This fellow is a member of the Daddy-Long-Legs family (Pholcidae) and
as the name implies, is very commonly found in cellars.

There is now more to the story.

The very night I posted the picture, another one showed up in the other
corner, just sort of swinging around. A few minute later he was
dropping to the floor, apparently told to buzz off.

Next morning they seemed to have reached an agreement and the second one
was ensconced in the opposite corner. Last night the original was
either gone of moved to the new corner.

Amazing what amuses me.
