A piece of footage from 1938 has people convinced time travel exists after a woman was spotted "chatting on a mobile phone''. In the film clip, a group of people can be seen walking towards the camera with a woman holding an object to her head in among them.
The woman seemingly looks to be chatting with the object up against her ear in the clip. Theorists believe the object she is captured talking into is a mobile phone, decades before the device was invented, reports the Mirror.
In the clip, the woman, donning a 1930's style dress, is seemingly chatting in amongst a crowd of people with the object pressed up against the side of her head in one hand. She then seems to take it down and away from her ear as the clip ends.
In that moment, the object can be better seen and is a dark hand-sized item with similar dimensions to that of a modern mobile phone. The mystery is then further intensified when a social media user stated the woman in the clip was their great-grandmother and she was in fact using a mobile phone.
According to the YouTube user, the device is an experimental wireless phone created by industrial giants Dupont at one of their US factories.
The account said: "The lady you see is my great-grandmother Gertrude Jones. She was 17 years old.
"I asked her about this video and she remembers it quite clearly. She says Dupont had a telephone communications section in the factory.
“They were experimenting with wireless telephones. Gertrude and five other women were given these wireless phones to test out for a week.
"Gertrude is talking to one of the scientists holding another wireless phone who is off to her right as she walks by.”
