Time traveler captured using a cell phone in 1940’s picture?
A time traveler utilizing a smart phone was allegedly captured in a picture taken in 1943. Is this for real? We explore the possibility at 1428 Elm.

As it turns out, someone did identify the location as being Towan Beach in Newquay, Cornwall. But then, South London History chimed in with a close-up of a man in a rumpled brown suit with the observation that it appeared as if he was texting on a device.
This started quite the thread with people debating whether or not the man was Photoshopped into the scene. Several individuals noted that the “time traveler” looked out of place because he was fully clothed in a suit and everyone else was in attire more appropriate for that setting.

In the past at 1428 Elm, we have covered many of these stories. Including one that dealt with an extra in the Charlie Chaplin movie, “The Circus,” looking as if she were talking on her cell while moving through a crowd.
