Ok I also clicked on the youtube link and everyone was agreeing with an assessment by this 'SonnySideInc' Took a while but I found his comment.
Quote :
the most likely answer is that the "woman" has just left the dentist where she had a tooth pulled or some other procedure on her jaw/teeth. She could be holding a thin slab of dry ice/regular ice wrapped in cloth or a chilled piece of wrapped metal to reduce swelling and provide some comfort from the pain. She is not talking but merely moving her jaw in an attempt again to soothe the pain by working the cold into the affected area of her jaw.
Seems reasonable, without any cell phone towers or network how could you make a call?

You know I didn't even think of that one R, didn't even cross my mind.
I can't believe that that guy who made the vid didn't pick up on this as well. Sheesh.

The close-up and slow mo still looks to me that she is talking on a cell phone.

What about the cell towers then Mic; do you think maybe they had some sort of device she could use like that; I suppose if she was time travelling they could. It is one to ponder for sure......

well believe it or don't this was on the news tonight..they said it was a hearing device...
i agree with the guy in the vid that it looks like a man in drag..especially the face as he turns towards the camera at the end.. so i started to see if i could find a picture of hearing aid/devices of 1920..i have found several mentions that they were the first 'transitor' aids.... anyway i am still loking bu found this really cool sight with old captioned pics..the list says 1900 to 1030 check out this pic
is that a guy or girl??? and the technology is way ahead of when i thought it came about seems to me we jst aren't as advanced as we think we are..

Okay I had a close look at this and I shall throw my thoughts out.
He/she looks like they have a glove on their hand, their steps seem pretty strident for an old woman? mmmmh.
It does not necessarily have to be a time traveller from our era, it could be someone from somewhere else........................an hypothesis to think about.
If you exclude the idea that she is an old nutter yabbering away; the only old nutters I have seen yabbering away are usually talking to themselves not with something to their ear.
I get the feeling that whoever they are they are talking on a device but that's just mho.
