House still has Fuses, built 1959. I've got a couple lights/Outlets flickering power. Around 630pm we noticed a burning rubber/electric smell. We pulled the fuse to the room where the smell was coming. We located the smell coming from a table lamp bulb. We thought we fixed the issue, installed the fuse back in and went went amount our night. We were downstairs playing a game and I heard a loud buzzing/crackling noise. I was unable to tell exactly where it was, but it sounded like it was upstairs. I went upstairs to check and 3 of my ceiling lights were flashing/flickering. We pulled the fuse right away and everything stopped. I looked around at the light fixtures didn't notice anything loose. Plugged the fuse back in and the lights started flashing and flickering again, including 1 outside light, and another outside light that uses the outside plug-in as it's power source.. we pulled the fuse again to stop all electrical current from going through and plan on calling an electrician to come out and troubleshoot.
Wondering if anyone has ideas? No new electrical installation was done, no new appliances. The only thing we did today was cleaned the gutters, and sprayed the gutters with water. Some water did get on the Mast where power enters the home, but that happened around 430pm.

Link to vid of lights..noise in the background is the air purifier plugged into an outlet that appears to be on the same circuit (we've tested prior to today what outlets work with what fuse we took out as nothing was marked on the fuse box)
Thanks!
