Time Traveler in 1928 Charle Chaplin footage??? The Truth Is Out There
Don't if anyone else has heard about this discovery on some film footage, saw it reported on the
"The Early Show" on CBS this morning and it's really cool and freaky b/c she is talking alot. o.O
Click to viewFilmmaker George Clarke has spotted something unusual in some "behind the sceens" footage of the 1920 Charlie Chaplin film The Circus. The footage can be found on the "extras" disc of the DVD. In the brief clip, an old woman (some say it looks like a man in drag) walks into frame talking while holding a small, thin device up to her ear. If the film were made today, we would assume she was talking on a cell phone, but of course this is 1920. Is she a time traveler? Or is there a more logical explanation?
Review:
It's puzzling, but here are some considerations:
- If she were a time traveler with a cell phone, who could she be talking to? A cell phone network did not exist in 1920.
- Perhaps it is not a cell phone, but another kind of communication device with which she is talking to another time traveler, perhaps.
The time traveler explanation is pretty far out there. Logical explanations include:
- She is using a Lutz Ferrando ear trumpet, a kind of a hearing aid. But it was used for hearing only, not talking, and the woman in the footage is doing a lot of talking.
- She is a lunatic talking away into a box of matches or something.
