Wierd... Why would they paint the borads like that? If you abandone a place, why spend time on painting the boards on the windows?

Originally the boards are painted like that so that they dont LOOK abandoned, as an attempt to keep the kids from going in and tearing the place up :)

I do not know what's the climate like over there, but my in some parts of my country people have special boards for heavy winter conditions. Especially for now storms? Could these boards be used for something like that and the owner just installed them on windows rather than banging nails?

Yeah, the painted window shades were some genius' idea to make the houses look occupied. Seems to have backfired - just added to the weird factor, which attracted even more visitors. Ooops.

The boards on the windows are painted black with shades painted on them, to look like the window isn't boarded up.

I remember back in '99 or so when my best friend first told me about that place and how eerie it was that the windows were painted black and had fake white "shade cords" on them. I was living up in Canada @ the time, and he had to take pics of the houses and send them to me
