The Return of the Spirit (reincarnated?)

OK, I know that title sounds a bit religious (or maybe blasphemous, to some) because I am only talking about…a small creature.

Remember the small spider spirit in our bathroom that I wrote about recently (on May 29, to be precise)?

Well – he’s back. My husband gave a yelp of surprise late last night as we were turning in. (By the way, we are a bit night-owlish these days; please don’t call me before 9:00 a.m., and only then if you must…)

The spider was back, only larger. About twice its previous size, in fact. And now, instead of five legs, it has six and two half legs. Yes, I know that sounds even stranger, but two of the legs are sort of just a suggestion, like they are not fully formed. But his body is fatter. More substantial altogether.

He is in the exact same corner. Motionless, just sitting there. Only at nights. If you go right up to it, it doesn’t move an inch.

I tried again to take a photograph. For what it’s worth, here it is, although it looks so small in the photo. In reality, it seems to dominate the bathroom…

I don’t know what to make of this. After a week or so, we assumed it had died.

But he’s back in town.

The spirit.
