The Third Man Factor: The Mysterious Presence That Saves Lives

🧗‍♂️ Lost. Trapped. On the brink of death. Then, suddenly—you’re not alone. Survivors of life-threatening situations have reported a mysterious presence guiding them to safety. This eerie phenomenon, known as the Third Man Factor, has been experienced by climbers, sailors, astronauts, and disaster survivors alike. But what is it?

Is it a biological survival instinct? A hallucination caused by extreme stress? Or could it be something supernatural—a guardian angel, spirit guide or something we haven’t yet considered?

🎙️ In this episode, we explore:

🔹 Real-life survival stories featuring the Third Man Factor

🔹 Scientific theories like psychosis, hallucinations and bicameral mentality

🔹 Paranormal theories—guardian angels, spirits, folkloric entities and interdimensional beings                                                                      🔹 How ancient myths and folklore may connect to this phenomenon 

💡 Could this be proof of an unseen force guiding and protecting us… or just the mind’s ultimate survival tool?
