There is a six-hour discrepancy at this clock tower in Scranton, Pennsylvania, documented by Scott Chenoweth.  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.

We spotted a temporal anomaly in this clock tower from Toike Oike, 1965.  It's simultaneously 9:00 and 3:00.

When we're asked, as chronologicians, to correct a temporal anomaly, we often have to explain that it's not as easy as resetting a clock, for there are mighty forces out there.  From NY School of Agriculture at Alfred University's 1942 yearbook.

Temporal anomaly investigator Michael Pereckas shares this photo from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Of course the clock faces on the near tower don't agree, when the far tower broadcasts non-time in four directions.  What we see here is a mechanical attempt to average out temporal incertitude and arrive at equilibriality.
