I remember as a kid watching arachnophobia. Pretty scary film for a kid.
My sister, who was scared of spiders, for some reason watched it. Went to bed that night, then in the middle of the night woke up screaming. She said she woke up to see 2 big spiders on her pillow.
None of us believed her, and put it down to a nightmare due to the film. However, my Dad did a search of her room, and sure enough found 2 big spiders under her bed.
My brother also once told me I had a big spider on my back. Again, I didn't believe him (thinking about it, there wasn't much trust in my family really
), until he brushed it off and it scurried across the floor. Also had one fall off a towel and crawl up my leg in the shower once.
I've never liked them myself to be honest. Wouldn't say I'm scared of them, but if I do get asked to put one out I usually use a glass, just don't like the idea of picking them up.
