People spot 'eerie' detail in 1941 photo and claim it's evidence 'time travel exists'
A photograph from 1941 has sparked debate amongst viewers who reckon it could be evidence that time travel exists.,The historical image, captured by Edward Rosskam on Chicago's South Side, shows a queue of well-dressed youngsters and teens positioned outside a picture house.
However, one lad towards the side of the photograph has got people baffled. Social media users are now persuaded the youth is holding an Apple iPad. Posting to Reddit's timetravelerscaught forum, one individual titled the image: "iPad carrying moviegoer, all the way to the right." Yet not everyone's buying into the time-travel hypothesis – with some people claiming it might be something far more ordinary.
"Looks like a book to me," one person commented.
Expanding on historical cinema customs, another explained: "Back in the day of early film, ushers scanned the audience for pens and notepads as to prevent bootleg recreations of the film."
A further user remarked: "If I can time travel, have an iPad and I'm black why in God's name would I go to the South Side of Chicago in 1941 to watch a matinee of 'The Aldrich Family?!'"
Others seized the opportunity to reminisce fondly about bygone times, with one person noticing the clothing visible in the photograph, saying: "They all are dressed so nicely. To wear your Sunday best to see the movies, it must have been a fantastic treat."
Another added: "Part of me wishes we would all dress up like that for the little things, and then I debate if I am even going to shower today."
While a further person commented: "Amazing how nicely dressed they all are. The little men's hats are so adorable."
The post comes after a woman recently went viral on TikTok after discovering a snap of her doppelgänger.
Lindsay Bullis says she was researching her ancestry history online when she stumbled upon a photo of a woman with the "same face" as her".
The 28-year-old said she had an "uncanny" resemblance to Mary Beckwith, who is her fourth grandmother on her father's side and lived from 1805 to 1873.
Comparing pictures of herself to Mary, Lindsay amassed more than 4.6 million views on the clip and left users convinced she is a time traveller.

'I did a full face of make-up using this influencer's beauty box and it saved me £155'
This popular beauty box has just launched a new limited-edition, one-off edit with a top make-up influencer, worth a huge £210 but yours for under £55 – and I've tried it out Beauty boxes are a popular way to save money on products nowadays, but with so many on the market, it can be hard to know exactly which ones are worth your money. And so I put one newly launched box to the test to see if I could use every product inside to create a quick and easy everyday make-up look. The box in question is the limited-edition OK! Beauty Box created in collaboration with make-up artist and influencer Genevieve Turley, whose funny and relatable videos you'll probably have seen on TikTok and Instagram. This one-off-purchase box contains 11 skin and make-up products from top brands (10 of which are full-size), which are worth over £210 in total, yet you can get it for £54.99 instead of the usual £59.99 through this link, or by using the code MIRRORGEN at the checkout – a whopping £155 saving. I challenged myself to see if I could use every product inside to create an easy and flattering make-up look. Here's how I got on... Every make-up artist will say that good make-up starts with good skin, so after cleansing I used two of the luxury skincare products in the box: Gatineau Collagene Expert Hydra Essence and cult classic Medik8 C-Tetra Lipid 7% Vitamin C Radiance Serum (in a full-size bottle, no less). This gave my skin a gorgeous glow and hydrated feel, and provided the perfect base for my make-up. A dap of the Dr. Paw Paw Shea Butter Lip Balm and I was ready to go. As it would be impossible for any beauty box to include a base product that matches all skin tones, here is where I applied a few of my current favourites: Dior Dior Forever Hydra Nude Natural Perfection Foundation, £52, and a touch of Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Concealer, currently £22.80. I also brushed my brows up using my favourite REFY Brow Sculpt, £20, and curled my eyelashes. Next I reached for the Rodial Blush Drops from the box, and this was probably the product that surprised me the most. Despite looking very orange in the bottle, it's actually a very flattering, shimmery shade of peach on the skin, and gives your face a gorgeous summery glow. On the cheeks, I found the Makeup Revolution Bright Light Highlighter to be a little too glam for everyday (although great for a full make-up look), but it looked lovely dotted on the eyelids, giving a subtle copper sheen. Next up was a sweep of the Delilah Eye Line Long Wear Retractable Pencil in my upper lash line, gentle smudged out to create a subtle smoky line. This creamy dark brown pencil is super-soft and blendable, with absolutely no dragging, so it's great for creating a smudgy look (rather than a crisp line). It also works really well in the waterline. My eyes were finished with a coat of the Sunkissed Curl & Flex