  • I have a wall-mount phone upstairs from circa 1930 that resembles the one in her hand. They defiantly did it for shits and gigs knowing that people would find it odd. They probably handed it to her lat minute and was like "Pretend to talk on this phone". And yes she would need a cell tower to use the phone in the first place.

  • Nikola Tesla predicted the use of "mobile telepathy" in 1909 or machines that allowed people to talk to each other from anywhere. Perhaps he invented one??? Who knows...

  • The only way to settle this is to go back in time ourselves and find out what this is all about.

  • I wish it would be a time traveller that would be awesome.

    But if they were on a mobile phone, who were they calling. All phones back then were analogue and there would be absolutely no network to retrieve the call.

    Sorry

  • @patrickdeadf1sh maybe, since I am assuming this chick would be far and away in the future, they have invented a device that lets you communicate with people from your own time for safety purposes. Just in case something goes wrong. I don't really think that cell phones would be that big in the future, but I do believe that something that lets you talk to someone through the fourth dimension. If you can put a person through the 4th dimension, surely you would be able to transmit sometype of data

  • I think they just didn't want to be on camera, and covered their face, but at the same time couldn't resist looking at the camera.

  • Belfast yeoooo

  • well,alot of people are saying hearing aid,yet if the old fashioned ones required you to hold it up to your ear,why would she be doing that when she's obviously not listening to anybody?

  • @suckseedorsuckeggs I never talked to my hearing aid.

  • watch?v=52DGuZ1Nunk&feature=re­lated

  • When she turns you can plainly see the "object" is just her hand's shadow on her face, and that she is just scratching underneath her hat and the side of her face.

  • jordancory. i googled hearing aids in the 1950s and there are alot of lil things that resemble a cell phone IF they held them to there ears im not too sure ... check it out!! you will be suprised!

  • @tawnyasmith1 but this was back in 1928...

  • If she's a time traveler, you really think she needs a cell tower for a signal?

  • i expected the doctor who episode were he dances in the background of one of his movies (i think it was his movies)

  • ITS THE DOCTOR I KNEW HE WAS REAL.

  • They left out the part where they went into the future and then made the cell towers to get a signal.... oh wait

  • ok my friend says she thinks its a schizo.

    idkwtf that is.

  • It's a hearing aid even back the they had hearing aids connected to a big box probably in her pocket and he's adusting it explaining why her finger moves up and down haha solved ;)

  • They don't show this, but the TARDIS is just off-camera

  • Continuing earlier comment: man in front of her and herself or commentary on the tape... Though if tis is not the case... This vies creepy as fvvvvvvck

  • Judging by the man in front of her, looking to be a man of business/profession of course (think: lawyers wear suits), it seems that they both may be on route to a court case, because notice how closely she's following the man in the suit (POSSIBLY!!!) and seeing as how they've got cameras during this era they could also have tape recorders. Herein what could very possibly be a tape recorder could contain information of a court case and what we see as conversation could be just that between the

  • Talk to this bit of wood old dear and walk across there , dont look at the camera.....

    ?

  • I have heard that they now have the technology to figure out what you are saying given a video of you talking, it uses the refraction of light through the sound wave to figure out what the sound is. Maybe you could find and use some of that software to decode what she was saying.

  • to be honest I don't see anything in her hand, she is definitely acting like she is on a cell phone, but I don't see one.

  • Anybody who thinks she is holding a cell phone is stupid......... It's obviously a blutooth device that's wirelessly connecting to the cell phone in her pocket. Sheesh.

  • people here are saying that this cant be a time traveller because she has no signal.well has it ever occurred to anyone that mabe she is not from our present time mabe she is from the future and possibly in this future-technology has evolved to a certain extent were signal towers are no longer necessary (hypothetically speaking) .Its evident in the video that she was holding something to her ear,she was walking alone and talking alone.either she was crazy or imitating a phone conversation.

  • It actually looks like she's scratching her head. You can see her move her index finger up an down.

  • what the shit... that was booty son..!!!!! how would she have reception.no signal towers.. bullshit ..hahhahahhaha

  • There would be no cell phone towers, so even if it were a real time traveler, they would have no way of using the phone.

  • Well, It could be a REEAAAAALLLYYYYY fat guy, not a chick, but that's irrelevant. Maybe it IS evidence of time travel, maybe It's just a crazy fat person, there WERE a lot of these in the 20's. But if he/she was from the future, then obviously that person would dress in time-period clothes. Case in point, Dr. Who. But if it is a time-traveler, then we'd have to wait at LEAST another 100+ years to find out.

