Default Slight shock after the power is turned off to circuit

I have an old house (1858) that was wired in the 30's with romex. I was
changing a light fixture. I turned the power off to the circuit removed
the old fixture and while I was wiring in the new fixture I received a
slight shock when I touch the metal box and one of the wires.
Any ideas?
