OK, that is creeping me out. Wouldn't someone that has the technology to time travel have something much more sophisticated than a smart phone with them?
This has been out there for a while but in case someone hasn't seen it, it's an old women talking on a cell phone or some kind of device in 1928 at a premier of a Charlie Chaplin movie (supposedly).
a time traveler would be smart enough to disguise their iPhone as a casio or a white flat Camera, which would seem to prove that this is indeed a time traveler

In October 2010, Northern Irish filmmaker George Clarke uploaded a video clip entitled "Chaplin's Time Traveler" to YouTube. The clip analyzes bonus material in a DVD of the Charlie Chaplin film The Circus. Included in the DVD is footage from the film's Los Angeles premiere at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in 1928. At one point, a woman is seen walking by, holding up an object to her ear. Clarke said that, on closer examination, she was talking into a thin, black device that had appeared to be a "phone".[24] Clarke concluded that the woman was possibly a time traveler.[20] The clip received millions of hits and was the subject of televised news stories.[25]
Nicholas Jackson, associate editor for The Atlantic, says the most likely answer is that she was using a portable hearing aid, a technology that was just being developed at the time.[20] Philip Skroska, an archivist at the Bernard Becker Medical Library of Washington University in St. Louis, thought that the woman might have been holding a rectangular ear trumpet.[26]New York Daily News writer Michael Sheridan said the device was probably an early hearing aid, perhaps manufactured by Acousticon.[20]
I get that and it makes sense except those devices were used at that time when someone was being spoken to so they could hear what was being said to them. In this case, no one is speaking to her and it appears she is speaking into the device. Makes no sense. Also kind of creepy about this person is the size shoe she or he is wearing. The shoes are huge compared to the height of this person. Totally out of proportion.

I agree! I've not seen the video before. That's creepy!