  • maybe she was just scratching her face and chewing something.

  • She is not holding anything in her hand. The shadow from her hand makes it appear as though she is holding something black. All i see is shadow. I believe she is just talking to herself.

  • @colinjosephahern at 8:16 look between her fingers, she's holding something.

  • Ok i'm looking at 4:59 and they look like some sort of clamp like the ones photographers use. Why I don't know but it looks somewhat clear.

  • Maybe it's a wind up musical toy. It wouldn't have to be as big as a box designed for a dresser.

  • Comment removed

  • IT'S A GHOST!

  • Or it could be a crazy lady....you never know

  • Its not a cellphone. Theres no signal in 1928.

  • holy crap, a time traveling zebra statue @_@

  • Well, I find this very strange indeed. Good eye also! Thanks for sharing. The unexplainable keeps life exciting.

  • maybe shes crazy

  • The only theory I have to disagree with so far is the earache. As she turns to the camera,she's smiling while she's talking which suggest that she's not in any sort of pain

  • @effinbo I agree it looks like the man in front of her is in a rush and she stops and is telling him to slow down

  • It looks to me that she is fixing her earring (or around her ears) and talking to her husband who is walking in front of her.

  • this was nothing but a shameless plug XDDD

  • he speaks to check your hearing aid works

  • Comment removed

  • Discovery News explained it as an old hearing aid: a trumpet-like device held to the ear to capture sound for someone faint of hearing to capture more sound (like a radar dish capturing a signal) or rabbits ears tuning into specific directions to hear better. They don't have to look like a funnel-shape, really, it's just any vibrating box that enlarges the scope of one's ear by making it larger (kinda like when you cup your hand to your ear to hear better)

  • Tape recorder? Maybe she's recording a message so she doesn't forget to pick up the milk of whatever

  • or a hearing aide

  • It could be a music box or something.

    Maybe they did it just to fuck with people in the future in case they invented wireless phones?

  • i have an explanation. What a bout a 1928 guy touching his ear? I know it is far fetched but...it could be!!!

  • GAWD HE SHUTS UP AT 2:39

  • If they can time travel we have to assume they community in a way more sophisticated than our current one. It may not use signals or use them differently.

  • "YERP YO SON I GOT DAT NEw I 8G  THAT SHIT IS" ......excuse my good sir would you happen to know where i may possibly locate a good pub...thank you......"NAH NOT YOU SOME ONE ALMOST CAUGHT ME ON MY T i ME Phone' YO IMA COME BACK TO 2028 IMA BAG UR GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDMA FIRST HAHAH LATA NIGGA'

  • Right. Because a time-traveling iphone is more plausible than a music box playing her favorite song.

  • okay some people that say it wouldn't be possible to talk on the phone well it's possible for the person to "be traveling in time" then it could be possible for her to talk on the phone. because for time traveling to be possible we would have to assume that all time is happening at once the past present and future and if it was then would she get signal. I don't know maybe that doesn't make sense but it does to me

  • time travelling is physically impossible. its obviously fake

  • Huh.. I have seen this video before somewhere, but I have no idea what that is or what's going on! Very strange, good find.. I have no idea what to even say. o_O

    Also: I just started doing "let's play" videos on my channel, I'm doing dead space 2 right now with full commentary. If that interests you, please check out my channel and subscribe if you'd like! Thanks for the support. :)

  • Crazy people always talk to themselves. ...and she had an earache...

  • ...Really? You obvious thought this through. You had to shoot the video, maybe more than one take, had to edit it, upload it, and you didn't stop to think that mobile phones couldn't work back in the twenties, that there were no other reasons for having your hand in your ear (aching, stopping a gust of wind from irritating it) or eye (sun shading or, once again, stopping a gust of wind from making you squint) but time travel?

    Really?

    No, I mean it. REALLY?

  • She has an earache, gawd.

  • She's blocking the sun from getting in her eyes. Look at the shadows on the sidewalk. She's just holding her hand up in a weird way. And probably complaining about the sun being in her eyes hence the talking.

    But time-traveling cell phone user is far more likely.

  • Someone sent me this yesterday, it's an amusing similarity, but it obviously can't be true. Even if time travel were possible (and that's a huge fucking if), there were no cell phone towers back then, so a cell phone wouldn't work.

  • Cell wouldn't work there's no towers in the 20's, it's obviously her 2 way communicator to the mothership!

  • walkie talkie....solved it

  • @mrsnuflz Walkie talkies were first created in 1940 and they were so big they were in the form of a backpack.

