This week, Noelle shares a story from 1943, when four young boys entered the woods in a small town near Birmingham, England, and discovered something horrific wedged inside the trunk of a tree. A year later, incriminating graffiti appeared, reading “Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm?”—a haunting question tied to a mystery that remains unsolved to this day.
