Camel Spiders
Could this really be true? It is still listed as undetermined on Snopes.

When I first moved to DC, I lived in the basement of a house in Cleveland Park and in the fall months, almost every day I would find and kill a jumping spider. I called them African Jumping Spiders of Death, or African JSODs for short. But they were these frightening, nasty things that would come right at you when you tried to kill them. They could jump like 5 feet, so if you missed them the first time, you were in trouble. I had trouble sleeping after one landed on my forehead in the middle of the night. So I kinda got a problem with big spiders.
