Make of it what you want. The top visible bit looks like an old telephone handset, but the bottom bit is too small and flat. And who the fcuk are they talking to?

Someone suggested this,

but that doesnt look likely. John Titor in an earlier visit, I dun think so.

Thats mad. I'm with you on the unlikely bit to be an amplifier. Simply because she is clearly talking to someone (perhaps herself) and the actions are the same as one would expect from a mobile phone call.

The person on the other line says something fascinationg and the reaction of the lady stopping in the screen and turning her head is just like an "oh really" comment. Everyone has had them. Your on the phone walking around and something is said and you just stop.

Of course it could be one of them amplifiers and the horse said something interesting and she is talking to the horse.

Either way its weird

Looks likely to me.... as for the talking bit, well, you ever heard a deaf person talk when they haven't got their hearing aid in? Really loudly, as they have no feedback as to how loud they are actually talking, so a bit of "hello hello, how are you today" to test out the device seems like a reasonable explanation, why does she stop? Well, the same as when I'm having a conversation on a phone and need to concentrate if I can't hear the person properly, I'll stop and listen more intently, I'm sure it would be the same for a hearing aid, get rid of wind resistance as well.

Definately something looking like a phone in hew hand. I reckon the director though "I know what we can stick in the background to look odd. Someone on a phone while walking. How preposterous."

Probably some kind of in joke.

I think that the person is just scratching under his hat.

If this is really a phone in 1928, there were no mobile phone masts!!!

I was hoping someone would point out this, as it's the very first logical conclusion that popped into my head.
On the other hand, there could be advancements in mobile phone tech negating the need for masts, particularly in a future with timetravel.

Since future science can't be explained away by modern science, I think the best evidence to go on is that no-one is looking at her as if she's a lunatic who is talking to herself (and if they were, then maybe she could be, a lunatic who is talking to herself).

From then on, I and the bicycle feelings deeper.

a) It's one of those little wind-up music boxes and she's holding it to her ear because she's hard of hearing and is singing along to the tune.

b) She has a toothache and is holding a pocket-warmer to her cheek while loudly proclaiming her pain to the chap walking in front of her.

Which are more likely than a mobile-phone in a poor-reception area (1928).

After reading, I'm going with the hearing-aid explanation. Thumbs Up

Time travel into the past would create paradoxes, I don't believe it. For all you know it could be a loony who's talking to a piece of wood, which is more likely?

It's not time travel because travelling back in time is impossible (forwards isn't), even with todays science and even without it it's fairly easy to understand why it's impossible to go back in time. However there is a way it could be done, assuming parallel universes exist and you could figure out how to get into one then you might find one running at a slightly slower pace and it'd effectively be 1928.

Stupid theories aside, the woman with giant feet is quite obviously not an imposter, most likely a hearing aid or she is just a nutcase, they did have nutters back in the 20's too.
