• The Ghost at the Bar | The Black Swan Inn

  Wednesday, 5 August 2026

  9 minutes

  At 1:30 AM, long after the front doors were locked, a night-shift bartender at The Black Swan Inn heard footsteps behind the bar. What she saw standing in the shadows left her paralyzed with fear—a man with a hollow eye socket pointing an antique pistol directly at her chest. In this episode of York After Dark, we explore the 15th-century timber pub on Peasholme Green, a secret sibling blood pact that defied death, and the chilling legacy of "One-Eyed Jack."

Join us as we uncover the story of Harry Martindale, the eccentric legacy of Frank Green, and the ancient Roman bypass road hidden 15 inches beneath the cellar floor.
