Oh I love stories like these. It just opens up your imagination to different possibilities you'd normally assume were impossible. I've read a couple of blogs and I think people are just so excited about the prospect of time travel that they'd just as much believe anything.

That is bizarre. Very weird.

It reminds me of that photo taken of a group of people in Canada at the opening of a bridge and amongst the crowd is a guy in modern-looking clothing carrying what looks a digital camera - even though the photo was taken in 1940.

If you look at that photo, the head of the man holding the "digital camera" is much larger than the heads of men and women closer to the camera that took this photo. Hmmmm....

Ugh that's weird, because the blog that I was reading that I mentioned in the post directly before yours was on that exact subject, the man at the Canadian bridge reopening.

Northern Ontario,
That lady's feet seemed to be about a foot and a half long.

The original film was probably digitized and enhanced for viewing in modern equipment.

Most of those film were redone professionally in 4:3 aspect ratio and if you will note that the you tube poster produced his video in 16:9 aspect ratio and as you can see...his face and body have normal proportions in the video...
Not so in the Chaplin video you can see that he forgot to compensate with the change in aspect ratio and everything seems extraordinarily wide for the height, distorting the size of heads and feet
