Anna Eva Fay

Anna Eva Fay (March 31, 1851 - May 20, 1927) was an American psychical demonstrator and Spiritualist medium, active as a performer for over fifty years, beginning in the 1870s and continuing into the 1920s.

Fay began her touring career working as an assistant and later partner to H. Melville Fay, her first husband, and quickly became the feature act in the Fay-Braddon Combination, playing up her endorsement from William Crookes. From the late 1880s onward, Fay had become the sole headliner, an indefatigable performer who seemed to continuously be on tour until her retirement in the 1920s.
