17. Body inside a tree

Four curious lads were roaming in woods in Hagley Wood, England in April 1943. They were probably looking for an adventure and they got a scarring one. The four boys found a woman’s skeletal remains inside a wych-elm tree’s trunk. The skeleton was missing a hand. One of the boys told his father and the father alerted the police. To their shock, they found the body just as the boy told.

The hand was found nearby, giving rise to superstitions such as black magic. The woman was thought to be in her mid-30s. Forget about solving the murder and bringing her killers to justice, the police don’t even know the identity of the woman – to this day.
