Default Master Solenoid slowly leaking voltage when off?

Today I was doing some testing and went to turn off my master relay. It clunked off like normal but I happened to notice after a few minutes that the ALT light was on.

I took a voltage reading and it was up to 9 volts.

I turned it on and back off again and the voltage slowly started climbing from 0 up to 12 volts.

If I turned any load whatsoever on, it would drop to 0 again.

Looks like my master is leaking voltage when off?????

What gives?

I flipped it on and off several times really quick and it stopped doing this.
