🕯 Episode Synopsis

In “Premonition,” young college student David Lawrence (Warren Beatty, in one of his earliest screen roles) is suddenly overwhelmed by a disturbing sense of dread. He feels certain that something terrible is about to happen to his father, who lives in another city. The feeling is so powerful that David cannot sleep or focus — he knows with absolute conviction that his father’s life is in danger.

When he finally gives in to his fears and returns home, David arrives too late — his father has already been killed in a tragic accident. What’s more chilling is that every detail of the event matches the flashes and sensations he had days before — down to the exact time and setting.

John Newland presents the story as an authentic case of psychic premonition — exploring how emotional bonds between family members may transcend time and distance.

✨ Fun Facts & Trivia

• John Newland later cited “Premonition” as one of the stories that most convinced him of the reality of psychic phenomena.

Warren Beatty’s performance lends realism to the concept of second sight, turning what could have been pure fantasy into a deeply human tragedy. It remains a standout early episode — both eerie and poignant — from the golden age of television storytelling.
