When they asked if anyone was there and called for spirits to &quot;come forward&quot;, a man's voice replied, &quot;Richard&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>The group used a 'ghost box' &ndash; a modified radio they claim allows spirits to speak through white noise &ndash; to record their findings.<\/p>\n<p>Medium Gill Hibbert, 56, said: &quot;We are being careful about saying it's Richard III because we can't prove it.
