Third man factor: brain tricks you

[Isaac]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Man_factor
"The Third Man factor or Third Man syndrome refers to the reported situations where an unseen presence such as a "spirit" provides comfort or support during traumatic experiences. "

"In recent years well-known adventurers like climber Reinhold Messner and polar explorers Peter Hillary and Ann Bancroft have reported the experience."

"Scientific explanations consider this a coping mechanism or an example of bicameralism."

The brain really needs an owners manual if it can pull tricks like that...
