Third Man Syndrome: A Mysterious Phenomenon of Survival
The Third Man Syndrome, also known as the Third Man Factor, is a phenomenon reported by individuals in life-threatening situations like mountaineers and explorers, where they sense an unseen presence offering support and guidance. This presence is often felt during extreme stress, fear, or isolation, providing encouragement and practical advice for survival. Notable accounts include explorer Ernest Shackleton's experience during his Antarctic expedition and T.S. Elliot's popularization of the phenomenon in The Waste Land. The cause of this phenomenon remains unknown, with theories suggesting it could be a coping mechanism, hallucination, or spiritual manifestation.
