eurypterids were the big predator of the Early Paleozoic seas and coastal areas; we've got one about 2ft long in our collection here and I've seen in museum collections some that are closer to 6 feet long. So, an 8-footer is not a surprise.
:D
No need to worry, the bug's been dead for more than 250 million years.
