Ada Goodrich Freer (born 15 May 1857 in Uppingham, Rutland, England, died in New York, 24 February 1931), was a medium, clairvoyant, psychical researcher and author.

[4] In 1893 he founded a spiritualist quarterly, called Borderland, in which he gave full play to his interest in psychical research.

Freer was involved in the investigation of Ballechin House by the Society for Psychical Research, her report being published jointly by herself and the Marquess of Bute.

[1][2] Her work was strongly criticised by J. Callendar Ross in The Times in 1897, and led to a controversy over the bona fides of the investigators.

[10] Trevor Hamilton dismisses this and suggests that Freer was simply using her acquaintance with Myers to gain status in the psychical research movement.

[13] Freer initially lived with the Moore family at Holy Trinity Vicarage, Paddington,[13] and later shared a house with Constance in Bushey Heath.

[3] In December 1901 Freer went to Jerusalem, where in 1905 she married Dr Hans Henry Spoer, an American scholar of ancient languages: he believed her to be some 17 years younger than her true age.

She returned to Britain from 1909 to 1911 while her husband was training for ordination at Lichfield Theological College and they then moved to Cairo.
