Texan-tricities (Texas Weirdness)

I am a native Texas and have had my own weird experiences, which I posted under a thread titled Haunted Galveston and some other stuff. But, I live between Galveston and Houston, or did until I moved to university in College Station (I'm the proudest memeber of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of '07, WHOOP!!!)

Anyhow, I think Galveston is in general supposed to be one of the most haunted cities in America because of the 1900 storm that wiped it out and killed 8000 people. Since then, odd things have been happening, like faces appearing on walls, hauntings obviously. My Dad's friend who redently died lived in an old boarding house that was haunted, and sveral priests and ghost hunter people would visit all the time to try to capture photos and drive the ghosts out or whatever. And I, up until a couple of years into high school, could never stay in the city for more than about 2 hours before I would start feeling this strange, weighty heaviness, almost suffocating, which made me nauteous and dizzy and faint headed. For some reason that stopped, and I can actually stay there longer now, but it still gives me a drepressing feeling. Anyhow, just google Haunted Galveston and I'm sure you'll find a LOT of stuff.
 
Stop by - or even stay overnight - at the gas station from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
Fans can now eat and sleep at 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' gas station
The iconic gas station from 1974 film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is offering fans the opportunity to dine and sleep at the spooky highway-side business.

The Gas Station, located at the side of Highway 304 in Bastrop, near Austin, served as a filming location for the horror classic, and is now a restaurant with four cabins available for short-term rentals.

The restaurant also includes a store filled with horror movie merchandise.

The business has a replica of the van from the 1974 film parked out front. ...

Clearly for the tourist market, 'cos us natives know there's plenty of creepy derelict stations in the middle of nowhere you can hang around for free. (I try to avoid them, personally):nails:

Edited to add - fans of weird Texas may enjoy the photography of Noel Kerns, who photographs Texas ghost towns at night.

Captures the spirit of place quite well, IMO.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre house itself is now a family run restaurant, you can also find some nifty earlier urban explorer videos of the place on Youtube before it was fixed up. Here's the restaurant as it is nowadays.
