My Planar 25 has a Poltergeist - Seriously, Help

I went to go play a record. I put the stylus down and all I heard was a "Sooshing" noise comming from the left channel no music at all. I lifted the stylus up and the noise DID NOT go away, still "Shoooshing" with the arm in its rest position. Then I shut the motor off, the noise went away slowly as the platter slowed down. Turned the motor back on again and I was in business playing music like nothing had happened.

Holy crap! Can anyone come up with an explanation for this one?

All my cartridge connections were intact.

Also, I can't recreate the problem.

Thanks guys, this one is weird, I know
