Gervase of Tilbury. He believed that two remarkable events had occurred within his lifetime which proved that ‘the sea is higher than the land’, indeed that it is ‘above our habitation… either in or on the air’ (a medieval theory based on the reference in Genesis 1 to ‘waters above the firmament’). The first took place outside a Gloucestershire church one foggy Sunday, when people coming out of Mass saw an anchor caught on a tombstone, with its rope stretching up into the sky; a sailor came swarming down it and tried to free the anchor, but seemed to choke in human air and soon died as if by drowning.
The church kept the anchor for all to see. The second event concerned a merchant sailing from Bristol to Ireland who accidentally dropped his knife into the sea; it fell straight through the skylight of his own house, back in Bristol, landing on the table in front of his wife.

I was there for both incidents. We joined hands and preyed. Isn’t it amazing, the profound knowledge we garner from the KJV.
He! It was with this particular missive that the good Bishop of Usher in Ireland, calculated the actual biblical age of the earth to be somewhere around 6.700 + years. Interestingly enough, modern mathematicians have reviewed his mathematics used to arrive at this amazing bit of distortion.It seems that it twern’t his math what was so far off, it was his information source.
Modern man has week in and week out, been resoundingly embarrassing himself by relying on that particular missive, to be factual. We recently had a Repugnant politicians, one who obviously is not familiar with that obscure document, the US Constitution, announce that without doubt, thew KJV is the inerrant word a god and is not only that…it is without flaw! It would have been really funny if it had not been so pathetically, frighteningly scary.
I forget the yahoo’s name but he will be gone soon, apparently, normal Americans are beginning to…vote. Sources: Redneck Fill-os-e-fher, read some, been some places .

3 (c.1150-c.1220) Born at Tilbury in Essex, he was a lawyer and cleric who lived most of his life abroad in the service of various rulers and prelates, notably the Emperor Otto IV, for whom he wrote, probably about 1211, a compendium of history, geography, and natural history which he called Otia Imperialia (‘Imperial Relaxations’). One section is devoted to ‘The Marvels of Each Province’ of England, ‘marvels’ (mirabilia) being defined as natural phenomena that cannot be explained, as opposed to miracles due to God's intervention. They include items which would now be classed as legend or superstition.
Gervase is thus an important source for medieval English folklore. He gives a Gloucestershire variant of the tale of the stolen fairy goblet (cf. Willy Howe); he describes little working goblins in patched clothes, who are generally helpful but also lead travellers astray—clearly akin to Puck and pixies; he tells of a swineherd who entered the Peak cavern and reached a pleasant Otherworld where harvesting was in progress, though in the human world it was winter.
He has heard of Arthur's Knights as a ghostly Wild Hunt, and of a demonic hound with fiery jaws appearing during a thunderstorm in a forest near Penrith.

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.
