Spotting

Description:

Spider I found in my bathroom. It was about nickel size counting the legs. It seemed to have been a dark golden brown color. Not too sure because I freaked out, lol.

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:

Or maybe a male False Black Widow:

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.
