From The Shadows is a long-running paranormal interview show with a strong witness-first shape. Shane Grove usually opens the door, then lets guests walk through the whole strange scene in their own words. The stories often begin somewhere ordinary. A county road. A mail route. A farm. A turnpike plaza. A streetlight at night. From there, the show moves into Bigfoot sightings, dogman encounters, pale crawler reports, skunk ape memories, vampire stories, skinwalker-like figures, and giant flying things that interrupt a normal drive. The appeal is not just the creature. It is the way each guest tries to make sense of what should have been a deer, a coyote, a bear, a bat, or a trick of fog, then keeps landing on the same problem: it did not move right, look right, or belong there. Shane’s role is host. He asks about distance, light, local wildlife, what road they were on, whether anyone else saw it, and what the witness thought in the moment. He does not flatten the stories into neat conclusions. He also does not make the guests sound foolish for being unsure. That gives the show a warm, lived-in feel even when the material is eerie. Recent episodes lean heavily into Ohio and Indiana, with South Bend, Ashland, North Central Ohio, Notre Dame references, and turnpike settings giving the accounts a grounded regional texture. Florida stories bring in death premonitions, Bigfoot, and skunk apes. The feed also includes Midweek Howl episodes, where the paranormal gives way to looser talk, listener names, personal updates, crime-spree material, and the kind of side roads regular fans expect. Some of those detours are far from the creature-feature center. Still, they help define the show’s personality. From The Shadows works best when a guest’s plainspoken memory meets Shane’s curiosity, leaving the listener with enough detail to picture the scene and enough uncertainty to keep thinking about it afterward.
Made for: For listeners who like paranormal and cryptid stories told through firsthand interviews rather than scripted narration. It especially suits people drawn to rural roads, local landmarks, uncertain witnesses, and creature reports that stay unresolved.
What sets it apart: From The Shadows stands apart by letting witnesses keep their pauses, doubts, tangents, and local details. The show’s texture comes from Shane Grove’s follow-up questions and the ordinary settings where the strange events supposedly happen.
The From The Shadows Podcast is a program where we seriously discuss the supernatural, the paranormal, cryptozoology as well as ufology. Anything that cannot be rationally explained has a platform for discussion here on the From The Shadows Podcast.

A relaxed Ohio cryptid tale told in an easy conversational register.
