Who put Bella in the Wych Elm - The secret of Hayley Wood - Tangled Tuesday

In 1943, deep in Hagley Wood, a group of boys discovered a skull inside the hollow of a wych elm tree — and nothing in the West Midlands has been the same since.

Who was she?

How did she get there?

And why did graffiti across Birmingham start asking the same haunting question: Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?

In this episode, I unravel the wartime secrets, rumours of espionage, witchcraft whispers, and the chaotic police work that turned this into one of Britain’s most unsettling mysteries.
