Did it look like this?
This is a Giant House Spider.
Relatively harmless to humans and keeps the more dangerous spiders out.
Here is some tips that I found on a website.-Take a deep breath, and pick up the closest object to you that is hard, flat and smooth (to make sure that the spider doesn't get in a crevice, depending on the size).
-If the spider is on the ceiling, clear the floor directly underneath where the spider is. You can put something (like a large pan) under the spider in case it falls.
-Go back and get prepared for some fast acting! You will need to keep that hard flat object close by or in your hand as you are spraying the spot where the spider is.
Spray the spider for as long as it takes for it to be weighted down by the liquid.
-If the spider is on the wall or floor, use the hard flat object to whack it where it stands, and be sure that it is squished, because spiders are sturdier than flies or roaches.
-If the spider is in its web, use a vacuum cleaner with a long nozzle to quickly suck the spider in. Let the vacuum run for a few seconds to make sure the spider is not still in the nozzle.
Spiders will have to return to their web sooner or later. I think...
Good luck.
Fear is the obstacle!
