[The video feed opens up to a ...very clearly staged backdrop with Dipper sitting at a desk with several things laid out around him. There's a few lit candles, a few notebooks. Pens, an ink pot with a quill that he is definitely not using but has it near by for visual interest.]

[He is very clearly hoping to be taken seriously here, so as usual, he is trying too hard. He clears his throat.]




So, hey, Trench, let's talk about ghosts for a second. While it's not super surprising this place might be crazy haunted, based on aesthetic alone, I started noticing an uptick in paranormal activity all around the city about a week ago.

[Dipper holds up a journal where he has drawn out a very nice graph of the raising ghost activity.

Behind Dipper, one of the books on his shelf starts to wiggle free. ]


I wasn't sure what it was at first, because it's not the kind of ghost activity I'm used to dealing with, but the city had apparitions wandering the streets. They weren't very solid and vanished when I touched one, leaving me super cold but otherwise unscathed.

My family couldn't see them, but they were definitely there. Anyway, it's October and I'm sure things will escalate eventually, so I wanted to share with you guys a banishing ritual I've been working on with my uncle. I'll attach it to this post.

I've also been working on-- [That book that's been easing out of the bookcase now just flings itself across the room, crashing into something off screen.]

[Dipper shrieks and whips around.]

[Waits.]

[And then sighs.]


Hey! I'm not talking about banishing you! I'm talking about in the off chance we get vengeful murder ghosts. You know that's a possibility, dude.

[The second book that was on it's way to being pulled out of the shelf stops and then eases its way back into the book shelf. Nothing to see here.]

[Dipper turns back around and continues like nothing weird happened.]


I've also been working on a public record for rituals and spells. A city spell book, of sorts that we can all use. It's only got some of mine in it for right now, but like, feel free to use it. We're still learning a lot about this place so sharing what we learn can only help us all, right?

Also, if anyone needs help with a nasty spirit, hit me up. I've got experience busting ghosts and was kind of the town expert back in Gravity Falls. Stay safe out there, guys.

[Attached to the post is a link to Dipper's Ghost Banishing ritual, as well as how to make the Silver Mirror it calls for. At the bottom there is a link to something called the Sleeper Grimoire which is a public use digital spellbook that the Sleepers have access to add to.]

don't worry if that ever needs upping i'll be the first to tell you

[Dorky friends you can drag are the best!]

oh yeah, me and this other cool lady
she stuck some papers on my sword and i think that made it more powerful

ok sure
just not totally sure if it's the sword being magic or me being cursed
or both


[Being made out of a cursed sword is a weird existence, okay.]