Waterproof Mascara, which, although fairly basic, did the job well, lengthening and defining my lashes without setting super-hard and crumbly. The two items that I probably won't use much are the Pippa of London Defining Lip Liner and Supermatte Lipstick, purely because I hardly ever wear lip products. However, I was impressed by how soft, creamy and non-drying they were. A quick mist of the Brushworks Dewy Fine Mist Setting Spray (which is very fine) and I was ready to go. At the end of the day I took it all off with the Pixi EOD Cleansing Oil from the box, which quickly melted away my eye make-up without any need for rubbing or scrubbing. For me, the highlights inside this OK! Beauty Box are definitely the luxe skincare, but I was also really impressed with the Rodial blush and the mascara. Overall, I was super-happy with the end look at the top of this page, and with the addition of just a few other make-up staples, found everything I need to do my make-up in this box – and all for £55. However, if you're not a big fan of make-up, this box might not be for you as over half of the products are make-up items. You might be more interested in a skincare-focused box like Lookfantastic's The Skin Renewal Edit, which is valued at £210 but costs £45, or the Boots X Supergoop! Beauty Bag Edit, priced at £44 but worth over £90 (we've reviewed this one here).

'I played ITV's £250,000 gameshow – I didn't know it would be so stressful'
'Fancy playing an ITV game show?' As someone who is fiercely competitive, loves reality TV, and rarely turns down the promise of a free meal, being offered the chance to play The Fortune Hotel, ITV's big-budget game show with twists bigger than The Traitors, was a no-brainer. Of course, I was in. When do you ever get to experience what it's really like to be pitted against a bunch of strangers for the chance to win a £5,000 cash prize for the charity of your choice? Little did I know, just hours after arriving at The Gallivant Hotel in Rye, which had been transformed into The Fortune Hotel especially for the occasion, I'd be bursting into tears. Hosted by acclaimed actor and Green Wing funnyman Stephen Mangan, The Fortune Hotel follows 10 couples after they've checked into the swanky $1500 (£1,197) per night Silversands resort in Granada, hoping they'll be staying in the Caribbean for enough time to get a golden tan and be able to take home £250,000. But, obviously, it's not going to be easy. Each couple picks a suitcase at random that either contains the £250,000, wads of worthless bundles of paper, or the very unfortunate check-out card. At the end of each episode, the couples will open their cases and if they discover they're the owner of said check-out card, as the name suggests, their time in The Fortune Hotel is over. For everyone else, it's vital to keep your cards and the contents of your case close to your chest. Just one wrong look or the slightest slip-up could give your game away. And due to opportunities to have your case stolen during the competition, you could wake up with £250,000 one day and go to bed with scraps of A4. We weren't flown over to the Caribbean to play the game for a day, and there wasn't a case filled with £250,000 for us to take home – but even without a life-changing amount of money at stake, stress levels were high. We were put into pairs, and one by one we picked our case, opening it in front of the rival teams and hoping not to give any signals that might reveal the contents inside. Ours had nothing – it was a case full of blank paper. Regardless, I was shaking like I'd just opened a chest of gold – or the card that would see me banished. Suspicions were on us. Shortly after we'd all got our cases, there were a few minutes to mingle and suss out the competition before the first challenge of the day. We'd worked out who had the check-out card and had a good idea of who had the money through other contestants' body language. Everything was about to change, though. We were all sent to our rooms, clinging onto our cases, where we found an iPad and two cocktails. By this point, I needed a cocktail almost as much as the prize money, but with a quick sniff, it became clear this wasn't the type of Porn Star martini that was going to get me through the afternoon. Instead, the cocktails were killer combinations of rogue ingredients that had been disguised as a Bloody Mary and a Sex on The Beach. Both tasted like vinegar-flavoured mouthwash. We had to decipher the five ingredients in each cocktail and write them down on a blackboard, which we left outside our room. We then had to wait for a producer to tell us if we'd won. Whichever team identified the most ingredients would get a knock on the door and the chance to steal a case of their choosing, without any other team knowing about the exchange. Sadly, the knock never came for us. We were still stuck with our case of blank paper – but at least we didn't have the check-out card. Once the exchange had been completed, we were all brought back together to find out what the second challenge would entail. We were all looking around to see who seemed to be behaving differently now that a secret swap had been made. But there wasn't much time before we were each