I agree, and it's about that time of year!
I don't know if you found this indoors, but where I am in St. Louis Cheiracanthium look just like this and come inside by the dozens at the first sign of autumn. Careful because they do bite - it's not "dangerous", but it does not feel good!

Yes, it was
in my attic bedroom and I found another one up there today. I try to never handle spiders and such because I know that they can bite if they feel threatened. I don't want them in the house, though.

Sac spider.
Certainly resembles one of the Cheiracanthium species, but pretty sure there are similar genera. Something in that family at any rate. Very nice images.
