Search for the Blindeye

SearchForTheBlindeye.com is a Gravity Falls related website that was launched on August 1, 2013. The name is based off the cryptogram deciphered in the end credits sequence of "Gideon Rises." The site is not affiliated with Disney, as stated by Alex Hirsch on his AMA. It is currently unknown who runs the site.

The site
The main page of the website has an animated GIF of Bill Cipher, with a version of the theme song from the credits of "Dreamscaperers," playing on loop in the background. Below the animation is a Combined cipher, which is seen in every image of the following dates, it read "9-21-4-9-22-19-6-18-15-6-5-4." By clicking on the cipher, it decoded to "OCTOBER FIRST." Accordingly, on October first, that cryptogram was removed from the site.

The source code of the page contains an ASCII art image of Bill Cipher. In the letters and numbers comprising the image are messages that have changed every day since its discovery. Words hidden in the image appear to be written by one individual, while cryptograms are written as if snuck in by another. The original writer seems to not want the cryptographer to get his messages out.

The bill.gif has a new alt text "13-15-4-4-15-19-5!" Which is a Combined cipher that decodes to "KITTIES!" On that same source page there is a link to another page that contains "A Forgotten Tale."

"Grembert grabbed at the oddly smooth absence where his ear had been just a moment ago and cursed his luck. 'What the hell is wrong with you witches? Can't you just accept cash or livestock like everyone else?' The witch cackled with glee, as witches are wont to do, and did a wobbly dance of amusement, her bracelets and baubles jangling in a most annoying fashion. 'FOR THE FOOL WHO LISTENS, BUT YET CANNOT HEAR! A PRICE MOST CRUEL, I TAKETH YOUR EAR!'"

"She continued to dance with uncoordinated abandon. Now there were claps involved. She was really getting into it. 'Look,' grunted Grembert, 'you got my ear, you've done your stupid dance, now can I please get what I came here for?' 'You should be thankful!' cautioned the witch, now doing The Cabbage Patch, 'My sister is less charitable than I! She takes hands! And sometimes lesser organs. One ear is a small price to pay for THIS!'"

"The witch reached down her own throat, like, up to her elbow, and pulled out a glowing purple vial. 'That's disgusting!' exclaimed Grembert. 'What?' grunted the witch. 'That thing you did, reaching into your throat. How did you do that?' replied Grembert. 'I'm a witch,' said the witch. 'Now sprinkle this into the eyes of the one you deem worthy. But only use it ONCE, or there will be ironic, horrifying consequences, you hear me?!'"

"'I half-heard you,' muttered Grembert, rubbing his earless stump, and with that he crawled back out of the witch's lair......."

In the "A Forgotten Tale" page, the remixed Gravity Falls theme song is replaced with a burning fire sound. There is a message that says "Such a curious thing..." In addition to another alt text that reads, "21-23-10-25-9-3-16-19-23-6-11-19-10-9-1?" which is a Combined cipher that decodes to "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?"
 * October 2, 2013 - The bill gif. is reverted to its original state. Previous messages have been replaced with "THEY KNEW MY WEAKNESS AND SOME OF IT STARTED TO BE TOLD GOING TO HAVE TO STAY FOCUSED MAKE SURE NOTHING ELSE SLIPS BY" The alt text is back to "DEMON," and above that, in the body of the source code is, "pruh hdfk zhhn" which is a Caesar cipher that decodes to "more each week."
