In part two of our exploration of the Third Man Syndrome, we
continue recounting harrowing tales of survival in extreme and
unusual environments or “EUEs,” such as Christopher Columbus’
15th-century pilot taking the helm for Joshua Slocum during the
first solo circumnavigation of the globe; and Aron Ralston’s
excruciating canyon escape after becoming trapped for 127
hours. We then explore the scientific hypotheses as to why
this surprisingly not-so-rare phenomenon occurs. As
researchers and authors Peter Suedfeld and John Geiger stated,
theories can range from the mystical to the psychodynamic to the
situational and the neurological. Listeners will also
recognize that some proposed causes overlap with past show
concepts such as infrasound, the “God Helmet,” and Shadow
People. Whatever the explanation is for an ethereal savior
appearing in a desperate moment of need, and like so many
paranormal happenings, to the beholder, what matters is that it
was real enough. And the Third Man was real enough to save
their lives.
