Briggs Quantum 6hp won't shut off

Briggs Quantum 6hp on Craftsman push mower would not shut off when I let go of the safety. It has been slowly getting to the point where it would not shut off right away, but then this is the first time it kept running.

Here is where it gets weird. I pulled the plug wire in an attempt to kill the mower, and it ran without the wire attached! (play Twi-light Zone music).

Can anyone explain this to me? Can a bad kill switch do this?

BTW, this mower is 14 years old and has been indestructible. This engine has been incredible.
