I found this spider on my bedroom ceiling. I have never seen one that looks like this and wondering if you have any info. It has a weird white color stripe on head and back. It was roughly about the size of a nickel. This was in the state of Vermont.
Signature: Thank you

The harmless Parson Spider, Herpyllus ecclesiasticus, has very distinctive markings.  You can read more about the Parson Spider on BugGuide.
