Probably a daddy longleg. They're 100% completely harmless, probably the least harmless of all arachnids.. No reason to kill it.

have a look here - it's German but the pics are better than in the English one (there's a link to the English version on the left)

Daddy Longleg - as stated before completely harmless.
There are also spiders which look very similar.

I think it sounds like a daddy long leg spider. I just killed one of those myself, with bathroom cleaner spray, and then i whacked him with a wooden loofah brush. The spider you described sounds just like it. They are poisenous but have such tiny mouths that they can't bite you, so they're pretty harmless.

The 8 legged creature is dead so don't worry about it anymore.
