I've seen this exact bug!
I live in Pennington, NJ (app. 20 minutes from Newtown, PA, where the images provided by Lauren come from). I've been wondering what kind of bug this is. I have one in my basement. It is quite large, mostly walks (like a large spider), but jumps quite high (like a grasshopper), if startled. The one in my basement is app. the size of a newborn child's fist, legs included.

Cave cricket
Sometimes make their way into basements and animal burrows. Since they have no wings they can't chirp.
