Charlie Chaplin's time traveler theory: A hearing aid
Eh? What's that? A cell phone what? Speak up, sonny!As Zap2it previously reported, footage of a woman holding her hand up to her ear while attending the premiere of the 1928 Charlie Chaplin film "The Circus" has caused at least one man to think that she's obviously a time traveler using a cell phone.
Although this has to be the most interesting theory, the most popular and practical one is that she's using a hearing aid, a Siemens hearing aid to be specific.
Of course, she also looks like she's moving her mouth and talking, which you don't necessarily do with a hearing aid. She could just be talking to herself though. That's something people can do during any era without the use of technology.
Or maybe she's talking to the zebra without wanting to get caught. They totally look like they're in cahoots, right?

a hearing aid? to hear who? there is no one next to her/him...the video is fake.....watch the striped shadow that is not on the man in front of her/his hat....but is on her/his hat as he or she walks by...plus she doesn't wlak thru the shadow of the zebra...bec uase had she it would have proved its real...but of course she doesn't..plus in todays world..if you real thought that was real...there are oh so many people to sell it to..
VIDEO IS FAKE!!!!!
hearing? were hearing aids that big back then? I mean she is clearly grasping something bigger than a hearing aid.
so that means the video is real or fake.
Gee, there must have been more than one time-traveler around, because who would she be talking to? I wonder how they got the towers and other parts of a communications network that make a cell phone useful back to that time period as well. All of Einstien's theories and mathmatical calculations that prove backward time travel is impossible just got blown to hell.
The video cannot be fake, it's on the extras disc from a Chaplin DVD. It was filmed in 1928, well before Photoshop. Why would the DVD makers put that in?
Ok people think about it!!For those who think it is cell phone and time traveling..lol who could she be talking to??? If she did go back in time hello there would be know cell phone towers..there for no service..lol
People back then were not used to cameras; she's just a shy lady using her wallet, coin purse or store purchase to cover her face. And she's talking nervously to herself.
Another far out theory is that it was evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson in disguise; going to the premier of her friend Charlie Chaplin.
Celebrities have been disguising themselves throughout history...what's the big deal?
She was talking to the man who walked by the camera before her.
Listen the device is called trans travel media exchange is does not need cell towers.. it will be developed in 2075...The world as you know it will not exist anymore due to war, disease and starvation... Only the smartest and brightest will be left and that is 62 million people...
