar effect. Many years ago, when I was a student, in my
room I had a TV set with a simple loop antenna. 2 meters away from the
antenna was the radiator of the central heating of that house. On seams of
the elements  of that radiator the paint had come off. Below the paint the
metal was slightly oxidized with a black colour.

When I took a scewdriver and rubbed the metal blade along that seam the TV
picture would become distorted with some black lines.
I always wondered why, and in fact still do.
