A man drove with his wife and daughter to a nearby postal office, with the intention to send a postcard to someone. The husband parked the car and while he was walking down the street towards the postal office, his wife and daughter witnessed him disappearing and reappearing about five minutes later.

The man was convinced that he traveled about 100 years back in time. Instead of the postal office, there was a stationery (paper shop). He even came back with few sheets of 'waxed' paper, the common writing paper of those times.
