The Montauk Air Force Station is rumored to house a massive, subterranean laboratory where top-secret government experiments in time travel are being conducted. Rumors began in the early 1980s when two men, Preston Nichols and Al Bielek, said that they had begun to recover suppressed memories of working in the lab. Many believe that the laboratory managed to create a "time tunnel," which allowed scientists to travel back to 1943.

Von Helton the Time-Traveling Vampire
Known simply as VonHelton, this enigmatic figure suggests he might be part vampire, but asserts he is 100% time traveler. He has provided proof of his time travel prowess by lining up side-by-side photographs of himself starting in a studio in 1857 England, with stops in 1916 France, 1945 Berlin, and ending in the modern day in front of an American flag. Is he, in fact, a time traveler? Or is his "vampire gene" keeping him immortal?

Man Meets Himself
Hakan Nordqvist was having a normal if irksome time fixing his leaky sink when he suddenly found himself crawling through a tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was Hakan himself - but as an older man, somewhere around 70. So that his claims wouldn't be refuted, Hakvan filmed himself jovially embracing… himself. The footage even shows the two men showing off their matching tattoos.

Time Traveler Discovers the Secrets of Macedonia
Pasko Kuzman is a Macedonian archaeologist whose findings are considered incredibly important in his field — oh, and he's also a self-proclaimed time traveler. He wears multiple watches on one arm, which he says help him travel through time: one takes him back to the Bronze and Neolithic Age, one takes him to the future, and the third is "The Archeologists' Watch," which alerts him to the presence of gold. Could his archeological fame be due to actually having visited the past?

Time Traveler Caught in 1941 Photo
At first glance, this photo appears to be nothing out of the ordinary — The picture above, taken in 1941 is from the reopening in South Forks of Gold Bridge in British Columbia. The bridge was almost entirely washed away during a flood in 1940. One man appears to be oddly out of place wearing ray-bans sunglasses in the middle of a much more formal group of hat and tie wearing locals. Observers at the museum where this photo is on display have also noted that he is wearing a silk-screen tee shirt, this technology was not available in the 1940's and he is also holding a modern 35 mm camera. The photo has been authenticated to be 70+ years old.

Time Traveler Caught on Film Speaking on Cell Phone
This was an early motion picture that was filmed in 1937 and released in 1938. It appears to show a woman dressed unlike the rest coming down the stairs talking on an unknown device. There is no question that she is speaking as she descends the stairs while holding a small object next to her ear. We can only wonder who is she speaking to and and what exactly is she speaking in!
