Again, playing catchup...

The junker adjacent to the barn appears to be a 1958 Cadillac 62 hardtop, the rear passenger door of which has a pronounced curve to fit the slope of the roofline:
The door wouldn't fit on Wrecto-1, and it would be uneccesary when they have the old girl's door to-hand.

There were at least two notable ones.
The first was the one talking about frequencies, detailed here:
Link - People were pretty skeptical as it wasn't really lining up with what we were seeing in the set leak photos. We can now conclude this "leak" is complete terror dog shit.
The second appears to be talking about the Ghostbusters having gone national, Egon getting trapped in a portal, and Ray journeying to Summerville, detailed here:
Link - Some bits this guess/"leak" gets right: Callie moves into the old farmhouse with her kids, that it was evidently owned by Egon, finding the Wrecto-1 (not a huge stretch), a working PKE, and that Phoebe brings the Trap to Grooberson.
What the guess/"leak" is less right about is the apparent state of the company, just how decrepid the equipment is (one detailed "scene" suggests none of the equipment is functional until Ray arrives and retools it - the trailer clearly shows the gear is operation pretty much as soon as the kids start fooling around with it), the second "leak" seems to suggest that the major paranormal activity seems to kick off from the farmhouse, whilst the trailer indicates the primary action is centralised around the mine and its access shaft.
Those are the two I was aware of, I'm not aware of any additions... But if there were, could someone chip in with what they were?

I don't know... Let's consider our own history. We know about the Watergate scandal, the killings at the Munich Olympics, the Piper Alpha explosion, the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
Would kids the same age range as Phoebe and Trevor know much about any of those topics? Even half of them?
There was also probably a wide range if disbelief and discrediting done by the news organisations outside of New York, chocking it up to something like a new wave version of the
War of the Worlds broadcast, a bunch of uptight New Yorkers getting into a panic over something.
If the company didn't go global or international and was landlocked in New York, chances are most of the rest of the country wouldn't have taken them seriously... If they'd even heard of them.
Grooberson on the other hand, he's clearly what accounts for a ghosthead in that universe. He's a member of the fandom following that band almost nobody else has heard of. He knows the name "Ghostbusters" and remembers them because he was lucky enough to be around in that moment and have that particular interest in him which the Ghostbusters captured.
How many of us have talked about something we're passionate about, only to draw a blank look from those around us? Hell, how many of us have talked about Ghostbusters in the past, only to draw a black look from those around us?

It was, separate photos to emerge from the set showed a truck emblazoned with the "Shandor Mining Co." logo, a structure displaying the signage "Mining museum & memorial", and a separate minecart memorial on one of "Summerville"'s streets, complete with the "Shandor Mining Co." logo.
