Default Battery Shocks Hard!!!! Need Help

I was driving down the road when I saw sparks coming from under the hood where the battery is, then my car died on me.
I checked under the hood and the negative connector on the battery was melted off. Now everytime I touch the negative connecor to the battery it sparks HARD. Me and my mechanic have no idea whats wrong.

Has this ever happend to any of you? How to fix this?

u have a direct ground issue, i would guess its ur starter or alternator...u can disconnect the alternator from the back of it and then hook up the battery and see if its still sparking
