The Lost Diary of Matthew I Carnegie

by Artemis the Rebel

This long-lost diary was found hidden out in the woods. It seems to have been written 30 years ago, by just another resident of Gravity Falls who accidentally unveiled the dark secret of Gravity Falls... and paid the price. (Keep your eye out for secret codes that can all be decoded with the Atbash, Caesar, or Substitution Cipher, some with the Gravity Falls Caesar Cipher itself.)

Entry 1

11/02/1992

I have just begun to keep a diary. Never before have I felt the need, but now, strange and deeply disturbing things have been happening to me. With no close relatives or friends to trust with this information, I must turn to this book.

It all began only the day before. I was out shoveling snow off the roof of my car when, suddenly, all gravity seemed to stop. The snow, the car, everything - including me - rose several feet off the ground. And then, just as quickly as the terrifying phenominon began, it ended, dropping me and all else to the ground. I am scraped, bruised, and perhaps badly traumatized. What does it mean? Was it a near alien abduction? Or was it something else - something even worse? What that might mean, I do not know.

Pouring my troubles into this diary just does not feel like enough. I need real help, not a book- but who can I turn to without being sent to a mental institution? Who would know about what happened to me yesterday? Gravity Falls is a small, sleepy town, full of sleepy, small-town folk. There is surely no one out there who could help me without myself falling into a facility for the psychotic.

Right?
