Time Traveller Caught on 1928 Charlie Chaplin Film?

Edit: Then again, if it is a hearing aid, I don't understand why she's walking along talking into it.

:D
 
Don't know what the fuss is about, someone just needs to invent a time machine, go back to that day, dress up as a kangaroo, punch the old woman so she drops her phone/banana/nothing and then bounce off, off shot.

Simple.
 
Maybe she expected to 'leap'

Something obviously happened or could've happened on that film that required her there.

Did Charlie Chaplin almost die making that film?

Article about the clothing that he is wearing and how it isn't out of place.

LOL!!!! :D:D

I just finished watching all the episodes of Quantum Leap the other week! Could've been talking to a hologram maybe?
 
So if this is indeed a time traveller it just proves people from the future are as retarded as people from the present
 
The biggest question that appears to have escaped the Irish idiot is if it is a mobile phone it must be some kind of "time phone" who is she going to talk to with no cell towers or infrastructure around? Hence it's not a phone at all.

Also his theory would suggest that there are time machines in existence right now or in the near future, and whilst I cannot 100% disprove this I personally believe that Human technology has not reached the point at which anyone could time travel yet, not for a good many decades at least or at least until the singularity.

Further to that point, if it were a time traveler why have we not seen more of this in other films or photos? Why go through the hassle of wearing period clothing and then talk on a mobile phone? The fact that the person is old also casts doubt on the situation, if there were a singular time traveler (as we have not seen more) then surely he didn't simultaneously create a time machine and a completely unnecessary "time phone" in his basement.

His claims of showing it to 100 people who could not offer one explanation as to what it could be only further strengthens the stereotype of stupid Irish people. There are many more plausible theories to garner from that section of film, the least likely and least logical being that he/she is a time traveler. I bet his backup theory is that it's a ghost.
 
When I first starting looking at the video it looked to me like the rounded end of a classic phone ear-piece with a squared off handle; after reading about the hearing aid theory I came across these:

As you can see mid to late 1920's hearing aids are exactly that shape!

There's also a good chance that she(he?) was just mumbling to themselves, perhaps picking up some radio on it...?

who says he was talking into it ? and not talking as he walked with it ?

Judging by the fact the he/she male was walking separately, unless they are a fruit cake that likes to talk to themselves.

Still not convinced with it either way, was just agreeing with the following posters thoughts in regards to hearing aids, you don't to talk in to them do you? Not normal behaviour.

Now im not saying it is a time traveler however....

You would imagine that time traveling would be strictly controlled by the government and as such a a way of communicating with the agents would be essential. So they use a communication device which just looks like our mobile phones. You would imagine that technology would have evolved in phones and it probably has and the standard phones of the future could be implanted however this is a phone which can cross the boundaries of time and due to the amount of power that is needed to perform such as task it had to be fitted into a device to accommodate the power source.

As for not seeing other time travelers then you would imagine they are highly trained and schooled in the customs of the time so they just blend in. However the people that be in the future knew that this person could talk on the device as they already know that people in this time will dismiss the idea. As for the age then surely with something as important as being able to change the entire course of history as we know it would not be trusted to someone young. You would have to have a very impressive CV and be extremely smart and a vast knowledge of science and history. Then i would imagine there will be a lengthy training period so after all this it makes sense that travelers would be older.
