Insect and Spider Identification: Exactly what is this bug?, 1 by VaMtnDude

I live in the woods and have always seen a few of these around, but there seems to be more of them this spring. This one is about half an inch long but sometimes they get bigger than that. They don't seem to be nocturnal or scurry rapidly when you turn the lights on like household roaches do. I see them most often down in the basement, but I caught this one upstairs. In general, bugs don't usually bother me too much, but I recently found one of these crawling up my pants leg and one even *inside* my clothes last week! Talk about a total freak-out! It's making me creep and itch all over again now just thinking about it! So are they anything to be concerned about or does this just happen to be a "good" year for them?
