Every few years a photograph, a painting, or an old film clip surfaces that reportedly shows proof that time travelers are real.

For example, a few years ago a video clip surfaced that reportedly showed a woman holding a cellphone.  The clip, which was B-roll footage from the 1928 premiere of Charlie Chaplin's movie "The Circus", shows a woman in a fur coat holding a black box to her ear.

Some people say that they believe the woman is holding a cellphone.  When you think about it, though, that really does not make sense.  Who would the person be talking to, if they are from a time when time travel is possible why would they be carrying around something that resembles a 1990s "brick" cellphone, and why would a time traveler be openly showing off high technology items?

People who are familiar with the technology of the 1920s believe that the person was actually using a hearing aid.

Does This 1937 Painting Show A Time Traveler?

There is a painting hanging in an office building in Springfield, Massachusetts that is causing quite a stir in the conspiracy theory crowd.

According to an article on the Boston.com website, a 1937 painting of the 17th-century Massachusetts Bay Colony has sparked a bizarre online conspiracy theory that it proves time travel is real. In Umberto Romano’s “Mr. Pynchon and the Settling of Springfield,” a Native American man appears to be holding a glowing rectangular device that looks remarkably like a cellphone.

The painting has gone viral among conspiracy theorists, who point out that neither cellphones nor selfies existed in 1937, let alone the 17th century.  But historians say there’s a much more likely explanation: the man is probably holding a mirror, a common trade item at the time.