given a map, a list of clues and sent out of the hotel. Armed with a selfie stick, we had to work through the clues to reveal a series of local landmarks, then snap pictures there. Our correct answers would be tallied along with how quickly we got back to the hotel, and both would inform our score. We thought we'd taken all the right photos in less than 10 minutes and smugly dashed back to the hotel, handed over our photos and kicked back with a glass of wine. Turns out we were way off, taking just two correct photos out of four and ending up second to last. In the last round of the day, teams would be able to swap their case with any other team, starting with the team that came in last place on the treasure hunt. The winners would therefore have the benefit of having the final swap, choosing whichever case they wanted, knowing no one could take it from them. For the first time all day, it felt as though we were on the chopping block. Our chances of taking the prize money were doomed, and now it was just a matter of survival. If we had the check-out card, we were told it was curtains – we'd be going home, no overnight stay in the luxury hotel, and we'd be lucky to get a sandwich from a petrol station on the way home. My nerves were shot. After we'd swapped our case with a rival team (who we felt had become visibly more nervous after the cocktail challenge), we were pretty confident we were holding the prize money. But so did everyone else. The next team pinched our case from us immediately, and we were stuck with theirs, which, to my horror, felt noticeably lighter than the case we'd been clinging onto all day. Surely that could only mean one thing – we had the check-out card. One by one, the teams swapped, tensions were high, and the wait was unbearable. When it came to opening our case – convinced we were goners and about to do the walk of shame, escorted out of the hotel in front of the competition – I was trembling as we lifted the lid to reveal what was inside. Staring back at me was a case of paper, not the check-out card, and I was so overwhelmed with relief, I burst into tears. I've cried at Come Dine With Me, a particularly moving episode of Deal or No Deal, but for the first time in my life, I burst into tears over blank pieces of paper. In the end, the pair we were convinced had the suitcase of money actually did have the cash – until it was taken from them after the cocktail challenge. We weren't even playing for life-changing money, and the entire experience was wrapped up in a day. Contestants of the real The Fortune Hotel will have to endure the mental strain of playing for a six-figure cash prize and deceiving their rivals 24/7 for the entirety of filming. After being a faux reality TV contestant for a matter of hours, I have a newfound respect for anyone brave enough to play these games for real and not buckle. I would crumble at the first hurdle, come clean with the money and ruin my team's chances immediately. I didn't know life could be much more stressful than playing Articulate with your dad, who thinks Kim Kardashian was in Game of Thrones, but it turns out I was wrong. More Trending Playing The Fortune Hotel was by far one of the most exhilarating stresses I've ever experienced. If you're watching along tonight, I can promise you it is 10 times harder to play than it looks. If the contestants appear to be gradually losing their minds, you would, too. I am living proof without having any life-changing opportunities at stake. The Fortune Hotel airs Wednesday, August 6, at 9pm on ITV.

But despite her very long time being a movie star, she has revealed how people tend to get her name wrong. Kirsten also revealed how Brits are the worst for it. The Hollywood star said she has answered to everything including "criss-ten", "ker-stin". In a TikTok video from Town and Country magazine, she said: "I mean, everyone messes up my name, so I give up. "I don't care… I don't blame people. Like in England, they don't really say my name right. "The last set, everyone was saying my name wrong. There was like Swedish people and people from Hungary. You just give up." Kirsten then confirmed the correct way to say her name is, "Keer-sten". However, poking fun at her annoyance, she added: "But again, who cares? It's fine." Fans were left bowled over by this revelation, and one commented: "Omg I thought it was 'Ker-stin' my whole life!"

This one joked; "'Omg she's the reason everyone mispronounces my name. It's 'Kur-sten'." This isn't the first time that Kirsten has talked about what people call her. She previously revealed the nickname she had on the set of the Spider-Man films which she shot in the noughties - and she DID NOT like it. In the trilogy - which ran from 2022 until 2007 - she played Mary Jane Watson alongside Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker. However, whilst filming the blockbuster movies she was given a nickname. Speaking to Marie Claire magazine: "It was a joke, but on Spider-Man, they would call me 'girly-girl' sometimes on the walkie-talkie. "But I never said anything … Like, don't call me that." Speaking about the era in which it happened, Kirsten said: '"You didn't say anything (then). You just took it."
