Snapshot from the 1940s that is making people believe that 'time travel is real'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

An old picture from 1940s Britain has sent conspiracy theorists reeling, as they believe that it proves time travel is real.

The image shows a busy beach scene from the wartime years, packed full of sunbathers relaxing and enjoying a sunny day.But one of the beachgoers has caught the eye of theorists who claim he's a "quantum leaper" - judging by what he appears to be doing in the picture.The snap was taken in Cornwall in September 1943, and amongst the sunbathers, it looks as though there is an imposter.

In the middle of the picture, a man dressed in a brown suit appears to be glued to an object in his hand that looks like a smartphone, the Sun reports.

As well as questioning his outfit choice, social media users became embroiled in a fierce debate over what was preoccupying the man.He was quickly dubbed the "texting time traveller" after many pointed out he appeared to be scrolling through a mobile phone.Others thought that this was a ridiculous claim, and instead suggested that he was rolling a cigarette, but some remained adamant the picture taken at Towan Beach in Newquay was firm evidence "that time travel is real".One comment read: "Er...is it just me or is this guy checking his phone…..in the 1940s?"Another wrote: "Shows how much beachwear has changed!
