The Third Man Factor: Saved from Certain Death by Apparitions


In his book The Third Man Factor, author John Geiger goes in search of an extraordinary phenomenon that has previously received little coverage: the oft-repeated experience of people at the very edge of death who feel the presence of an incorporeal being who encourages them and guides them to safety.

In the video below, Sevigny himself tells of what happened next:
