Every so often, there’s an alleged time travel story that takes the world by storm.
Either a famous claim made by a shadowy someone… or a recently unearthed artifact
that appears to suggest that traveling in time is possible. Usually, though,
what really forces the watching public to properly take note… is a prophecy.
This is Unveiled, and today we’re taking a closer look at some of
the most bizarre predictions ever made by time travelers.

In one way or another, prophecies have been a part of human culture since ancient times. Messages and
lessons delivered as if from another realm, seemingly in a bid to help our species… or at
least prepare us for what’s to come. Of course, the predictions made often don’t come to pass.
The year 2012, for example, never turned out to be quite so apocalyptic as some had spent years
beforehand insisting it would be. Whenever we add time travel into the equation, though, there’s an
all new dynamic to whatever’s being said. Anyone claiming to be a time traveler can also allege to
have literally (and physically) seen the future. So, what have they got to say for themselves?
Throughout 2022 and 2023, so-called TikTok time travelers took most of the
headlines. And probably the most high profile claimant is Eno Alaric. A prevalent poster,
Alaric says that he comes from the year 2671. He’s delivered multiple, variously outlandish
and potentially concerning revelations about the future. And has before said that he’s only doing
so in the hope that he might be able to help us to change our future as a result of having the
prior knowledge. But, nevertheless, many of the events that he insists will happen (or should
have happened by now) are unusual. For example, in March 2023, that 8,000 people - chosen to be
the saviors of humanity - will be taken to another world. Or, in October 2023,
that a massive solar flare would strike our planet and trigger a weeks-long purge, during which crime
on Earth would rise by 12,000 percent. Some of Alaric’s claims have also been built around the
ongoing studies being conducted by the James Webb Space Telescope - including that it will discover
a mirror Earth and also that it will observe a giant space creature eating stars, and that
that creature will one day come for our sun. None of the above has yet to actually happen, though.
While few have garnered quite as much attention as Alaric has, there are other alleged time
travelers now using TikTok as their outlet of choice, as well. Almost across the board,
the predictions that are pushed are not especially good for humankind. Massive natural disasters,
asteroid strikes, deadly contagions - all have cropped up from time to time. But easily the
most common shared theme is alien invasion. Again, Eno Alaric has continuously insisted
that a very hostile alien group is coming, while also suggesting some more specific examples - such
as that a human-like species will be discovered inside Mount Everest… and that they’ll do anything
for power. Meanwhile, another user, claiming to be from the year 2906 has said that we will soon
discover a hidden and malevolent civilization that has long been lurking out of sight and
underground - in a seemingly parallel realm known as Azawa. The user claims that this civilization
could be responsible for many of the worst disasters that have happened in human history.
Again, though, as of writing, the predicted discovery of this group hasn’t come to pass.
Clearly, eye-catching time travel prophecies have become something of a social media trend
in recent times… but, of course, this is hardly the first that the world has heard
from supposed people from the future. In 2019, the name Darryl Dean briefly made headlines,
following a video published on YouTube by ApexTV in which it’s claimed that Dean can be heard in
a genuine audio file insisting that he is from the future. Dean says that he was born in 2006 but, at
that time, was only stopping off in our present… as he was, at that time, actually twenty-seven
years old. Something that seemingly couldn’t be true without the mixed up timelines that time
travel affords. Dean went on to make a series of relatively standard revelations - such as that,
in the future, supermarkets and restaurants are run by robots, we all have self-driving cars,
and we all have the chance to use brain chips to enhance our cognitive abilities. However,
perhaps the most eye-catching part of this alleged case was that Dean claims that time
travel itself is made public in the year 2028. Which, coincidentally or not, he says is also
around the same time that it’s revealed to us that aliens do exist and have been visiting Earth.
That particular time, in and around 2028, has become something of a running theme through many
time travel stories, though. In one instance, a TikToker, known as Javier, claims to be currently
living in 2027, when he reportedly believes he is the only person left on planet Earth. His videos
show the deserted streets of what otherwise should be busy Spanish cities - including Valencia,
Barcelona and Madrid. Javier says that he’s been trying to find other humans in what he
paints as the post-apocalypse, but everyone else appears to have disappeared. Exactly how or why is
unclear. The same year, 2028, also came up in another high profile example, that of “Noah”,
who again made headlines (and actually toured newsrooms) in and around 2018. He claimed to be
from the future and, once more, that time travel is revealed to the public in 2028. However,
after a series of videos - many of which were also posted on ApexTV - Noah came clean, revealing that
his story had been a hoax from the start. That he’d more simply researched (very thoroughly) what
a time traveler might know, and had then delivered that as though genuine. The real Noah - who’s
actually named Jason - also implied that the experience had created various mental pressures.
Naturally, and even before the realization that Noah isn’t real, pretty much all time travel
claims are met with a great deal of skepticism. Internet videos of apparently deserted cities
are certainly eerie, but the counter argument is that they could just as well have been staged,
somehow edited, or just timed extremely well. And, for all his growing fame and followers,
Eno Alaric has fallen considerably short on many of the prophecies he’s delivered so
far. Aliens haven’t invaded, people haven’t been selected to live on a far off planet,
and the purge hasn’t really begun. At least not yet. For those apparently wanting to share
the truth about time travel, it’s a thin line between capturing global attention,
descending into urban myth, and then sliding into obscurity.
Finally, the case of Andrew Carlssin comes to mind, who in 2003 is said to have been arrested
after an improbable (even impossible) run of good fortune on the stock market saw him turn
an $800 initial investment into $350 million. It’s then said that, while being interrogated
by law enforcement, Carlssin claimed to have known the markets so well because he was a
time traveler. Next, he supposedly offered up insider knowledge from the future - including
about ongoing criminal cases and scientific research - in a bid to avoid punishment. His
bail was then posted by an unknown person… and Carlssin was never seen again. However, the line
between real and fake is again massively blurred, with it said in more recent times that the entire
story actually began life as a satirical (and untrue) news report… that eventually made its
way into the mainstream news distributors, and therefore it became widely believed.
Carlssin’s is a significant cautionary tale, then… although it does raise a more general
point that could serve to prove (or disprove) time travel in the future. While Carlssin (real
or made up) isn’t associated with any especially doomsday prophecies, the story surrounding him
does show how even a small amount of knowledge about the future could turn you into a very rich,
powerful and influential person in the present. That is, until that knowledge is
known by everyone… which is a before-and-after moment that may or may not happen in 2028.

has to be true? Let us know in the comments! But,
for now - whether it’s star-eating super aliens or the total disappearance of
humankind - those are some of the most bizarre predictions ever made by time travelers.
