(I really don't know that just pops in my head) Then when the author was trapped, Old man Mcgucket quitted the project then Stan started to rebuild it using the journals.

I don't think so. The author wrote pages about the Blindeye Society, so whatever happened to make McGucket quit wasn't the author going through the portal.

Some poeple think that McGucket took a test trip through the portal and came back, but saw something on the other side that wasn't good. Probably not Bill, as he was summoned during the second journal, and McGucket quit during the third journal.

Actually, a sudden thought just occured to me. The portal is in all three journals. What if somehow, directly or indirectly, creating the portal is what makes Gravity Falls such a hub for supernatural activity. Maybe, some of the creatues even came through the portal, and some are just attrated to it by instinct. Just an idea that would cool to discuss. Feel free to try and support/shoot down this theory; I'd love to see it develop.
