Creepy story. This guy sounds like a recluse who might be a widower who's a daddy long legs. He should have gone on the web instead. Oh my cob, this topic bites and that's all I have to say on the fly.

LOL.. This gets me all fired up, but when unexpected visitors like that crawl up on you, it's a hairy situation. When the smoke clears, I hope he got the spider, but if it's still hanging around, he should call an exterminator, or stomp on it, instead of the fire department.
