I don’t think it’s a fake. If someone went to all that trouble, they would actually show a cell phone.

Was that part of a near-death experience? They had a show on that type of thing on Coast to Coast with Art Bell. A guy who collects such stories found that a lot of people go to other eras, and sometimes live there for a while, then come back to their body. Sometimes they thought there were somewhere else for years, and came back and had only been gone a few days or hours. They have years worth of memories about where they went. Very weird stuff.

You know if I could go back in time...I could win that High School championship football game.

It's an excellent original ~ the apparent fade is simply an artifact of the recording speed of the BLACK AND WHITE FILM and the shutter speed.

Old films are filled with this stuff.

Modern high pixel count video color systems will turn a night flying bird into sweeping flying saucers or sticks bounding around at more than the speed of light.

For what it's worth, after watching that video over and over and over, and studying still frames, that ain't a woman, that ain't a woman's hand, that's a man dressed up as a woman...

I completely agree with that. The hand is huge and gnarled. The feet are quite big. The face looks like a man's face. The walk looks like a man's walk.

The only problem with that is you don't hold that rectangular case up to your ear you put the small earpiece in your ear.

Too bad is isn’t a talkie movie.

She’s saying “CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!” /s

[wildbill]

Hey, she was talking to Dick Tracy on his wristwatch phone.

[BenLurkin]

Oh...well played!

I remember 1974. I’m sure you can find a better year to go back to.

“You don’t have to pay your bill, you just go further back in time and get a different carrier.”

But your original carrier will probably have time travel too. They’ll just shoot back in time and be calling you every day during dinner to get you to change back. Maybe even with a trans-temporal robo-dialer. Some things never change.

He does get around.

I remember it too, and it stunk for the most part. But, you see, there was this girl...

[Bellflower]

No, not a near death experience. She was simply in the bedroom in bed sort of just trying to fall asleep but ended up in another place. When she told me about it she felt that it wasn't a dream. They told her about the earthquake that she had no conscious knowledge of and she was very aware that she had been transported through time and even had an in depth conversation with some of them about it. It could have been a dream or something on that nature but the way she talked about it it sure didn't seem like it. She was not and is not at all prone to making things up but is very rational, down to earth, respected and intelligent.

Also, in the house things often disappear for days, weeks and months and then turn up exactly where last remembered to be in plain sight. More then a fair share of things also disappear in the house and do not turn up again.

[Bellflower]

The only problem with that is you don't hold that rectangular case up to your ear you put the small earpiece in your ear.

Good point and why would anyone talk into a hearing device? If I were trying to hear things over an old time hearing type aid I would be as quiet as possible so that I could hear what it was that I was having it in my ear to hear in the first place, not carrying on a conversation with myself.

[Bellflower]

Has anyone froze the film just as he/she starts to walk into the frame? I tried to get it to pause there but could not. I would like to see the person just as they walked into view to see if we can notice anything else about him/her with a full view of them.

[R. Scott]

A mystery never to be solved.

[Sawdring]

Oh yeah? And who would she have been talking to without network coverage? This story is not only BS, its not even remotely plausible BS...

If a person can travel backwards in time do you think that it would also be possible to have a communication device that would allow one to communicate without a 2010 cell phone network? Duh.......
