Default LM7812 semiconductor has zero volts in but still measures 12.12 volts out?

This LM7812 is in a TV power supply without any raster or sound.
When I power on and test the voltage input at pin 1 I measure no
voltage there but on checking pin 2 (output) I get 12.12volts.
My question is: how can that be? where is the voltage coming from when
the input is not there?
Thanks to anyone who might be able to eplain this one.

Where do you get the ground from for your multimeter?
Try checking the voltage between pins 1-2 (this is the input voltage)
and pins 2-3 (output voltage)
