Dipper put down his stick at his feet and crouched down to look at the devices.
He picked up the piece of paper.
"It's a letter," he said, and he read it off, "'Dear Seijiro. I wish you the best of luck in your travels to All God's Village and also advise you to exercise the greatest of caution. If the rumors around the Crimson Sacrifice Ritual are to be believed, you may be prying into something dangerous. Therefore I have enclosed two of my inventions to perhaps offer you assistance. The first is what I call the Camera Obscura.'"
Dipper picked one of the cameras up with his other hand and took a look at it before continuing to read.
"'Do not let its looks deceive you, it is no ordinary camera. You can use it to see impossible things, things that are not meant to be seen, and it has the power to harm and exorcise spirits that can't be touched by any normal means. The filament on top will warn you of the presence of the supernatural, if it glows blue, harmless ghosts or psychic imprints can be photographed nearby. If it glows red, there is a hostile spirit that may try to harm you in the vicinity. The other invention is a spirit stone radio. Sometimes exorcised spirits leave behind a small crystal. If you put these crystals into the device you can sometimes hear a psychic resonance - an imprint of some of their last thoughts and words. These two devices may be of assistance to you if you face any supernatural oddities while on your venture. Please take care, my friend, these backwater villages can sometimes be home to dangerous superstitions and practices. Your friend, Dr. Kunihiko Asou.'"
Dipper picked up the camera, and the film that lay scattered on the ground around it, placing a role of film inside. The filament on the outside was glowing blue.
"Uuuuh, it's glowing blue," he said anxiously, and then he raised the camera to his eye, his finger on the shutter button.
At the end of the hallway, he saw an image that hadn't been there before - two identical young girls, their hair shrouding their faces, hanging side by side from nooses tied to rafters the ceiling, a red cord connecting them by the waist.
"Aaagh!" Dipper blurted out, taking the picture on instinct. After the flash, the image was gone. The camera spat out a polaroid of what he'd seen and he held it up to Mabel and Hiccup. "Sooo I'm thinking these things actually work. And if it's ghosts, our weapons might not."
