No - I don't think the geocaching site has anything to do with the ARG. I'm just saying it is common in the Fergus Falls area and has included containers left on the FFSH grounds - so the it wouldn't be unheard of for there to be an ARG clue left there as well.

hmm this map kind of looks like the route in the trailer where the car gets on the train tracks and rams it

I was just thinking that exact same thing. I'm now scouring googlemaps and trying to see if I can find a similar looking intersection or piece of land like in the trailer. (unlikely, I know)...

Also, there is an airport (Einar Mickelson Field) in Fergus Falls, right near some train tracks. Any chance something could have been flown there and transferred onto a train for the rest of it's trip? Someone could have known about the transporting of said item and decided to prevent it from making it to its destination. Maybe that person broke out of the Fergus Falls Hospital. Maybe that person was placed there against their will to shut them up. And that person left a clue behind before sacrificing their life to prevent the transport of this dangerous item. Ok, now I'm just babbling. Laughing

The black marker line divides US and Canada. The right half is the shore line

Ok, I know I'm going way out on a limb here... but I've re-watched the first few seconds of the trailer where it shows the train traveling from a distance. I've also looked at the satellite images from google maps of the area around FFSH... It looks like the area...or maybe my brain just wants it to. But anyway, there is an intersection near the hospital and the train tracks that could very well be the intersection where the truck gets onto the tracks. (right by the intersection of W Fir Ave and N Tower Rd). If you watch the trailer, the truck would be coming off of W. Fir Ave and onto N. Tower Rd, towards the tracks.

Also, from the very first shot in the trailer, the slightly more lit set of buildings to the distance on the right are in the same spot that FFSH is in proximity to this intersection and train line.

Can someone else look and tell me if I'm grasping at straws? lol

One more hint to Harry and another great people, who want go there. Actually, if there is something planned for an ARG, there must be 1) PM observers [like Rocket Mountaineer said] and 2) the staff (at least reception) should be informed by PMs about people who will visit perhaps next days this location with strange interests.

PMs are interesting on us finding their clues and they should make it easier, if something will go wrong. (I recall on my first ARG live event, as I was in hotel and reception was involved; I know, I sucked, because I waited and waited till something happens, so reception gave me a hint like "it's OK, don't worry, we are informed"). This atmosphere of "informness" will help.

In another words, if there are reception and they have no clue (or there is nobody/ or no strange looking observer), in this case I advice to be cautious about the correctness of our location.

But don't let you irritate by this my explanation, we will follow you, and you will be our hero Smile

If you have possibility to tweet from the location tour, it would be awesome.

I personally think, this location is correct, and we should check out that spiral stairs: perhaps some sheets of papers, notes on the wall or something other?

So, what have we decided to do? Email Josh about the location of the "3rd", or get an ARG'er based near that location to go there?

In the movie the train crash happened near the town of Lillian, OH. I know we're asked to suspend disbelief at times, but probably not enough to think some kids in OH out having fun with their Super 8 camera would be able to capture anything going on in Minnesota on their film. So FFSH is probably not near the train crash.

It would take me almost 2 days driving time back and forth to get there. That's a no-can-do at this time for me. If it were half the distance, I probably would've been there.

Sometimes whatever is left as a clue is meant for the person to take and keep. If there is anything, I guess you can tell when you get there what to do with it -- just let us know what it is!!!

So does the 3rd refer to the 3rd floor? (Interesting that it's the one with all the curtains).

Good Job on this you guys, I was away from the internet for most of the weekend, sad I missed out on this finding!