  • Hot water bottle for a tooth ache makes more sence than a cell phone

  • did my eyes deceive me or did he or she just disappear?

  • @kiaios2 WTF!? Yes!! she disappears!!!

  • If SHE/HIM-------SHIM?!?  got caught on camera by accident than it violated the temporal prime directive.

  • WTF is a quid?

  • @anacowa221 a quid is slang for a pound ( £ ) in britian....

  • @jordancorey Lol, nice joke ;) But seriously though, it's actually a short for Squid :) English people use squid as a way of payment for objects that cost less than one pound :)

  • my explanation - If indeed it was a cell phone then I think the woman worked for the government. As a lot of you know, The people that run the United States and many other countries are AT LEAST 25 years ahead of us when it comes to technology...

  • cmon...its just a 1928 iphone

  • This is my explanation

    #1 the talking - The man walking in front of her must be her husband and she's talking to him, not into her hand.

    #2 - the black behind her hand I think can just be shadow

    #3 - she just might be trying to fix her earring perhaps - her fingers move right at the end so she fiddling with something at her ear - she's also dressed to the nines so it might be a really dangly ear-ring thats snagged on her frock or something.

  • why is south yorkshire in the tags

  • As interesting as time travel seems, my theory would be, imagine if you cut your ears, you hold it tight with a black cloth and moan to yourself probably because of your clumsiness or something. that can be the case too

  • holy shit this guy goes on forever!

  • search: iphone time traveler, see proof iphone used 1940 8mm home movie

  • Hearing aid

  • What is more likely: an insane old crone talking to herself, or a time traveler?

    Entropy moves in one direction. What we experience as time is the ongoing decay of the universe. The past has already decayed; there is nothing to travel back to.

  • Notice that her knuckles close up at the end and you see nothing in her hand at all. She's just talking to herself.

  • everyone in this video (including the zebra) are fuck faces, whats so amazing about a fuckin wooden zebra? omg no way theres a lady witha fuckin cell fone! oh nooo! fuckin crackheads! if you believe this shit go n suck on a cock! everyone here should just suck my dick!

  • @xxmang017xx amen

  • THEY FOUND ME.

  • You're not serious. LOL. With no satellites, no towers and no one to talk to, why would even a time traveler be using a cell in 1928. Use your head. LOL

  • google siemens hearing aids 1928. It's a hearing aid, not a cell phone. Good try though.

  • i watched your films and they are SHIT

  • Forget about time travel, forget about cell phones. She's probably an old woman with bad hearing using an ear trumpet.

    Let's face it: When you really break it down, the time travel theory doesn't really make much sense to begin with. If you did have the ability to time travel, why would you use your cell phone? Who would you talk to? Other time travelers?

  • Sad.

  • I think she is too old to travel alone, btw where is Bill & Ted to accompany here?

  • I can't get signal in my house, how the fuck is she getting signal in 19fucking28!?

  • @adjohnson85

    The real question is, if shes on a cellphone, who ELSE could she be calling?

  • @adjohnson85 I agree here. No satellites even. There would be no way for signal to be received. Sputnik was 1957 and that wasn't even a legit satellite, at least not one that could provide signal for something like a cell phone. Furthermore, if she was really a time traveler and they had invented something like a cellphone that could somehow get reception through time, they would have made it more discrete.

  • i think she was making a joke

  • Ok, it could be hearing aid but...  earphone is quite small in both posted models and phone looking device is a microphone, so why he / she is having microphone near ear ????

  • Its a walkie talkie!

  • I have the answer. I will only post this on one of these related video posts.

    The old lady is listening to a musical wind up box. This would also explain why she appeared to be talking (singing) to the device.

    I Hope this clears this whole mess up.

  • Its Doctor Who in disguise. I mean he can clearly tamper with phones.

  • its a wallet. she is by stores and doesn't have a purse. she's hiding her face from the cameras. talking to people off camera filming. love charlie chaplin and love sci-fi. not buying time traveler!!

  • Clearly you have no idea how cell phones work. In 1928 there were no cell towers or satellites. If she had a mobile phone, she wouldn't be able to place a call.

  • @sausageman200 you clearly have no understanding of the new developments in cellphone technology. brought to you by quantum physics, is the unravelling of a proton, i suggest you look this up learn about it. because they have learnt to send information by using this technology. it is thought to be the future of telecommunication, they are just waiting for an affordable way to utilize it, as well as progression to send more information, because currently it can't send that much only like 2 bytes.

