I don't have proof! But I'm telling you, last night in our family room we had three GIANT GRANDADDY MASTER spiders crawling only a few feet from us. If Cheetah hadn't tried to eat one, I wouldn't have been alerted of their presence. I bolted from where I was lying and told mom about the invader. At the time, I didn't get a good look at how large the spider Cheetah was playing with. Yet it didn't matter. It was a spider. I was gone before my brain really contemplated of what I saw.
Mom searched the area. She didn't find the spider I witnessed crawling up the wall. However, she did find two HUGE spiders waiting behind the couch for their buddy. She panicked. I didn't panic until one huge spider ran for it. His leg span, from tip to tip, had to be three inches long. Mom sucked him up with the vacuum. He wouldn't have fit in a glass cup. The other lurker was sucked up in the vacuum too before he could try and escape.
For the whole night, mom, dad, and I were on edge. We hadn't dealt with such large spiders in such a small amount of time in... Hell if I know. I couldn't fall asleep until almost one in the morning.
Around five in the morning, I woke up to the sound of a cat pawing at the wall. I awoke mom to tell her Fluffy was batting at something. She shone a light where Fluffy sat and - sure enough - another giant spider hung over the shelf. Again, mom sucked him up with the vacuum cleaner. And again, I didn't fall asleep until an hour later.
When ten o'clock sprung, I was fully awake and ready to start the day with YouTube. I continued to stay cautious; to see if I could spot anymore eight-legged intruders. I didn't see another one until noon. But by some God-given miracle, the spider was a simple house spider.
Nonetheless, I didn't give him the chance of growing into a mutated grandaddy master and sucked him up with the vacuum, also.
Am I sleeping downstairs tonight? I think I will. Maybe.
