The Story of How An Army of Angels Helped Turn the Tide of a World War I Battle | Angels of Mons

But like when reading about this, I was like, did Tolkien use any part of the stories here?

to inspire what happened in Lord of the Rings.

And I don't think I actually Googled that.

So Christian, if you don't mind taking a dive into that to see if there's anything that comes up, we can resurface that as the time comes.

But yeah, the Angels of Mons, a very interesting topic because we know everything about it.

On a rare occasion, we'll talk about a solved mystery, and I think that's kind of what's happening here, but very much like some of the paranormal episodes we've had before, some of the folklore episodes, some of those kind of interesting gray area episodes,

We thought that this was some sort of like, maybe it was aliens, maybe it was ghosts, maybe it was something, divine intervention.

But we know actually a lot more about

But despite that, despite what we do factually know, we get to watch this thing take on a life of its own.

The Story of How An Army of Angels Helped Turn the Tide of a World War I Battle | Angels of Mons

And I think for that reason, it's even more interesting than what we first started out to explore.

So it is a wild time.

This is a very interesting case to be sure.

The Story of How An Army of Angels Helped Turn the Tide of a World War I Battle | Angels of Mons

It's in the midst of World War I. The British Expeditionary Force makes their debut, essentially, against the German Empire, which we'll talk about their army sizes, but they were vastly outnumbered.

It was tremendous.
