CLOSED: Need help identifying this spider please

Williamsburg, OH

I'm not sure of the type of spider. I have a barn with aluminum finished siding inside. It's a smaller room in the barn where I've found about 6+ of these guys. There are lots of bugs in the room as I was leaving the light on at night. I'm in more south eastern to central Ohio. I've measured the body at about half inch.

These appear to be an unusually pale variant of a nursery web spider, Pisaurina mira - see http://bugguide.net/node/view/34529/bgimage for an example and http://www.spiders.us/files/pisaurina-mira-eyes-300x300.jpg for the eye pattern.

I was thinking the same thing just wanted a second opinion. I unfortunately eradicated a few last night dude to the confined space I had to be in and my uncertainty. Which I'm sure happens often.... I also stumbled upon this one which I believe is as well a nursery spider?

Looks like a fishing spider in the genus Dolomedes...

I didn't kill this guy as I was able to recognized his pretty quickly. I'm very spider friendly as long as I'm familiar with the type. Haha. Thank you tho!
