An 82-year-old film clip from a Charlie Chaplin movie premiere thatappears to show a woman talking on a mobile phone has baffled moviebuffs and caused an online sensation.
George Clarke, a film festivalorganiser from Belfast, claims to have discovered the puzzling vision,shot in 1928, on a Charlie Chaplin DVD.
Mr Clarke said he studiedthe black-and-white film and sent it to his colleagues. The video clipshows a woman dressed in a dark cloak and hat walking past a sign forCharlie Chaplin’s film “The Circus.”
She appears to be speaking intoa device that looks remarkably like a mobile phone. Mr Clarke saidthere was no rational explanation for the clip.
“Right now the onlyconclusion I can come to, which sounds absolutely ridiculous I’m sure tosome people, but it’s a time traveller,” he said.
“It’s kind of strange, you can’t explain it.”
