Time Travel From 1856?

Time Travel From 1856?

Imagine going outside of your house for a moment and you find,  robots everywhere, cars flying; any  of those futuristic ideas floating around your mind.  And suddenly you find yourself in the year of 2122.  How would you feel if this really happened in real life.

Of course you may say, this will not happen, it cannot happen, this is absurd.  Today I will be going over one of the most famous time travel story's out there about Rudolf Fenz.

It is said Rudolf Fenz could have time travelled about a 100 years into the future. There are people who believe he has travelled in time,  and even more individuals say its a myth, it definitely not true,  it's just a human made story.  

Around the 1990's : This time travel incident was popular on the internet. We will be going over Rudolf Fenz - a 29 year old man's story, did he travel through time, how did he get noticed by so many people, and the details of it.

During 1951 in New York a individual walks down Times square wearing something much different, than others.  Nothing like the year of 1951,  but as if he is from a century before that period. Wearing those long hats, fully robed clothing, as you can imagine.

The year is 1951, so people around him notices him quickly and starts thinking who is he, where is he going like that. He suddenly starts walking quickly, and begins to cross the street as if there is no signal. People around him have stopped when they have seen the red signal light, but he continues to cross the street as if he does not recognize the signal lights.  A car  sees the green light and continues to approach the street, others recognize the car coming and tries to let the driver know a person is crossing; but the driver sees the green lights so he kept driving  and eventually  crashes that individual. Here Rudolf Fenz falls and gets injured drastically and passes away because of the injury's from the crash.

So people call the police.  puzzled at who he is, wearing something so different; no one is able to identify him. When the police arrives they also have that surprised look on their faces because of how he is.

They take Rudolf Fenz and examine his body.  To their surprise they find a copper token in his belongings, a five cent beer, a bill for horse washing, $70 worth of cash. This is interesting because no one rides horses during 1951, and have horse washing bills during than.   As we have car wash bills now, he had a bill for horse washing.

They also find a business card which says Rudolf Fenz, fifth avenue on it. Finally they find a letter that was written to Rudolf Fenz from 1856, but the period they find all these things is happening during 1951.  

This makes the case more strange, so they think is someone playing a prank and die because of that.  In 1951, they are finding things that look like they are from the past century, but are in mint condition.

So the investigating officer goes to the address, they found from the business card, and asks around if they are aware of anyone named Rudolf Fenz. People there have said no, no one lives in that name here. So the officer gets no leads here as well, and questions how long have you been living here; and again this is the address that was on the business card.  The people there are saying they have been there for about 50 to 60 years and they have not heard that name either.

So now the investigating officer is shocked and confused more by what's happening now.  So he questions more people, looks around if there is any missing files under the name Rudolf Fenz, or if anyone is searching for someone without any cases. He finds no luck in any of these searches.

He finally decides to go through the yellow pages. Hoping that he will find something here. Since this book will have the name and phone number registered  of every individual on it,  they find someone named Rudolf Fenz Jr. This was under the year 1939.  

Believing that they have found a clue towards this case, the officer goes to that address. But he finds out that, Rudolph Fentz jr passed away five years ago. So once again he searches for information, asks people and finds out that his wife is alive and she is living in  Florida.  Now the officers starts believing is this something unnatural,  demonic happening. And unknowingly he is getting involved.  Because time travel was not something popular during 1951.  

He goes to Florida to search for Rudolph Fentz jr partner, and finally finds her there. She explains to him that Rudolph Fentz jr did not speak about Rudolph Fentz, because Rudolph Fentz went for walking one day and never returned home. During child hood Rudolph Fentz jr and his family would go searching for him, kept waiting for him to return and got into financial burden as well.  Rudolph Fentz never returned, because of this he never talks about him, he dislikes him.

So again the investigator still feels dissatisfied about not knowing what's really happening, so finds out that that if they filed a case years ago; it should be filed in the records.

They find records of the wife's  complaint: for  Rudolph Fentz .  That he has gone missing.  So he goes over the documents, it is said that he could not be found and the case was labeled as missing person case, and closed the case.  

The investigator is puzzled by all this,  re thinking all the events again . Rudolph Fentz has gone missing a hundred years ago, suddenly appears during 1951 with the same clothes; same belongings and passes away in New York because of car crash.  How can he skip a hundred years, and be found now ?, Is it a prank ? , is it black magic ?

He could not find out the truth even to the end.  Thinking that if he writes a report on all these events, other officers, and people would ridicule, mock him, think he is mad; he writes that the body is unknown and finishes the case.

The investigator during his later periods of life tells others these events, and many do not believe him.  Those who do believe in these events shared it with others who share similar beliefs. In 1971 some one who believes this is true, writes an article and publishes it in America, those who believe this is true continues to believe it because of that.

A Spanish generalist has said in 1951 a booked named I am scared came out, and it had similar events to Rudolph Fentz situations. A officer came, found a person dead,  Jr .... This is from that book and it is just a made up story, myth, urban legend, people just started believing in it, the Spanish generalist has said.

Question for this post is.

What is your guys opinion on this ?
