Just in time for Halloween, a Belfast man has posted a video on YouTube with a somewhat spooky claim. A Charlie Chaplin fan, George Clarke has spent more than a year studying a scene from the 1928 film The Circus—convinced it shows a woman holding a cell phone to her ear ... meaning she must be a time traveler. In the footage, which has garnered a million and a half views to date, a woman walks across the shot holding a device to her ear and seems to be engrossed in conversation.

"I kept rewinding it and zooming in to try and work out what was going on," says Clarke. Those who have commented have come up with all sorts of explanations, but the answer still remains a mystery. Read the full article. (Click here for more on the mysteries of time travel.)
