Ep. 149 From Beyond the Veil
Download MP3On this Shadow Short episode, host B.T. Wallace steps into H.P. Lovecraft’s From Beyond and asks whether the story’s central idea may be more than horror fiction. Across ancient cultures, people have described an unseen world populated by spirits, gods, angels, demons, ancestors, and other intelligences existing beyond ordinary human perception. Modern theories often reduce those accounts to misunderstood extraterrestrials, but the older traditions point to something far stranger. From the pineal gland and the “third eye” to altered states of consciousness, sensory deprivation, psychedelics, dreams, and Christian warnings about the unseen realm, B.T. explores the possibility that the veil separating visible and invisible reality may be thinner than we think and asks what might already be standing on the other side.
