Introduction

In the “Spooked” episode titled “I Know What You Did Next Summer - Snap Classic,” host Glynn Washington delves into chilling true-life supernatural experiences shared by individuals who question the boundary between dreams and reality. This episode features two gripping stories: one from Jody Torpy and another from Silvana, both of whom encounter eerie premonitions that blur the lines between their subconscious and waking lives.

Jody Torpy’s Haunting Premonition

Timestamp: [06:25]

Jody Torpy begins her narrative with a seemingly ordinary trip to Denver with two work friends. Their weekend getaway takes a sinister turn during a deep sleep when Jody experiences a vivid dream:

“I was alone in my car and I was driving down the streets in lower downtown Denver. It was a very deserted area, like a skid row...” [06:30]

In the dream, she encounters a young man in a green army jacket who approaches her car with menacing intent. The tension peaks when he pulls out a gun:

“…he pulls a gun out of his pocket.” [10:45]

Jody awakens in a panic, heart pounding, but dismisses it as merely a nightmare. The following day, despite the festive Christmas atmosphere in Denver, she remains unsettled by her dream’s vividness.

Later, while exploring downtown Denver, Jody’s reality mirrors her nightmare. At a stoplight, she spots the very man from her dream:

“Everything was exactly as my dream. The green army jacket, the blond hair, the collar up, hands in his pocket.” [11:15]

As the man approaches her car, the situation escalates. Terrified, Jody accelerates away, narrowly escaping a confrontation that aligns eerily with her subconscious warning.

“If you see your dream killer in real life, run, don’t walk, run away.” [16:52]

Jody's story serves as a stark reminder of the thin veil between dreams and reality, highlighting how deep-seated fears and premonitions can manifest in unsettling ways.

Silvana’s Visions of Danger

Timestamp: [17:27]

Silvana shares her terrifying journey with premonitory dreams that foretell real-life tragedies. Beginning at the age of 13, her dreams initially seemed like mere nightmares but soon revealed themselves as prophetic visions.

“I never knew which ones were dreams and which ones were going to come true.” [18:05]

One particularly harrowing dream involved a masked man threatening her beloved dog, Scamp. In her vision, the man equipped with a machete targets her directly:

“…he was aiming for me and not my dog.” [21:30]

This dream precedes a tragic event where Silvana’s dog tragically dies, mirroring the distressing imagery from her nightmare. The recurring presence of the masked man, later identified in news footage as “the Masked Man,” who targets young girls, solidifies the reality of her fears.

“They didn’t give him a name. They just called him the Masked Man.” [24:50]

Despite her attempts to prevent the predicted tragedy by taking precautionary measures, including changing her dog’s sleeping arrangements and safeguarding her home, the Masked Man remains a looming threat.

Silvana’s experience underscores the profound impact that prophetic dreams can have on one’s psyche, blurring the lines between foresight and fear.

Conclusion

Glynn Washington concludes the episode by reflecting on the shared stories of Jody Torpy and Silvana, emphasizing the lingering effects of such supernatural encounters. He warns listeners to heed their intuitive fears:

“Be afraid. So I understand if you prefer not to battle these dark forces and instead enjoy amazing storytelling under the bright light of day.” [29:42]

This episode of “Spooked” masterfully intertwines personal testimonies with the eerie possibility that our dreams might be more than just subconscious musings, leaving listeners contemplating the mysteries that lie between sleep and wakefulness.
