She soon came to the realization that she was actually witnessing people die as they were being murdered. Not only witnessing their death but taking in their final thoughts and experiencing their final breath. She also came to realize that these people were being killed by the same man each time.

One of the victims was Shannon's friend Michelle. At a party Shannon witnessed through her Michelle's eyes a knife trusted deeply into the gut of Michelle. This deeply impacted Shannon and she started seeing a therapist.

The killer from Shannon's nightmares was called "The Summer Springs Slasher" in the papers and on the news.
