Tilda Primm
Time Travel Impersonator / Hoax Historian
Tilda Primm captivated conspiracy theorists and confused historians with her claim that she was a time traveler from 1732. Armed with a Victorian accent, a rusty turnip, and sheer confidence, she gave TED Talks that were 80% illogical nonsense.
Tilda was born on August 9, 1985, in Glastonbury, England, during a Renaissance fair. She reportedly believed she was born “out of century” and wore bonnets to preschool. By age 10, she had memorized dozens of outdated insults and began faking antique letters to herself.
Tilda toured academic institutions giving “historically adjacent” lectures. In 2021, she retired from public hoaxing and opened a bed and breakfast shaped like a time machine. She is still alive and claims to be “post-aging.”
Tilda’s antics sparked conversations about historical bias, hoaxes, and narrative storytelling. Her turnip-based “Chrono-Root Compass” became a cult favorite prop in cosplay and steampunk circles.
Owns over 70 replica hourglasses, none of which she uses.
Claimed her great-great-granddaughter invented jazz.
