Can anyone please identify this spider. It doesn't look like a brown recluse, but I can't find anything on this spider. Every year I get a ton of them in my house and under my house and I see alot of them out in the woods near the creek and ponds near my house. I also tend to get bitten by them sometimes during the year; but they don't do much to me.

Cellar spider (Pholcidae); harmless - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pholcidae
Those seen in the woods near water more likely are in a different family -
