"We're on!"

"Oh-Hello. And welcome back to Dipper's Guide to the Unexplained."

Mabel holds up UFO keychain and buzzes it.

"Thank you. Today we investigate Gravity Falls anomaly #132: The Hide Behind!

Dipper reads from Journal 3. "Local lumberjacks tell of a mysterious creature, always just out of sight. Our godfather is in the woods, looking for something else. But meanwhile these photos suggest it might actually be real! Either way, I intend to find out!"

Mabel jumps out at Dipper, "YAAAH! HIDE BEHIND!"

Dipper drops the camera, "AAH! Mabel!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Soon they interview Manly Dan.

"Hide Behind? Oh, he's real alright. REAL AS MY BEARD! He was behind me once; made this sound: tchktchktchktchktchktchk! Mighty spooky if it weren't for Doc saving me from that!"

The tree that Dan's sons are cutting down starts to fall. They run away.

"Daaad!"

"It's comin' down!"

"DADDY'S DOIN' A MOVIE! He's doin' a movie now."

The tree falls on a shack. Later the twins interview Lazy Susan pouring and overflowing a cup of coffee.

"Oh, the Hide Behind is definitely real. He might even be behind me right now! Let me see...Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa—!"

Later, they went to Stan-who keeps verbally denying the paranormal...

"Don't believe every legend you hear, kids. Even if you hang out with Doc, himself. The people in this town are literally the dumbest people in the world. Literally. The Hide Behind's just a rumor. You want a mystery? How about the mystery of why—"

Something runs behind Stan. "EXCUSE ME! SORRY!" shouted the Doctor who was seemingly running after something.

"What the... AH!"

"That's it!"

The Doctor was also seen running after it.

"Hey, we're doin' an interview here! Kid!"

"Dipper!"

"I'm coming for ya. Where is he? Where is he? Doc?"

"Alright. After hours of searching, I've narrowed it down to this tree. Doc, is still after it. I know what you're wondering. How do you catch a creature who's always right behind you? How about...A mirror suit! Nothing's going to sneak up on old Dipper— AAH!"

Mabel hangs down from a tree and knocks Dipper over, "BLIND SPOT!"

"AAH! Oof! I'm down! Dipper down!"

"This is it. Get ready to finally be seen, Hide Behind! In 3... 2... 1..."

He quickly jumps behind the tree to find an owl with a maraca in its mouth.

"A-ha! What?"

"Wow! Cool! Maraca owl!" Mabel comments.

Dipper takes off mirror suit and dumps it on the ground, and groans. "Well, based on lack of evidence, I have to conclude, anomaly # 132, the Hide Behind, just a legend. I wonder what the Doctor seen actually..."

The "Hide Behind" suddenly appears and follows him, then hides behind a tree when Dipper turns around.

"What was that? Meh, nothing. Doctor? Doctor?"

It continues to follow Dipper, then hides when he turns again. Dipper walks off and forgets about it, but was followed by it.

It wears a rugged-looking tuxedo, as it observes Dipper and Mabel rejoining with the Doctor...

"You really have to know..." The Doctor playfully comments as brushed his jacket and fixed his bow-tie, "...these woods are peacefully silent, you'll know? Silence is golden..."
