This week on The Texas Bucket List, we gear up for Halloween to bring you some extra spooky places to add to your list.

First up, we pop on over to Thurber, a ghost town that is all that’s left of a Texas brick manufacturing industry. Who were the people that were forced to leave this place? More importantly, what did they do with their deceased loved ones that they had to leave behind?

Looking for a place that adds a little paranormal to your dining experience? The Auntie Skinner’s Riverboat Club in Jefferson delivers you the chillingly delicious Dive Bar Burger. Just don’t get caught on the staircase after hours, because you might just come face-to-face with the resident ghost, George.

Get in the spirit of Halloween listening to some country-soul swamp-funk, “Devil’s Song,” performed by the band Shinyribs.

If you haven’t had enough of the eerie and unnatural we stop at the National Museum of Funeral History located in north Houston. As the only funeral history museum in the nation, this museum features exhibits on famous figures from presidents to Marilyn Monroe. We can guarantee you won’t be bored stiff when you come for a visit!

This week on The Texas Bucket List, we’ve got birds, burgers, blues, and big ol’ trains!

We start things off just a stones throw from downtown Austin at the Austin Nature and Science Center.  If you’re looking to explore the environment, this  is the perfect place to visit with the kids.  A nature oasis on the edge of town, there’s no better place for hands-on, interactive fun and learning to introduce your children to environmental sciences.

We love a restaurant with a unique background, and the Dubl-R in Waco definitely fits the bill. Come and have your senses rooting and raving with a taste of the R&R Burger. Stacked with layers upon layers of delicious ingredients, this is a burger that you don’t want to miss.

Ready your soul for some Texas blues rock by singer Blue Louie performing his song, “Weeble Walkin.”

And will close things out with a visit to a long-standing train depot in Ennis that happens to be a museum.  Just a few generations ago, it was known as the place where the railroads and cotton fields meet. Once the main stop between Dallas and Austin, this station now serves as a testament to the history and culture of the people of Ennis.
