Perth, Australia - A woman froze in shock when she discovered a creepy creature in her shower.

When Cathy Cox walked into her bathroom, she was greeted with the heart-stopping sight of a giant eight-legged creature on the ceiling.

The woman, who lives in Perth, Australia, took pictures of the monster spider and posted the images to the Australian spider identification page on Facebook. Although she had a hunch the specimen was a Huntsman spider, she wanted to ask the community for advice.

"I have what I believe to be a beautiful gravid Huntsman in my shower. She is out of harms way but should I relocate her? FYI heart racing at the thought of the latter," Cox wrote, adding two pictures.

Many users shivered at the sight of the spider in the shower.

Most recommended that the Australian woman remove the creepy creature somehow. The hot steam from the water could cause it to slide down the wall, some users suggested.

"I would suggest to her to move somewhere more cozy. I cannot imagine more horrifying things than her getting a little steamy, loosing her footing and dropping onto your shoulder on the shower," one commenter wrote.

Others were terrified of the Huntsman's incredible size, especially in the close-up shots. "It looks like it's the size of a basketball. I would not touch. He has claimed your shower. You can use the hose to wash now," one person wrote. One even compared the animal to an elephant, juxtaposing them in a photo.

Huntsman spiders may look scary, but they are not dangerous to humans. Lately, they have been giving Australians nasty surprises at an alarming rate.

In the comments section, Cox reported that she succeeded in using a large jar to relocate the spider.
