Headlights flickering on/off while car is off? Haunted car 0_o

So while watching tv, I noticed the lights on my car were flickering on and off, so i went outside to check if I left them on and no. As I stood next to my car, I heard a buzzing sound coming from the battery and the cars would go on again. I went ahead and unplugged the battery for now since it was 3 am in the morning, but would anyone know the problem going on?

Here is a short vid of the lights on while the car is off :/ and no the keys are not in the ignition and everything is on off.

Check your fuse and relays. Did the engine bay get wet by any chance?

Nope nothing is wet. The switch was on off not on auto since this casper thing was freaking me out :/

I am leaning towards battery since it struggles a bit to turn on and while driving, the audio from a cd or anything I am listening to degrades, as in cuts out, lowers in volume etc etc.

but how do you figure the battery could be the problem, I don't see the connection?
