Default starter problem ( MAJOR )

I was idling yesterday and the starter started making sounds as if I was starting the car, I turned the key off but the car kept running, so I disconnected the battery. Reconnected the battery and the car tried to start with the key turned off.. WTF is going on here??? its a 91 LS 400

My dad use to have a Ford Astrovan.
And we would be driving and he takes out the key and were still running.
Kinda offtopic.