  • look her finger very close ,yes she have something in her hand.

  • Time Traveler! o:

  • That thing with the mobile ?, what was it ? From what planet did it come ?

    Why did it come ?

    It had big feet , didn't it ?

    Was it in drag ? Are we all doomed ?

  • woody Allen film “zelig” does spirng to mind

  • If it was a Western Electric Model 34a, why would He be holding the microphone

    to his ear? The unit came with an ear plug I believe. The microphone would not be held to the ear, no?

  • If it was a hearing aid why would she be takling and if it was a phone in that time there weren't any connections so who would she be calling.

  • never mind the phone where did the guy filming it get the hd camcorder from ha ha.

  • Could it possibly be a radio or music box of some sort? She could be listening to music and singing along.

  • Why does it have to be a time traveller? Why not an alien communicating with the mother ship?

  • its kinda screwed. but it could be anything.

  • its a 11G PDT4 IPHONE series (PDT4 means 4th generation of PARALLEL DIMENSIONAL TECHNOLOGY ) while 11G gives you access to internet and phone calls to future and the past via a high end micro universe chip, also you got a bonus feature called miniGOD that grands you 3 wishes even if one of them is for more wishes,

  • @Novarberor oh goodie goodie.. i so want that.. where can i buy it? :D

  • i think that was an wild idea about cell phone since telephone is already found at that time. its creative thinking for a movie maker.

  • ok this is the real story the time traveling guy from 30th century went back to 1928 to meet his great great200x gran now in order for them to still communicate he leave his mobile phone to her,, in athe clip you can see them chatting about the film..

    lol now you waste ur time reading this.

  • If you google "1924 Siemens pocket sized carbon microphone/amplifier device" it looks EXACTLY like what the person is holding. It's probably either that or it could be someone practicing a scene with an 'imaginary' landline phone and just reciting their lines to themself. And as for looking weird at the camera, they could have just been embarrassed that they were caught on film taking to themself. OR they might be talking to the person in front of them while using their Hearing device.

  • lets assume that time travel is preposterous.. which 99.99% people think it is..

    another preposterous idea would be that the person in the movie is recalling the future.. to compare it.. look at the star trek movies from 60's.. space travel etc. it seems very unlikely but today space travel is not that foreign.. not the same as on star trek but still with years of progress SF will become real.. maybe the person was a bit "insane".. and was doing something no1 could know about in 1920's..

  • @KarGlat thats actually pretty logical. maybe they were thinking of the future and what could happen :P Who knows. It could be edited too.. XD

  • Alright George. I have sorted out the mystery. I think I have figured it out. I am from Belfast, and you certainly aren't! What do I win for figuring it out? ;)

  • ok, even if it was a cell phone how could someone go back in time to use it because i am pretty sure there are no cell towers in 1928.

  • @ryanchorstman

    you think we´r going to need cell towers in future?

    and is easy she coever her face because dont like the camera and says bad words as a resault of been filmed :9

  • most likely its a hearing aide from the 20s. if you google 20s hearing aide you'll find that the first devices where thin and black and you had to hold them to your ear.

  • And also if you look at he/she sway's when she/he walk's like she/he's carrying some heavy metal under that dress.

  • Maybe she was testing her hearing aid.

  • Cut the time traveler bullshit. You people obviously don't know anything about time and physics. Most of the leading minds in physics agree that traveling back in time would be impossible (regardless of how technologicaly advanced you are). That's because traveling back in time would give rise to big paradoxes. For example, going back in time and killing your father.

  • @sublim28 Yeah, but doesn't most of the "leading minds" work for the elite...?just a little food for thought.

  • The only possible way of going back in time would be if you could somehow branch off this universe you live in, and travel to a parallel universe that is an exact copy of your universe (but this is highly unlikely). Also, it doesn't make any sense. Why would someone from the future be dressed in 1928 clothes? And why would someone with advanced time travel technology use a primitive cell phone? Really, this is just stupid.

  • @sublim28 'String theory' says that there are 11 dimensions. (Could be alternate universes).... Anyway.. This (Irish) fella is full of shite.

  • @irishchrisc I know about string theory and the extra dimensions it proposes. That's what I was trying to say, that in order to travel back in time, you would have to leave this universe and travel to another membrane(another dimension) that has an exact copy of your universe, and then the paradoxes would not affect your future.

  • @sublim28 isn't that M theory? not string theory. You are talking about membranes, i'm sure that is M theory not string theory...

  • @0n3b1o0d Yes it is. But M theory is just the latest version of string theory. M theory unites all five string theories.

