Thus I argue, Preston and Auntie Wispers both use bells to control thier children, therefore since not only that but there are other silarities it is a reference. First, Season 2 of Gravity Falls was finished before Over the Garden Wall. Second, someone being conditioned to a bell is not an original idea that one show can have and all other instances have to be allusions to that show. Third, we can have all the reason to believe it's an allusion, but it's too vague. There aren't any other OTGW similarities in that episode, so there's no reason to believe that this is an allusion.
