I believe in all mystical creatures, just because some can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist, and I have seen fairies.
If there's any mythical creature I would believe in, it would be the Loch Ness Monster. It could still be portrayed as a mystery, and not necessarily just myth.
Ghosts and aliens I definitely believe in. I don't necessarily believe in all the other stuff, but I believe there are many undiscovered and unknown creatures.
Most definitely dragons, phoenix and unicorns, mermaids,fairies and elves....however, I don't necessarily believe they exist in the same dimension or frequency as we are...
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.
