15 Things Hidden in Gravity Falls' Journal 3

One of the core items from the Gravity Falls series was the coveted Journal 3. Dipper Pines used this coveted book to uncover the mysteries of Gravity Falls and years later, we are still uncovering some of the biggest secrets!

Have you read the book? Seen the show? Uncovered all the secrets? Well, come on a journey with us as we dive deep into Journal 3 and reveal a lot of hidden secrets, moments, and revelations from the show. Through both seasons of Gravity Falls on the Disney Channel, we got to know so much about Dipper Pines...except his first name. Fans speculated for years what his real name could be, and it turns out Journal 3 would be the source of the definitive answer. The cover of Journal 3 is as iconic as the contents inside it. A six-fingered hand is paired with the number 3 on the front and this is the cover that we got in the actual printed version of the journal as well. But it wasn’t always intended this way. The best part of seeing Journal 3 on episodes of Gravity Falls was being able to pause the show and really take in all the details displayed on the pages. Well, for anyone pausing scenes in the episode “Tourist Trapped”, you would get a pretty surprising glimpse at something in the journal which should have never been there. Watch to find out all of these Gravity Falls journal secrets and dive deep into the show!

There *was* a "black light" edition of Journal 3 with all sorts of hidden secrets. And you really did need a black light to read them. It was a limited edition, so I don't know if you'll be able to find any now, but it was a real thing.

Teacher: So what did you guys do this summer?
Dipper: i defeated a demon and saved a whole town while me and my sister protected 3 supernatural journals

You missed the creepy note from bill chipper taped on the bipper info page. It basically says that bill was going to throw dippers body of the water tower, killing dipper. The the last line of the note said “wanna join him shooting star” in journal 3

“Have you seen the show?”

*Yes, I have watched it about 5 times*

I have the black light edition, it is amazing, it has so many different and new tid bits!

Fun fact: Stanford (the real one) actually first appeared in Dreamscapers, when Gideon mentioned Stanford Pines, Bill thinks and shows a picture of the actual Stanford Pines, and then part of his book.

Y'all missed another thing on the ghost pages

When you shine a blacklight on the category 1 ghost, it becomes HOFFIFYING. Vice versa for the category 10 ghost

When Stan took the journal from Dipper in that one episode, Stan made a copy of the whole thing, so he could have one, and Dipper could have one. This means that in the end, Ford and Dipper could both have a copy of journal 3.

I think the real mystery in gravity falls is how does Dipper fit so many stuff in his jacket?!?

Imagine your Dipper or Mabel and the teacher asks you to write an essay about your summer...

[Noxious_T]

i do have journal 3, but understanding the journal involved A TON OF DECODING! so dont buy the journal unless you have time AND the ability to decode it.







and yes, Disney NEEDS to make more journals!

We don't get a season 3, BUT WE NEED A JOURNAL

[rustycottoncandy]

Do you know what would have been creepy? That in the "good-bye" paper Dipper holds, there was a "See you next summer!" or "We'll meet again" signed as Bill Cipher.

A few years later.
People: OKAY! BILL OBVIOUSLY HAD A CRUSH ON DIPPER THATS WHY HE POSSESSED HIM SO WE SHALL NOW SHIP THEM AS BILLDIP.
Me: the frigg?

[basvanbrussel]

Hasn't everyone tasted there own blood when they had a cut or something?

[julianafrith]

I would be down for Hirsch and others to make Dipper's journal, honestly more than a journal two or one. I wish we could see more about Dipper and Mabel's life in California, and life outside of Gravity Falls and if Dipper could find some super-natural anomalies back home.

*Thanos was hidden in the 3rd book all along*

[latenight_pancakes]

Wait does that mean Ford's real name is Dr. Crackpot?!
