phantom puts a voltage into pins 2 and 3; if you have a mis-wired cord one of those voltage sources could end up in the mic body. Usually that would cause a lot of noise and probably fry the mic element as well but it's not impossible for a mic as pyhsically tough as a 58 to stand up to the voltage and serve as a veritable lightning rod as far as the vocalist is concerned.
