It looks like the kinds of spiders I often find in my backyard...I don't know what they are but they are creepy!
I don't think it's a Ghost Spider. It looks alot like the Recluse and somewhat resembles the male False Widow. I remember it crawled low to the surface with it's legs spread out wide. And it was like a golden brown. If it is either one of these spiders, I'm just trying to figure out if there are more here.
It could be a Ghost Spider or a Recluse: http://bugguide.net/node/view/31531 http://bugguide.net/node/view/38439 Or maybe a male False Black Widow: http://bugguide.net/node/view/458335/bgimage
I don't think it's a Wolf Spider. I compare my pic to a lot of pics online. It's similar but not a Wolf Spider.
I hope you didnt touch it! It is very poisonous kind of spider
