[[WMG:The Northwest family once worshiped Bill Cipher, but the practice has since died out.]]
The house is filled with hunting trophies, but Preston doesn't look like the type who hunts, he looks like the type who keeps hunting trophies around so it ''looks'' like he's a big-game hunter. The tapestry of Bill is a similar trophy of an earlier time, and while the Northwests did once deal with Bill, it's long since ceased to be anything more than "kooky old family traditions." In his debut episode, Bill mentioned that he'd been "away" for a long time, and in the interim, things became modern and the Northwests became filthy rich, and likely just stopped believing in all that old-timey nonsense. They believed in the lumberjack's curse because they were actively being haunted by it, but with Bill unable to affect Gravity Falls, belief in him waned and the Northwests forgot about him.
[[WMG:The Northwest family ''opposed'' Bill Cipher.]]
The tapestry in their house appears to have figures worshiping trees, with a giant Bill Cipher looming over them and skulls below the earth. The first thing the Northwest family did was apparently contract a bunch of "lumberfolk" to build them a massive house on the hill, cutting down a bunch of trees and resulting in the deaths of many lumberjacks; they were also likely behind the push to expand the town, requiring the cutting-down of more trees to clear space for new buildings. The tapestry is a warning to or from the Northwest family, telling of a horrible future wherein the lumberfolk call down the wrath of their "god," Bill Cipher, and engulf the world in flame; to prevent this, the Northwests got the jump on the lumberfolk by clear-cutting large swathes of land and reducing their numbers through work-related death. Unfortunately, like [[KungFuPanda2 Lord Shen]], the Northwests created a self-fulfilling prophecy, bringing about the very circumstances that angered the lumberfolk enough to, eventually, lead to Bill Cipher's Armageddon.
[[WMG:The tapestry in the Northwest mansion was foretelling the events of the episode.]]
It shows people cowering, surrounded by trees and fire, with bones underneath them and Bill Cipher above them. In the episode, the lumberjack ghost causes the wood of the mansion to start growing leaves and branches as he attacks the guests, spurred by the Northwest mistreatment that resulted in many lumberjack deaths, with the lumberjacks apparently buried below the hill on which the mansion's built. During both of the ghost's main manifestations, he appears from a fireplace, with flames going everywhere and tinting everything red. The only thing the tapestry had that the episode lacked was Bill Cipher's presence, but then you realize that he can see through images of him, like the one ''in the tapestry''...

By erasing peoples' memories of the paranormal, they enforced a [[MageTheAscension Consensus-style]] skepticism that prevented the supernatural from gaining more of a foothold. Lack of belief prevents the paranormal from manifesting, or robs them of their power, which is why it generally shows up around the main cast, who either believe in the paranormal, know about it, or are open-minded enough to believe. When others get pulled in, like Wendy, Robbie, and Pacifica, it's because their interaction with the main cast has 'contaminated' them, weakening the ambient skepticism around them until the paranormal can manifest for them directly.

In some cases, those "others" might have already have been well aware of the supernatural: Pacifica not only witnessed the hauntings in ''Northwest Manor Noir'', but knew about the lumberjack ghost and his curse and clearly believed it, while Wendy may or may not be linked to the "lumberfolk" through her lumberjack family and Robbie is theorized to be a vampire.
