Can this clock face be accurate?  Yes!  There's literary proof: "September Midnight" (Sara Teasdale, Poetry magazine, 1914) as well as September 12th (2002).  A novel entitled One October (Steve Stratton, 2011).  A book of Haiku entitled November 2.  And so on: December Third, January 4th, February 5th ... you get the idea with that.

From The Film Daily, 1946.

We encountered and determined the cause of a temporal anomaly in the city of Colorado Springs, Colorado.  The clock in the bedroom of our historic farmhouse lodging displays a frozen time.  As constant investigators of such phenomena, we saw the source of the problem instantly.  Placed right next to the clock is an empty antique birdcage.  That relic is the cause of the clock's inoperability.  An empty cage traditionally symbolizes that something in one's life has escaped; we've all heard that "time flies," and so QED.  Though the cause is simple enough, great mysteries yet abound, for has an old clock in a nearby farmhouse now gained time?  By the way, that slip of paper in the corner of our photo is from a fortune cookie that a stranger gifted me after the Ghost concert we attended (ticket and earplugs also pictured).  The fortune reads, "Do what is right, not what you should."  (And yes, apparently we do take and eat candy from strangers.)

A pocket watch that chimed the bells of a fairy city.  From What Time Is It? by M. Ilin and illustrated by N. Lapshin, 1932.

It looks like the reflected sign below the clocks says "colon room," and for our purposes that's auspicious, for the colon in a modern clock brings the digital realm to the analog one pictured.  Yes, this is a time travel device.  For vital instructions on how to use these sorts of photos for mystical ends, see How to Hoodoo Hack a Yearbook.

This time-bending photograph is from Lambuth's 1977 yearbook.  

We spotted a temporal anomaly at "the crookedest church in the world."  This Greek church, in the village of Ropoto, became wonky due to a landslide.  There are two clock towers (bravo!) with faces that don't agree.  (The guys from Exploring the Unbeaten Path venture inside the church for a mind-warping experience.)  You'll likely have already diagnosed this temporal anomaly: as David Miller has said, "when space is folded, time is folded."  Yet profound mysteries yet abound: how is this church intact, resting as it does at that incredible angle?

From Duke's 1932 yearbook.

Here's a temporal anomaly at Stanford, documented by Matt Rubens, who notes that "Many a bike accident took place here."  And no wonder!  Bicyclists riding free and clear at different times will collide when a warp in the fabric of reality makes them suddenly simultaneous.  Though we weren't on location to discover the exact cause of the timely weirdness, we offer this photo to help hone the insights of would-be investigators of temporal anomalies.  The more clocks one sees that are "on the fritz" (Fritz being the German clockmaker who first went "cuckoo"), the better attuned one will be to time warps in the wild.

"As we follow the sun -- so follow the seasons."  From Mansfield's 1950 yearbook.

"When clocks disagree the one we trust takes precedence."  But what if we're justifiably distrustful of all clocks?  From The Image of Eternity: Roots of Time in the Physical World by David Allen Park, 1980.

We encountered and determined the cause of a temporal anomaly in the quaint Victorian downtown of Van Buren, Arkansas.  The courthouse clock tower displays two times, only one of which is correct.  As constant investigators of such phenomena, we traced the source of the problem almost immediately.  Directly below the clock face that announced the wrong time, and next to the 1820 schoolhouse where the prominent Freemason Albert Pike first taught, there is a sundial with a broken pointer.  That is the cause of the clock tower's divergence, magnified by the sundial's proximity to one of the oldest standing buildings in Arkansas.  Though the cause is simple enough, great mysteries yet abound, for the nature of time itself is shrouded.  And what, perchance, do the Freemasons have to do with this particular enigma?

It is simultaneously 4:00 and 8:00 in this temporal anomaly from Serbia, documented by Bicanski.  We might note a bit of irony: although time at that clock tower is unstable, the numbers four and eight happen to be symbolic of stability, symmetry, and squareness in Chinese culture.  Though we weren't on location to discover the exact cause of this timely weirdness, we offer this photo to help hone the insights of would-be investigators of temporal anomalies.  The more clocks one sees that are "on the fritz" (Fritz being the German clockmaker who first went "cuckoo"), the better attuned one will be to time warps in the wild.

"A decrepit clock tower told the Byzantine hours" (Colin Thubron, Night of Fire, 2017).

We encountered a temporal anomaly in the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  All four sides of the clock tower at St. Paul's Episcopal in Elkins Park told a different, frozen time.  As constant investigators of such phenomena, we carefully searched the church grounds for the source of the problem, sidestepping slippery acorns and dodging a fallen electrical wire by the graveyard.  The entire property is frankly decrepit, with the cemetery unkempt and the overall impression being one of abandonment.  As historic preservationists ourselves, the state of this 163-year-old church was painful, to put it mildly.  With so much disorder, it was difficult to pinpoint a specific cause for the temporal anomaly, so we looked within the name of the church itself.  "St. Paul's Episcopal" is an anagram of "as collapses tip up."  You will no doubt recognize that last phrase as a twist on the great Hermetic axiom, "as above, so below."  The collapsing physical structure of the church, having slowly fallen into decrepitude over time, is reflected above, in the clock tower.  "It is time for Episcopalians across the country to rise up" (Ruy O. Costa).
