Time Traveler Caught on Film,OLD Film

[IrirshTerrorist]

Super Hero- Mystery Man, hence the 'M' on his t-shirt. Can travel through time and due to the huge ramifications of using his powers he chooses to remain neutral and never influence history, rather he travels through time observing events in the hope of one day understanding enoguh to change history and all of human existence for the better...

... or this is just a digitally altered photograph and someone is getting great joy out of how well there prank is working.

 

[Maddudeguy]

It looks like the old trickster Mr. Photoshop has done it again!
Either that or an apocalyptic conspiracy that shall doom us all!

 

[syndicated44]

He went back and became his own grandfather!

 

[KiruTheMant]

I honestly can not see any photoshop here, it appears to be a legitimate photograph. He is wearing clothes relative to the time period, and his camera appears to be as well from what I can tell, but I can not identify the make and model.

If he was a time traveler, than he just wasted his time vacation, I would of went to a much more exciting time period, and location.

Edit - I will have to go with Matt on this, and a few others due to their sources.

On the other side of the bridge is where Hitler was born,you know.(Or I assume from the article.)

Hey now, BC is awesome.

I would've gone back to the release of FFVII and bought em out.
Then again,my time machine is only 12 years to the soul...

 

[Enigmers]

Haha, he looks so out of place, I thought that was kinda funny.

 

[Denizen]

He has an M on his T-Shirt.... OMG!
THE OTHER M
ITS GOING TO DESTROY THE FUTURE!
HE IS A TIME REFUGEE!

but in all seriousness, its an interesting idea. if there was really time travel and he was caught on camera, there are hypothetical circumstances to consider like how he might have affected the time-space continuum without damaging it.

 

[Contun]

One-hundred percent fake. No need for any more questions, Time Travel is silly.


[small][sub]Ugh.... I need to be more careful, they're beginning to catch on...[/sub][/small]

 

[chozo_hybrid]

It must be the 12th Doctor, it's the only explanation!

Seriously though, I doubt it, I really do.

Did you mean that silly part seriously?

Ahh, I don't feel that way at all. I believe everything's connected, so if you change 1 thing you will inadvertently change another and so forth and so forth until an entire sequence of events are altered.

I believe that if you go back and do something, it won't change things because odd are that's how it happened, but that's just me

 

[DoW Lowen]

Maybe he was French? That would explain a lot.

 

[teh_n00b_root]

Just had an idea... if you were to go back in time and change thepast wouldnt have thepast already have been changed by you so anything you do is already what has hapopened so everything would work out?

 

[CouchCommando]

Going off his youth and the stubble,his frizzy unkempt short back and sides haircut, dark side shielded glasses plus the obvious utilitarian clothing, I'd guess the guy was one of the workers who helped complete the bridge, without his construction helmet on. If you look at larger versions of the picture you actually see that the camera he is holding is quite dated as well. Been of a similar type to the collapsible 1930s kodak of the time.
Also if you look at the picture you will note a man of similar unkempt looks slightly to his front and left.

 

[clzark]

Well, the T-shirt was invented around WW1, and his sweater looks like an old wool sweater, maybe he just had a bizarre style for the time?

Yeah, I had the same idea. He's not exactly wearing rings ('cause you know... they are uncool in the future) or an exo-skeletton with railguns.
Not to forget, if I'd travel back in time I'd try to blend in with the crowd, not wear a "I'm a time traveller (Shhhhhhhh)"-shirt.

really? I'd totally wear that. actually, I'm going to start going to tons of public events dressed strangly wearing that shirt. people from the distant future will totally freak out

 

[Chamale]

Please tell me that after reading that I wasn't the only one who wanted to go around dressed weirdly at public events in the hope that it will be a future fashion.

You're not alone, friend.

 

[blindthrall]

Guys, it's not a shop. Forgetomori's pointing out the dude is actually there - he's just got a weird fashion sense.

The picture in the link circled something that I'm not even sure is human. It just looks like the back of some guy's head. It could be Saquatch for all we know, or it could be foliage. Obvious Shopjob remains obvious.

 

[Unborn023]

If this wasn't shopped don't you think his clothes would bring a bit more attention

... because you are totally photoshoped. I don't think that'll ever change. But have fun with your controversy anyway.

 

[SnipErlite]

Well, I can tell it's a shop from the pixels and-

It's 'shopped. I can tell from the pixels and having seem some 'shops in my time.

...what. CURSE YOU

Please tell me that after reading that I wasn't the only one who wanted to go around dressed weirdly at public events in the hope that it will be a future fashion.

Well, I already like wear a fedora (which are certain to become popular again in the future) and a tie with casual slacks, so all I need to do is attend more meaningless events.

P.S. I looked it up on snopes.com and found nothing. I might send them an e-mail, they might want to add this to their archives. If the picture is true and it's just a guy being a proto-hipster it's an amazing story.

^_^ I was surprised the first poster didn't say about the pixels, to be honest.

Also that is awesome. I must try that. Finally, an excuse to dress weirdly!

Hmmm. There area number of posibilities that could have led to this:

1) Photoshop. Just saying. It could be a really professionally done job.

2) It was a staged photo (for a book cover or something, I don't know) taken a few years ago, and a guy, not knowing what was going on, stumbled into the picture.

3) He was someone from the time with an odd fashion sense.

4) He's a time traveler.

Hey, they're all possible.
