Some have speculated it is a natural phenomena, and that it may be the same sort of thing that gives rise to hauntings. Psychic imprints of the past that are so strong they continue to repeat again and again. But then, that doesn't explain how we can interact with them.

Equally baffling, why do we never hear reports of people time travelling into the future? Or is it simply that we don't recognize those reports? After all, would YOU know if you walked into a place that was a decade or two in the future? You'd have no point of reference for the styles and slang, while waking up in say the 70s would certainly stand out. Indeed, perhaps these time slips are a purely mental phenomena, which is still interesting.

Incidentally, if I remember correctly there was at some point a bunch of "lights fighting eachother" in the sky of medieval Germany. I can't remember the name of the incident, but it's been brought up before as "Aliens fighting aliens" and whatnot.

Someone hypothesized that what actually happened was a time slip in which the people saw a WW2 battle in the sky.

Indeed, I'm going to have to do some research for myself.

. "The people who experience them always seem to find their way back to their own time period, which is odd, because one would expect there should be time lost people wandering about here or there."

How would you hear about them otherwise?


A recent TV series did some novel things with ghosts/hauntings from different time periods.-
The main character sees a lady walking around using a tablet for instance.

They could have just imagined it up- if they were studying the period or knew a little about it, it wouldn't be too hard.

What about people who claim to have had previous lives?

it's bullshit.

Are you gonna give us any evidence or links or are you just gonna keep telling us "some people say..."

I don't know about all that. Apart from a very few specific turning points in history, I can't think think a glimpse of the future a couple decades hence would leave you with absolutely no frame of reference whatsoever. I can imagine being transported from 1997 to 2017; I think my first questions would be

>what the fuck kind of personal digital assistants are those, that everybody in this neighborhood is fiddling around with? Holy shit, is that guy making a phone call on his? Is this some kind of tech conference?
>the hell is that inhaler thing that dude just hit on and blew a fuck-huge cloud of steam from?
>why are all these cunts wearing chin-strap beards? who has those?
>where the fuck did all these weird, tiny SUV things these people are driving come from? They look like a VW Beetle fucked a Ford Bronco and no one had the good sense to euthanize the offspring. Why haven't I seen a proper station wagon since I got on this street?

Slang and fashion haven't really changed enough in twenty years to be unrecognizable. People still wear t-shirts and jeans, only now the t-shirts have ironic slogans on them rather than "Aeropostale" and "Abercrombie and Fitch" in obnoxious status-signaling font. And as far as slang goes, what's even entered the lexicon that wasn't a thing twenty years ago? 'Bae'? 'Woke'? 'Netflix and chill'? How often to people even say that shit in real life, honestly? I mean we're still using slang that was popularized in the 20s or 30s. Even some that predates that by a long stretch, like 'ok', that's been part of our collective vocabulary long enough that we basically forget it's slang in the first place.

I think you'd have to go quite a ways into the distant future before culture changed enough that you couldn't recognize it at all.
