Does anyone else wonder if maybe the thing might not be there when whomever is going gets there? What I'm saying is what if they get there find nothing because the janitor swept away the most valueable clue in the game? How do we know FOR CERTAIN that there will be something waiting there for us?
I'm just asking? But should the people here in Florida be looking for anything?

I also emailed the curator to see if he knows anything about this game and if he has nay clues. What the heck? I'll post if he answers me.
I won't maka a move until you have heard a reply, but it looks like I can go on Thursday. It is actually only a 2.5 hour drive from my house.
For some reason I am unable to save the map to my computer, does anyone know where I can download one from? It looks like a UTM map with USA borders drawn in bold and state borders drawn in bold dotted lines. I think that the borders are were drawn in by hand as well, Minnesota's borders are to sloppy...
The UTM coordinates for Fergus Falls are: 14T 719032 5129551, the numbers on the map are 71.89 ad 12.68, so I believe that the numbers circled on the map are UTM coordinates. I guess if I go I will bring by GPS. Problem is, I do not know what UTM system was used when this map was made.

Harry - can you right click on the map in the first post in this thread and save the picture to your computer as a jpeg?
On another topic -- rumors have been floating around that the movie crew would be back to Weirton soon. Today a couple of people were posting 'No Parking' signs. So I guess it's true.

Harry I wouldn't hold my breath on an answer from the curator. I'll post if I get one but don't count on it. If you are that close and it wouldn't be an inconvenience then I say Godspeed. What's the worst they can do? Have the place fenced off? And, if that's the case then the clue most likely will be close but not necessarily inside.
As for the third indicator I think it was more of a clue to reinforce the FFSH building and the tower. The drawings are exactly like the windows. I cnnot see any other reason. Yet, the symbols beneath the FFSH initials are confusing. What do they mean? Are they just doodles done out of the periods between the initials? And what exactly is the symbol in front of the FFSH initials? I think it's a # but not quite. Perhaps it's an indicator or marker symbol to look for at the hospital. Or, if the building is open maybe indcating the third floor.
If you go i'd be cautious but open minded. You never know what to expect.

3rd floor pics...

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!
Since were talking about the potential of the 3rd floor playing a role, this is a link to some pics from the same blog the initial spiral staircase photo was collected, just of her adventures exploring the 3rd floor underneath that staircase. She seems to have plenty of photos of FFSH throughout...

So this hospital theory seems to be panning out even more I found this website http://www.fergusphotos.com/photos/north/rtc/, and as you can see there are actual tunnels underneath the thing. So one could assume that this is good for story involvement.

Are we sure laurapalmer813 is out of game?
Livejournal does allow backdated postings and I found a strange coincidence:
These photos are posted on 01/12 (2007). The staircase is the 3rd photo of the fifth album of the hospital. The poster's name is laurapalmer 813. In numberical terms: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13.
Should we attempt to contact her? She also mentions an explorer named "Josh from Alberta" in previous albums...

I think the livejournal entries are very ARG-like in the way they're written. Under the photo of the staircase is written:
"The spiral stairs go up into the tower. They never let us go up there. The guy from fergusphotos.com has been up there though."
Which to me seems like a strange thing to write in a journal. Also, in all the pictures of the guy named Josh, he's obscured or silhouetted, whereas other people in the photos are quite obvious (and seldom named).
Then when you go to Fergusphotos.com there is a link in the middle of one of the photo pages (photos>north>public) that says:
">>> Click here for our special section on the Fergus Falls Regional Treatment Center <<<"
That also seems a bit obvious and convenient. Whether that's because it's all part of the ARG or because the ARG admins chose this building BECAUSE there were so many direct links to it is another question.

I'm sure laurapalmer is OOG. You can surely backdate entries in livejournal. But you cannot backdate all the comments. And 2007 is imho too far for some involvment of a movie, which is produced 2010.

Perhaps it was just the confirmation bias hard at work.

In the third link of roys, the picture with everybody moving except the guy(s on hat) and the girl to the left(Hottie )...in the background, behind the guy, on the electrical box there is a "S8" on it and to the right looks like a metal cabinet of sorts....I think that if this were in game, it would be a clever clue to hint at that there is more of the super 8 footage from long ago in the metal cabinet to the right or even in the electrical box??? but it seems oog with loads of coincidences...be cool if this was in game and that was actually josh!!!...I cant wait till sunday...I hope its a new trailer and we can finally mount the device so we can get a glimpse of the old footage recovered of this new energy source/monster??? (dont matter really just throw us a frikken bone) like that one guy that was supposedly part of team jj and he gave us all those clues on another site, maybe he was being real? ehhh probably not...

Circle chain on the map This Pic one one from the filcker pages in a previous post If there are more Circles like this It MIGHT (who knows) explain the Chain looking object under FFSH on the map ... Just a thought.
Also I am in MN but FF is about 175 from me I would be more than will to go but between gas prices, and weather I would need a really good reason to make the trip.
Description
Circles under FF SH??
