Of course, it could just be another crazy old wino talking into a shoe...



Could 'time traveller' caught on film in The Circus mean Future Day has arrived?

Scene at movie premiere in 1928

Found in extras on Chaplin DVD

Is it a time traveller?

MAYBE Future Day has arrived after all.

This week, the makers of Back To The Future kicked off celebrations marking the 25th anniversary of the release of the original movie starring Michael J Fox.


In the same week, an Irish independent filmmaker has gone public with what he says is footage of a time traveller caught walking through a scene on a recent DVD release of Charlie Chaplin's 1928 film, The Circus.

"I believe I'm the first person to find something quite unusual from a bit of film footage from 1928," Mr Clarke says.

The scene can be found in the extras menu in Documents, under The Hollywood Premiere.
It's not in the movie - it's real footage and it features real members of the public in 1928.
Or does it, asks Mr Clarke, who spotted a mysteriously dressed stranger walking past the camera talking into what he says can only be a mobile phone.

"The only conclusion I can come to - which sounds absolutely ridiculous I'm sure, to some people - is it's a time traveller," he says.

"When you're looking at a bit of 1928 footage with an old woman ... on a mobile phone, it's kind of strange. You can't explain it."

Now the YouTube footage has passed the half-a-million mark, plenty have tried.

YouTube user "Barnwash" claims Australian police tested the first true two-way radio in 1928 and that maybe the woman was security in disguise.

Others claim it was a type of hearing aid.

Most of the naysayers hang their arguments on the fact that there were no phone towers or satellites in 1928, but they are quickly shot down by the believers who say those who possess time travel tech surely could circumvent this.

There's also plenty of speculation about the mysterious figure herself ... if it is indeed a woman.
"Did anyone notice how odd his feet looked," midwestwoman asked. "Thick ankles and then super thin feet?

They don't look right. Also her/his hand seemed abnormally large."

"Who is to say that time travel is not an 'interesting vacation' that people commonly take in the future to live/experience favorite time periods."

Who indeed? Certainly not Doc Brown, who some say bears a spooky resemblance to the "woman" in the footage...

Son of Jam Master Jay Follows in Dad's Footsteps

NBCNewYork gets inside look into unsolved murder of pioneering rapper



It's "Tricky," but if you find yourself swaying your head to a familiar beat from a DJ with a familiar look, we suggest you do a double take.  

The son of Jam Master Jay is now spinning throughout New York City and he goes by the name DJ Jam Master J'son.

Jam Master Jay was the one-man band for RUN DMC -- a DJ with scratches and beats that kept the party going while the Rev. Run and DMC unloaded rhymes. Yet the pioneering rapper encountered the same fate as the greats after him like Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G.

Jam Master Jay was murdered eight years ago and his killer remains at large. He was gunned down in his Queens studio off Merrick Boulevard.

"To the world, Jam Master Jay was lost. To me, I lost my Dad," says Jason Mizell Jr.

"Witnesses were very afraid of the bat, some didn't want to cooperate, some did, but they were very afraid to cooperate," says former NYPD Detective Derrick Parker of the investigation into the still unsolved murder.

Parker wrote a book about the murder from his time working with Hip-Hop related crimes. He took NBCNewYork back to the scene of the crime: the second floor studio of 90-10 Merrick Boulevard.

"Apparently who ever was up there that buzzed those people in knew who they were letting in," said Parker, who like other investigators believes Jay knew his killer.

Jay's studio has been converted into the Hall of Fame studio owned by a new company that has kept Jay's legacy alive with painted murals and several RUN DMC memorabilia that decorate the walls.

Jay was playing video games with a friend when the killer walked into the studio with an accomplice and shot Jay point blank.

Police sources tell NBCNewYork witnesses have not come forward out of fear for their own lives. At least two people in the studio at the time of the murder saw the killer's face, yet no one will point a finger. The motive is still unknown, but investigators have discounted an early theory that the killing was based on a hip-hop dispute.

"It messed me up for a long time, actually," says Mizell Jr., who now doesn't dwell on his father's death.

He says if he had five minutes with his Dad he would ask him about music, not murder.

"How much (sic) hours did you literally spend staring at a turntable? My father didn't mess up ever -- that's pretty strange he was like a computer with the turntable."
