CLOSED: Cricket? if so, what kind?

Cincinnati, OH(Zone 6a)

My son seen a couple of these in his house in the fall. He says it is HUGE, but I'm guessing around the size of the common black cricket or maybe a little larger.

He took 2 photos.

I see all types of crickets in my garden and even in the basement, but not this one.

Thanks for any help!

They do look a bit strange. But, then, so do I. LOL

Who REALLY does not look strange if you look close enough? : )

Strange, indeed. ^_^

These sometimes also are called 'sprickets' by folks who think they look like a cross between a spider and a cricket... :-)
