Have you tried shutting all breakers off, making sure the meter stops,
then turning them on one at a time and watching the meter speed?

I'm going nuts trying to figure out why I am using so much electricity at this new house.
1/3 smaller, ten years newer, better insulated, same appliances as I had at the previous house and I am logging more than DOUBLE the electricity used. If I am reading the meter correctly, (and I'm pretty certain I am) I used 1100 KWh in just FIVE DAYS last week.
I called National Grid and the nice woman went over possibilities but even she could not believe the usage. (no Nick, I don't have a grow room)

Those look like waterproof junction boxes put in place to terminate wires for a to be installed dual head spotlight. There could also be PIR (Passive Infra Red) sensor installed in one or both of them, the picture wasn't quite clear enough for me to tell if the boxes were just weathered more on the sides than the bottom (most likely) or if the bottom was some sort of cover for the sensor that could be in there. I am almost certain you'll find it's just terminated wires inside each box so you could install light sockets at a later date.

What the heck is this thing?
I would expect there to be a pair of sockets for spot-lights on
this mount since this is on the side of my house just a few feet
down from the eaves.
There are dual spotlight fixtures already placed on each corner of
the house....
Anyone recognize these things?
