parking light ground

i am having trouble with my car. every time i hit the brakes my parking lights turn on and every time i turn on the parking lights the brake lights come on not counting the third brake light. i checked all my bulbs and the wires all the way accross the back of the tail lights they arent smashed or anything. when i take out the parking light fuse the brake lights still activate the parking lights and the parking lights activate the brake lights but when i take out the brake light fuse it does not activate the parking lights with the brake or the brake lights with the switch.i was wondering if it could be just a bad ground of one of the systems causing the electricity to bleed back through the other system. also where would the ground be located for both lighting systems.

Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
One of your brake light bulbs has shorted out, and is allowing current to flow through both circuits.
