Dear Journal,
Since my summer in Gravity Falls is never normal, I should be getting use to the strange and creepy things that go on here. Right?
NO!
Today was beyond creepy; and I thought gnomes were the strangest things I ever encountered. Remind me when I get home, to throw away my mother's garden gnome. Hopefully she won't notice, but if she asks, I'll just say I "knocked it over by mistake".
I'm getting off task, let's get back to the real reason why I wrote this entry. It all started with a hidden door...
Soos claimed he found a secret door hidden behind the wallpaper in the Mystery Shack. I didn't know what to expect in there. Perhaps it could be where Stan keeps all his attractions. Maybe its somewhere where the old conman hides all his money he received while doing all the tours. Or maybe it's just a normal closet. But again, this is Gravity Falls, and the word "normal" is never present.
When the door was open ajar, Soos, Mabel and I were greeted with a shocking discovery. Inside the room held life-like wax figures. Why would my great uncle have this collection? Are these secretly all of his friends since he doesn't necessarily have any? I mean, they can't move and their mouths are immobilized, so they're kind of stuck with him.
After grunkle Stan scared the heck out of the three of us, he began to tell the overview of his wax figures. They were one of his most popular attractions, until he forgot all about them. Some of them were Genghis Khan, Sherlock Holmes, Larry King, even Shakespeare! I was surprised that he put them all in storage.
Anyways, he was about to unveil Wax Abe Lincoln, yet he melted due to the exposure of the sunlight. Grunkle Stan was disappointed, but not for long. Mabel sprung up and decided to build him a new wax figure; after all, she is a wiz with arts and crafts; just look at all the sweaters she made herself!
Once ideas were tossed and consulted with others, Mabel finally hatched an idea; a waxed replica of Stan. When it was revealed to our great uncle, he loved it so much that he reopened his wax figure collection. Either that, or he wanted more money in his pockets.
When the re-opening ceremony took place, it turned out he only got people to come because he claimed he was serving free pizza. Hey, I would have jumped for pizza, yet he already bribed me to hand out tickets with Wendy. Heh, that's the easiest twenty dollars I ever made.
Stan seemed to have a connection with his new wax figure. It was odd though; seeing my uncle talking to a replica of himself. Am I sure this wasn't all in my head.
Moving on; Mabel and I haven't been upstairs for ten minutes when we hear out uncle screaming. Turns out, wax Stan got decapitated. How could that have happened? Is he doing this just as a joke? To get a good laugh out of it? I studied him for a moment to see if there'd be any change in facial expression, but none occurred. He was so distraught, he even called the cops! Uh, hello? IT'S A WAX FIGURE!
Mabel was more upset. All of her hard work she done for her uncle, chopped up to smithereens. I felt bad for her; no one tangles with my sister's craftsmanship. NO ONE. So, I decided to help find this head, and bring the criminal who murdered the wax figure to justice. I was determined to find the answer.
After technically wasting our time interviewing, observing, and jumping to conclusions, none of the townsfolk seemed guilty of the murder. Even with our found evidence: Shoe prints in the carpet, an axe behind grunkle Stan's chair, come on, cut us some slack. Where was the answer?
Turns out, it was right under our noses.
It was the Wax Figures!
I know, I know. Who would believe that actual cursed wax figures would come to life, and physically try to murder another one of its kind, or its owner since they were locked away from the outside world?
Mabel and I would.
Luckily, we were able to kill them all by a warmer temperature, such as fire or candlelight. I almost went in a full body cast after fighting Wax Sherlock Holmes on the roof of the Mystery Shack. Because of my horrible aiming, Mystery Shack turned into Mystery Hack. Yeah, the 'S' kind of fell off the sign. My bad.
Anyway, Mabel and I banished all the wax figures and we were able to retrieve the missing head of wax Stan. Grunkle Stan was thrilled with our accomplishment, and happy we solved the case. However, I couldn't tell if the smile was directed by us, or when sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland spewed hot coffee in each others faces, and crashed the car into several trashcans.
Eh, what the heck? We all thought that was hilarious.
So, creepy little gnomes, a fake lake monster and cursed waxed figures. What else is there to explore in this mysterious town of Gravity Falls?
Well, I guess I'll just wait for the supernatural to come to me, like it has been doing.
