14 Legged Spider type creature?

Newcastle, United Kingdom

Hey, I was shocked to see what looked like a spider type creature, with seven pairs of legs; it seemed to be spitting at us. (Well, my hysterical girlfriend said it did, and admittidley she did have a rash on her arm, but I'm skeptical.)

I took pictures of it, looked at them; then got panicked, and disposed of it out the window swiftly.

I hope I can get answers, it really freaked us out. And just to clarify, no; they are not shadows of the legs, I have multiple angled pictures, and I saw it up close.

Many thanks!

This is a spider in the family Pholcidae; likely a Pholcus sp. They do not spit, and harmless to humans (their jaws are too small to penetrate human skin). See http://tinyurl.com/y47tud for more information.
