PARANORMAL is a kind of "explanation" for some phenomena our present day Science can't explain YET. -----especially if it has a "superstition" or folk explanation attached to it. No bearing on the reality of the actual phenomena, but the superstitious explanation is what is bogus.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
