Hi Rinney. I agree with Mauna. I found a couple sites for Harvestmen in PA. One site only gives the Leiobunum vittatum for PA. <https://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=Eastern-Harvestman> The same site also gives the Leiobunum spp. <https://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=Harvestman> In either case, I think Leiobunum spp. would be a safe classification.

Thanks, wasnt sure what it was because usually when I see them their bodies are more rounded

Hi! It’s a harvestman (Order Opiliones); sorry that I cannot be more specific!
