A woman who hates spiders says they helped save her from a house fire.
Danielle Vigue, 18, says she awoke early on July 17 to find spiders in her room and started killing them. When more showed up, she says she went across the hall and got into bed with her 15-year-old sister, Lauren.
"At first there were five, they were all around the light fixture," Danielle Vigue told The Saginaw News. "I hate spiders, they freak me out."
A fire apparently was smoldering in the attic of the home about 145km northwest of Detroit, USA.
A few hours later, Vigue's mother, Debra, and eight-year-old sister, Shelby, smelled smoke. When the family opened the door to the room Danielle Vigue had earlier left, they found it was on fire.
"I will never kill another spider again," Danielle told WNEM-TV in Saginaw.
Richland Township fire chief Gary Wade was surprised by Vigue's story.
"I've never heard of spiders saving someone from a fire before," Wade said.
