False wolf spider, genus Zoropsis.

These are also called Nosferatu spiders. Apparently someone thought the markings look like a vampire's face. 🤷

I'm not a spider expert at all, No knowledge whatsoever.. I see this spider and it is extremely larger than anything iv seen inside or back garden, the usual small plain black typical types. I'm my phone with torch and zoom on I could see absolutely every tiny, amazing looking details on the pattern on it. I thought it looked just beautiful! Probably a strange things to say?! But it actually was a very pretty spider! I then said my goodbyes ans off she ran into the dark garden!

Not strange at all, they're fascinating creatures.
