I get home last night and my roommate is walking her dog and looks so spooked. She immediately tells me to not go up the stairs because there is a huge spider on the stairs and that when she saw it, she was paralyzed and had to make the brave decision to jump over it since her dog had already passed it.

My first thought is that she is overreacting and it’s a daddy long legs or something. I went up the stairs - camera ready - and saw it and became paralyzed myself. My heart started racing - this was by far the largest spider I had ever seen. I couldn’t even bring myself to take a picture of it, I was so scared.

Thankfully we have another set of stairs, so we didn’t have to confront the spider again. However, the spider totally confronted me in some nightmares last night. I drew this and have it placed outside my roomie’s door so that we don’t forget this day.
