Coalville ghostbusters are being invited to the scene of one of the most famous instances of a spirit ever captured on record.

This Saturday (Feb 4), Haunted Heritage Paranormal Events will be staging a Ghost Hunt at the 1620s Manor House in Donington le Heath.

The venue was where an Electronic Voice Vhenomena recording heard somebody say 'Richard' when asked for a name.

But the house is also famous for poltergeist activity and return visits from the site's ancestors along with plenty of witch history

The 1620 Manor house is one of the oldest and, supposedly, most haunted building in Leicestershire.

It has an association with Richard III and the famous Digby Family - of the Gunpowder Plot fame.

Haunted Heritage says this site has both provenance and paranormal activity - and they say that they have caught apparitions on camera, as well as the 'Richard' EVP.

According to SpiceUK, it is believed that Robert De Herle bought the land and had the house built between 1258 & 1295.

For nearly 700 years the house remained a family dwelling.

But, in the early part of the 16th century, the house was modernised and it was around this period it may have been owned by the Digby family, who were caught up in the War of the Roses and the Battle at Bosworth in 1485.

And as history tells us, Sir Everard Digby achieved notoriety as one of the conspirators in the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, as an associate of Guy Fawkes.

There have been many ghost sightings, housemaids and children have been seen flitting about the kitchen and bedrooms by staff and members of the public.

During a previous investigation the appearance of a 17th century tall man wearing a brimmed hat was seen, thought to be the shades of Sir Everard.

Evidence suggests that the bed which resides at the manor house is from the White Board Inn, Leicester.

It is strongly believed that this was the bed that Richard III spent his last night on before making his way to the Battle of Bosworth in 1485.
