Hi Joe, I just went out to my '55 Savoy and checked your results:

True, one ground will light both running light elements.

No! The brake light element should stay off.
The brake lights are connected to each other through the turn signal switch.
So the fact that the passenger side is coming on by itself points to a faulty
turn signal switch. You will need to pull your steering wheel to get at the
switch.
Good luck!
