Eveleen married the writer Frederick William Henry Myers (1843-1901) in 1880. Her husband was a classical scholar, poet and school inspector. He had become disillusioned by traditional Christian religious beliefs. He dabeled in spiritualism and helped found the Society for Psychical Research (1882) that attempted to investigated paranormal phenomena with scientific methods. He travelled widely within the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States. The results of research were reviewed in Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death, published after his death. The Myers moved to Leckhampton House, Cambridge which had been designed especially for them by the noted architect William C. Marshall. The house today is part of Corpus Christi College.
