Someone at work told me about this. I find this very interesting, if highly debatable.

An Irish filmmaker has stumbled across what he can only consider to be a time traveler in the footage from extra DVD content from Charlie Chaplin's 1928 film 'The Circus'. I honestly have no idea what to make of this, and whilst some suggest that a hearing aid from that year might fit the bill it doesn't explain the woman's behaviour (i.e. stopping and talking to herself/the device).

The video is here.

What do you make of this, everyone? How might you explain it?

There was no satellite back then. Who would they be talking to?

Maybe it was a super phone that can transcend time itself to phone someone from the future. -Whistles innocently-

Or it was a really old hearing aid. I mean, it's not like no one ever talks to themselves. Maybe she just wanted to hear her own voice.

Looks like a classic urban myth to me. Also 2 million+ views and reading some of the comments on youtube has me going "my faith in humanity... Et cetera Et cetera".

I like the comment about the 1924 Siemens Carbon Amplifier. Looks the most reasonable explanation.

Doctress Who. I assumed you didn't look like a frumpy scary old lady. Perhaps I was wrong.

People in the future still blame camera angles, eh? So I guess people are still paranoid about eugenics? A pity.

Heh, we see someone talking while holding something to their ear, and the inevitable conclusion is that it's a time traveler with a cellphone? Fie. For one can think of a lot of explanations that are more likely (she could simply be a crazy person. Isn't that more likely than her being a frickin' time traveler?). For another, it's sorta self-contradicting. If her future can do time travel, why are they using cellphones in our sense of the word?

Like in TimeSplitters: Future Perfect. Incidentally, I thought time-traveling audio communication was the dumbest thing I'd ever seen in a time-travel video game and I've played the demo for fucking Blinx: The Time-Sweeper.

So at some point in the future where they have unlocked the capability for humans to go back in time, they are still using cellphones..

Now I'm disappointed.

can't we all just agree that woman is sexy?

You are 4 dimensions of sexy. Being too close to your loveliness causes a time dilation effect.

Oh god, I'm going to have to sig that at some point.

But getting back to the time-travelling thing, seriously, it's probably just a freakish coincidence. She could have just been singing/talking to herself and holding a hand to her ear, for whatever reason. The hearing aid thing seems the most likely.
