I was re-watching the prison movie Shawshank Redemption, and I got to
a certain part where the main character, Andy, is talking to his
friend, Red. He says, "Red, if you ever get out of here, do me a
favor. There's this big hayfield up near Buxton [Maine]....Got a long
rock wall with a big oak at the north end. Like something out of a
Robert Frost poem. It's where I asked my wife to marry me.... Promise
me, Red. If you ever get out, find that spot. In the base of that
wall you'll find a rock that has no earthly business in a Maine
hayfield. A piece of black volcanic glass. You'll find something
buried under it I want you to have."
Red replies, "What? What's buried there?"
Andy answers, "You'll just have to pry up that rock and see."
Later on, when Red gets out of prison, he goes and finds the spot.
Under the rock he finds a box.
I won't tell you what was inside, or spoil the rest of the movie for
you if you haven't seen it (and you should see it; it's one of the
best I've ever seen). If you have seen the movie, you'll remember.
I suppose this qualifies as a "word-of-mouth" clue, doesn't it?
Anybody up in Maine want to put together a "Shawshank" letterbox that
fits the clues from the movie? There's already a box in CT
called "HOPE -- The Shawshank Redemption" but it doesn't quite follow
the movie's clues.

I love that movie. It's one of my favorites. No stamp though, so I did
not think of it as a letterbox. I really love the story in the book
too, one of Stephen King's best, iMO.
Personally I would looooooooovvve to find a box like that, and with
the same contents!

Perhaps put one inside the actual prison in Mansfield Ohio?

I hawled out my GoogleEarth to look for "a big hayfield up near
Buxton with a long rock wall and a big oak at the north end" but I
think you'd need to drive it. Has anybody tried? I don't see a
geocache listed there, either.
