As every science fiction series touches on at some point, time travel is a tricky business. But what if it wasn't science fiction? These 14 photos might indicate that time travel isn't just real, but the travelers are in our midst.
If you go to any kind of public sporting event now, you're sure to see a cellphone videotaping the affair. Before the age of camera phones, thousands of flashbulbs illuminated ever World Series pitch and every Super Bowl kickoff in the golden age of amateur sports photography. But what about the 90s? One photo of a Mike Tyson fight from 1995 appears to show a fan in the background with their cell phone out, and flashlight on. Only, as I'm sure you remember, camera cellphones didn't exist back then. Was the fan a time traveler, or is this some weird optical illusion?
I'll let you be the judge of that, and these 13 other photos that show alleged evidence of time travelers.

A man named Rudolph Fenz was struck and killed by a New York taxi in the 1950s. However, there was allegedly a letter from 1876 in his pockets. He was only 30 at the time, but records showed a man of his name and description had disappeared back in the 1800s. Many thought that proved Rudolph was a time traveler.

This Greek statue appears to show a statue, complete with USB ports. A description of the piece in an art gallery states it is a “‘shallow chest.”
