The Charlie Chaplin Time Traveler

One of the most famous "time traveler" theories stems from a 1928 Charlie Chaplin film, The Circus, where a woman appears to walk past the camera while holding what looks like a modern smartphone. Internet sleuths claim she is talking into the device, suggesting she could be a time traveler. Skeptics argue it was likely a hearing aid or compact mirror. Despite debates, the mysterious woman—dubbed "The Time Traveling Hipster"—remains a pop-culture icon in time travel lore.
