Worse, if the LED is wired to the hot side it will just barely glow at all times.
I think your house might be wired wrong if this is happening... The only thing I can think of is maybe if you've got some smart switch and no neutral, so the wifi in the switch has to power itself by leaking current through the light, which is a pretty unusual setup. I don't see how this could ever happen on a regular dumb switch.
