The Ghost at the Bar | The Black Swan Inn
York After Dark
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."
