Aaron Blanchard takes you onto the dark soil of Station Road in Episode 16 of York After Dark. Stripping away the quiet, picturesque garden view opposite York Railway Station, Aaron uncovers the horrific true story of the 1832 cholera plague pit. Discover how nearly two hundred citizens were buried in a frenzy of blind panic, leading to terrifying cases of premature live burial, and why late night commuters, hotel staff, and passersby still report seeing sunken, blue faced figures on the lawn and hearing disembodied knocking coming from beneath the earth.
