Hear some of the strange true stories, including the legend of King Tut’s curse, the serial killer who cast a hex on the courtroom that convicted him and the curse of an ancient warlord that some people think may have killed millions of people.

In 1943, a group of teenage boys in England’s Hagley Woods discovered a woman’s skeleton inside the trunk of a gnarled old wych elm. Was it a bizarre occult murder? Or was it another type of evil entirely? Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm remains one of the most enduring unsolved murders in British history.
