Wow. So, bottom line is, an analog meter is the only thing you can really

I believe there was a trick to make a digital meter NOT show phantom
voltage, but i don't remember what it is.

Simple: put a large-ish resistance (say, 50-100K ohms) across the leads
to reduce the input impedance. This will shunt any phantom (induced)
voltages away from the meter.
