Time traveling woman using cell phone in 1928 Chaplin film?

George Clarke, an Irish filmmaker and avid Charlie Chaplin fan, believes he has spotted a woman in Chaplin’s The Circus (1928) walking across an otherwise normal scene using a cell phone.  Clarke says that he has studied this film and the scene in particular (a DVD extra) for over a year; neither he nor “over 100” of his aquaintances have been able to provide an explanation for the woman’s actions.  In the video you can clearly see our subject walking past Grauman’s Chinese Theatre with her hand to her ear and she’s talking.  Conspiracy theorists are having a field day with this viral hit, and I’m sitting here trying to wrap my head around it.  Mainstream news, per usual, is doing its best to find reasons against such an unruly theory as time travel.  Some think that the woman is simply humming to herself and itching the side of her face.  That’s a long itch!

Go on and hop after the break to watch the scene and decide for yourself.  And you can add this to our ongoing collection of time travelers.
