We had hobo spiders when we lived in Haysboro too. The area is infested with them (something to do with the water table and lots of wood piles in the area). And yes, they’re terrifying. Standing at the top of the stairs I would sometimes spot one scuttling across the basement floor and grab my hockey stick to deal with it.
The best was when we got traps, and you’d find two or three stuck to one. We had a trap in the basement bathroom - guests would shriek when they discovered its contents.
