Terrifying & True | Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm? Hagley Wood’s Unidentified Woman

Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? In 1943, boys exploring Hagley Wood found a woman’s remains inside a hollow tree. Terrifying & True follows the investigation, the graffiti that gave the unidentified victim a name and the theories that grew around the discovery. Wartime espionage and witchcraft enter the story as speculation, while the physical evidence offers a more limited account of what happened. This British true-crime mystery asks how an unknown woman became a local legend without her identity being established. Who was she before the question on the wall? We're telling that story tonight.
