I have a theory that might just be as crazy as the old man but hear me out:

I think that Old Man McGuket is the author of 1, 2 and 3. As the author he may believe that someone was watching him and in order to hide pretended to be crazy, or was driven mad by Gravity falls.

Further more, little out there theory, I believe he was born with a deformity that caused him to be born with six fingers on his right hand and used that as his symbol of authorship of the books. When he went into hiding I believe he cut two of his fingers off to hide his authorship.

Finally there is the Bandage theory that started all of this and I agree with it, I suspect that Quentin Trembly will return and confirm this. Finally there was the mention of his death in season 2, and given his age and the fact that he already survived being eaten by a dinosaur nothing short of old age will do.