  • i know how this whole thing happened, this women is from 1955 and shes doc brown's wife. when doc made the flux compacitor she strapped it to that horse got it run 88 mph went back to 1928! Then she was stuck there because she ran out of plutonium and was stuck there until she died.

  • Does anybody from the "of course its a mobile phone holding time traveller" idiots

    actually know how a mobile phone works?

    YES !!! the"just put the SIM card in and talk", is juuuust advertisment

    Takes a little more. Like antennas, satelites, things like that

  • In 1928 EAR TRUMPETS were common amongst older people and were held like a cell phone! Doesn't anyone know anything about the past these days??? This guy is promoting his company... Yellow Fever Productions! Good job he slipped that in there...

  • @shtookatz at what time index is a trumpet in view? or the ear piece, wires, switch etc to a western electric "audiphone"

  • She or he just scathing the inside of her or his hat with something in her hand, thats all. Those things were itching.

  • @pinellas5811 OK...really?uumm, i think you should go and sit on your thumbs and let the grownup's handle this one...you're going to hurt your self!

  • I got the solution! It's just a error in the Matrix!

    Whatever.. a time traveler could even talk on the phone in 1928 without any Net. Or he must talk through time and room. As u see... it must be the Matrix right here....

  • By the way: Its defently a motoral Flip Phone.

    V600 or something!

    Maybe it's a joke. As he say its on the extra Footage?!

  • Why don't you think that She or He might be a real time traveler and really talking on a mobile phone, but... from a further time than that we're living now

    It might sound silly ... but we don't know

    Maybe She/He is a traveler from 2050 or even 3000 ... and scientist already invented mobiles that don't need satellites or such stuff ... Who knows

  • To whom is she talking?

  • she would have needed a mobile phone mast to use it!!!! I dont think they had them then!!!

  • im starting to believe she was talking on a cell phone. if she had a cellphone it means that probably she wasnt the only one with that technology. it means there were "others" like her in the past. coming from the future im sure that particular device didnt need a sattelite, maybe it just needed something else. i dont know, its just an idea. the other idea is that she was not a time traveler and shes crazy and thinks shes talking on a regular phone.

  • this is why this irish guy is totally retarded: a mobile phone only works if its connected to a satellite in the orbit around the earth! so even if she had traveled in time how could she use a mobile phone without a satellite?? and who would she call when no one else got a phone???? only a drunken irish fucktard come with such conclusions!!!

  • @xman822 well bro they'd have time travel talking phones :D

  • @xman822 Him being Irish has nothing to do with it, you fucking idiot.

  • @xchasingcarsx , ur right!!! thats why i didnt say an irish fucktard! i said a drunken irish fucktard!!!

  • @xman822 so you're giving him an age old stereotype? Oh joy, you are FULL of imagination.

  • its the first ever hearing aid, made in 1924...google "Siemens Hearing Instrument"

    Plus the reason for her to be talking is cause they shout "cut!" and she says "say that again?" Case closed!

  • why would a time traveler need a cellphone? 

  • There is also another theory possible. What if the company which make the DVD collection has made this part and add it to the Extra’s? Now Mr. George Clarke is joining us to buy the DVD collection, which can be the goal of the company. Listen carefully what he said in the end of his video (minute 7:21): “You can go buy it in UK,…same label MK2….”.

  • Why this part is only in the Extra’s of the DVD but not in the movie Circus?

    Look at 1:26 minute of Mr. Clarke video:

    Documents … The Hollywood Premier (1928).

    The best way to find it out is to find the original projector film/negative version! That would be very difficult to find, Archives of Hollywood ;)

  • Western Electric Model 34A "Audiphone" Carbon Hearing Aid

    The Western Electric 34A carbon hearing aid was manufactured by the Western Electric Company in 1925.

    Western Electric marketed these early hearing aids under the "Audiphone" trade name.

    It was one of the few 1-piece carbon hearing aids of the time.

    The unit measured 7¾" by 4" by 1½" and weighed just under 2 lbs. when fitted with batteries.

  • it looks like she is on cell phone but important question is! how she can talk on a cell phone in 1928 if there was transmitter at the time to make a signal for a cell phone?

  • even if (although I doubt it) something happened and she ended up in the past, who is she talking to? back then, they didn't even have a cable phone, let alone mobile phones, and even if she was there with a mobile phone, back in those days there was no satellite transmission to "support" that "call" or phone service, so...she's basically talking to herself...those are minor details, yet very important.
