7 People Who Claimed To Be Time Travelers

The story of Hakan Nordkvist stands out from the list of time travel tales, insofar as he didn't claim to move through time deliberately. Rather, he says he accidentally slipped through a serendipitous portal while attending to a pipe underneath his sink.

You might think that sounds fanciful, but the Swede actually recorded a video on his mobile to document it. It shows him bumping into a 70-year-old version of himself, and sharing a casual chat about the fact that they had matching tattoos on their lower right arms.

To be fair, the video definitely depicts a pair of bald Swedish blokes with the same body-ink. There's no arguing with that. Granted, they could have just found two vaguely similar-looking bald men and drawn fake tattoos on them, but that seems like a lot of hassle.

No, this one is definitely legit. It definitely wasn't just part of a viral marketing campaign designed to get people in Sweden thinking about their pension plans. That'd be ridiculous.
