    Oh my gosh, I have a spider story. For background, I grew up in Florida and have a near phobic fear of palmetto bugs.

    So one night I’m sleeping and jolt awake at that scuttling sound of palmetto legs on drywall. I throw on the light, terrified but see there is no palmetto bug, just a really big spider on the wall. I turned off the light and fell right back to sleep.

    Happened to me as a kid. This huge spider came crawling over my shoulder, but so engrossed was I in the show I was watching, I didn’t notice the monstrosity until it was right in front of my face. I sat up and tried to scream, but no noise came out. I didn’t go into that room again for days.
