I keep finding these guys in my room and recently in my bed. This morning I've got a bite on my neck, so I'm just curious about the species. I apologize for the iffy photos and appreciate any responses!

This looks like an eastern parson spider, a ground spider in the family Gnaphosidae. These are not dangerous to humans, and unlikely to be responsible for your bite. See http://www.spiders.us/species/herpyllus-ecclesiasticus/ for detailed information.
