Time travel is currently impossible. But that doesn't stop it from being an obsession of various science fiction enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists.
These photos seem to show time travelers wearing anachronistic future clothing, caught on camera in eras of the past.
The people in these photos are probably just freaks who dress weird but don’t let that stifle your imagination.
