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.

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

Thank you for your information. I wanted to just let you know that this particular spider, (Parson’s), showed up in my house in Southern California. Wow ! Pretty far from the East coast. Welcome to California…..;) Have a nice day.
Got one here on vacation in Asheville, North Carolina. Fast little girl.
