Your description is quite vague, and this may not be a spider at all.
my best guess is an arachnid called a solifugid, or sun spider
(camel spider)
or could even be an insect called the jerusalem cricket or potato bug.
both are harmless, but both can deliver a painful bite if trapped against
the skin.
Sun spiders are rather quick, where the cricket is rather docile.

I don't know but did you try looking up spiders online. Or do you know what continent to look up spiders under, like north american spiders.Â
sounds like some kind of Tarantula but i would know more if you put your location as in state or or region
Good Luck!!!
something i wouldn't mess with
