    Time Traveler?
    As we all know, there were no cell phones back in 1928. However, an Irish filmmaker, named George Clarke has discovered something rather unusual in extra footage from Charlie Chaplin’s film, “The Circus”.
    “The Circus” was filmed back in 1928, when technology wasn’t even close to what it is today. However, as you can see in the video footage below, a woman appears to be talking on a cell phone during the filming of the movie. If this really is in fact a cell phone, there really is no explanation unless this women is a time traveler….. Right?
    Twitter and Facebook have been buzzing all day, with people trying to determine if the device that the woman appears to be talking into is really a cell phone.
    Even if it were a cell phone, how on earth would she be getting a reception on it? If she was a time traveler from the future, her cell phone still would not operate without the infrastructure that exists today. That is of course, unless this women could have traveled to 1928 from a point in time beyond today, when cell phones could operate without cell towers.
    These are all simply theories. Other theories explain that the device is not a cell phone, but simply an old-fashion hearing aid. Perhaps, the woman was having trouble with her hearing aid device, and is talking in order to see if she can hear herself properly. So far this theory seems to be the most believable we have heard so far.
    What do you think. Did the filming of Charlie Chaplin’s film really catch a woman from the future talking on a cell phone, or is there a better explanation?

    She's not driving so it clearly can't be a cell phone.

    false, Obviously alien.

    1. If it was a time traveler they would just go back and not talk on the phone during that scene.
    2. Not much reason to talk on the phone in the 20's.

    Alien would be talking to the orbiting ship or other agents plotting the fall of the stock markets next year.

    I think she's holding a coin purse and scratching her head. It looks like shes scratching at the very end. I don't know why she's talking, but who knows why any woman ever talks?

    I'm assuming she's using Verizon since she has good reception in the 1920s.

    It might be a hearing aid, they were big and bulky like that back then.

    How is it possible to have a hearing aid that small when all electronics used vacuum tubes?

    And even if it were a hearing aid, wouldn't she be listening rather than talking?

    Luckily for her there was all those cell towers back in 1928 to get reception.

    Also plenty of people don't like to be on camera and cover their faces.

    I'm just amazed that this thing has become such a big deal.

    Most likely it's something like this:

    An ear trumpet, a hearing aid.
