Both hot wires in a 14/3 run getting power when I only expect one to get power

I've got a strange issue with a lighted ceiling fan in my house.

The wiring in this room appears to be very simple to me. There's one power supply run coming in, one branch to the receptacles, another branch to a switch that leads into the black wire in the 14/3 that leads to the ceiling fan box, and another branch to another switch that leads to the red wire in the 14/3 that leads to the ceiling fan box.

My issue is that if either of the two switches are closed, both the black and the red wires running to the ceiling box are getting power. I don't understand how this is possible without something crazy like damaged insulation allowing current to flow between both hot wires or something.

I tested this by disconnecting the dimmer switch completely and leaving just the regular switch attached to the black wire going to the ceiling. I left the red wire completely disconnected, and closed the switch, and the red wire gets current. I verified at the switch side and the ceiling side.

Here are some pics of the wiring (album link)

• Before I disconnected anything
• Ceiling fan box
• After removing dimmer switch
• Switch open, no power to black
• Switch open, no power to red
• Switch closed, black has power
• Switch closed, red has power

I'm very suspicious of the overall wiring here because the switches were left ungrounded, and the wires were wrapped in the wrong direction around the screw terminals.

Any ideas? Thanks for reading
