The Red Treehouse is dedicated to my Dad. I love you, Pop.

Join me in The Red Treehouse as we explore the strange and scary mystery of Bella and the Wych Elm.

In April 1943, in an expansive wooded area, Hagley Woods, in the Worcestershire countryside, four teenage boys made a gruesome discovery in a Wych elm while poaching.

Unbeknownst to them, their discovery would lead to an enduring mystery, that today—over 80 years later—remains unsolved.

What did they discover in the ancient wych elm of Hagley Wood?

Join me in The Red Treehouse to find out!
