Sylvia Browne?

Okay, I watch the Montel Show quite frequently, and Sylvia Browne always seems to come on every Wednesday spewing more garbage. Seriously, does she have any psychic abilities whatsoever? Personally, I doubt it, but I've seen a scarce few episodes where she actually seems to know what she's talking about. Though, most of the time everything that comes out of her mouth sounds like pure bs. What do you guys think about her?

Also, she's made quite a few predictions, only a few of which I can remember off the top of my head. What do you think of them?
>The world will end in 85 years.
>There will be a huge drug bust this year involving both US coasts.

Lisetn why come these people never predict the lottery thats what i want to no. Why do these people never predict where osama bin laden is?

sylvia browne is a money hungry arrogant biotch who is more concerned with the upkeep of her nails then she is for the victims of the families she "cold reads". Check out her predictions, she is about 20% accurate.. that is borderline guessing at best. And i love her celebrity predictions, she probably has some inside rep at US weekly telling her who may possibly break up this year. Funny how Anna Nicole Smith was left out on this years list!

Well, what about her famous mistake on Montel about the coal miners! Remember, I think she said they were all dead, and then a short time later the news came on and said there was a survivor. Still on the show, she tried to say that she knew that, or something along those lines. I will try to find the story and provide the link. Either way, she was wrong on national tv.

lol. Awesome, I knew she was just full of Sh*t. Have you ever watched the show when she was on? I like the ones where a person asks if any of their family members are around and she starts naming names they have never heard of. That's priceless.

She told some lady that her husband drowned when he was infact a firefighter who lost his life on 9/11. Then she tries to cover herself by saying, they must have drowned him with all the water they were shooting to put the fire out. Oh how i hate her so very much!

She was also wrong about Shawn Hornbeck, a teenager who was kidnapped. Sylvia Browne claimed that he was dead, but a month later he turned up very much alive. The pissed off parents went back on NBC and grilled her for being a fraud. Ahhh..... priceless.

Whoops, actually Shawn Hornbeck's parents went on CNN to grill Sylvia.

Sylvia Browne is a lying sack of excrement. She preys on grieving families and charges them $500 an hour for FAKE psychic sessions that either give them false hope or blatant lies.
Sylvia Browne Criticism

We've had a bunch of threads here on Sylvia Browne. The result is always the same ... she's a fake. Facts come out about how she screws up .. like saying Bill Bradley would be president in 2000 .. the coal miners were all alive .... etc etc.

Sorry, I didn't do a search on this, I just posted it.

Anyway, yeah... she's basically full of b/s, but its still intertaining to watch her contridict herself on the Montel show. I wonder where she comes up with some of her nonsense though? Like about the 7 lphylums of creatures above and below our existance (probably from the bible) or whatever it is she has to say in her books (haven't read any, & not planning on it). I wonder how much of it she steals from random fiction novels and the bible.

And you know, people will still line up to drop cash on her. There's an interesting lesson to be learned there. A good number of people believe what they want to, and damn the evidence.

A person can make a pretty good living by feeding people what they want to hear. At least, Sylvia's a fairly benign individual that's pretty transparent. Now let's review the participants in the Democratic presidential debates...

Sylvia Browne is a disgrace really, feeding on the emotional insecurities of innocent people who often place their faith in her 'powers'.
