James, You have just described a psuedoscorpion. They are not rare, usually
found in damp places.. I have found them in bathrooms, and they are quite
harmless. If you found it in your house, and not outside, it was likely
Chelifer cancroides, which is found world wide.. Pretty interesting arachnid
isn't it.
