But you knew that, right? Sylvia Brown claims to be a psychic, but she is actually a horrifyingly evil person. Think I’m exaggerating?
You’ve heard about the Shawn Hornbeck, the boy who had been kidnapped and then found recently? On the Montel Williams show a few years back, the parents of the boy asked Sylvia Brown about their son. She said the boy was dead, described the kidnapper, and where the boy could be found.
Bzzt. Her claims were all wrong. Worse: she wanted to charge them $700 for a followup 20 minute phone conversation with them.
Evil.
Coming to the rescue are Robert Lancaster and James Randi… and Anderson Cooper. For once, the mainstream media doesn’t kiss the backsides of psychics, and instead hands it to them. Robert and Randi were on Anderson’s show the other day, and were pretty clear about Sylvia.
See for yourself:
Robert runs the Stop Sylvia Brown website, based on his successful Stop Kaz site.
He’s collected a vast amount of info about this disgusting, vile woman. And of course Randi has as well.
I have to add that Robert was at TAM 5 the other day — last year, he gave an excellent presentation about stopping "psychics". See what you miss when you don’t attend? And I also have to note that in the absence of critical thinking, noisome parasites like Brown thrive. If people actually thought about things, vultures like Brown would find themselves out of a job. The world would be a far, far better place.
Update: Skeptico has more on this, as well as Hey Norton! and Skepchicks.
January 22nd, 2007 at 2:57 pm
Having a clip shown of the parents, who have just found their son after 4 years, being told by Sylvia that their missing son was dead and where they should look for the body was the skeptic counter-punch one dreams of.
The only thing missing was an interview with Montel Williams about his part in using the tragedy of these parents and the false beliefs in psychics to sell a show.
January 22nd, 2007 at 2:57 pm
Booyah! The Southerners REPRESENTIN! Only 8% of surveyed had called a psychic!
Better BS meters in the south maybe?
January 22nd, 2007 at 2:58 pm
It’s incredibly aggravating how Montel Williams, who seems like a pretty smart and morally-sound guy, continues to give Brown air time. I certainly hope that this is a end for the woman’s career. But knowing her dedicated fans and apologist supporters in the media, I’m not going to hold my breath.
January 22nd, 2007 at 3:10 pm
Isn’t it Sylvia Browne with an “e” at the end?
January 22nd, 2007 at 3:24 pm
Gerrsun: actually my intuition would be for competition in the BS market rather than a smaller market. Various forms of BS discount others. In particular, conservative-to-fundamentalist Christianity is dead-set against psychics and divination. I don’t have figures at hand, but it seems plausible to me that if you add up the people who take the Bible literally and use that as their basis for disbelieving psychic’s claims, you might just even those numbers out.
January 22nd, 2007 at 3:41 pm
Props to Andersen Cooper for having Randi on his show.
Boo to Larry King for repeatedly interviewing psychics and other charlatans in order to boost his ratings.
And boo to CNN for hiring Glen Beck and Nancy Grace.
January 22nd, 2007 at 3:49 pm
That’s the most respectible segment I’ve seen from CNN in some time.
And, I’m sorry, but “only God’s right 100% of the time”!?! That as a comeback for “mistakenly” telling people, with confidence, that their loved one is alive/dead and having the opposite be true, on more than one occasion? The fact that plenty of people accept that statement as an excuse for why she was wrong, and continue to believe that she’s actually “psychic,” is just embarassing…
January 22nd, 2007 at 4:03 pm
That’s my story and Im stickin to it!
Damn Yankee…
January 22nd, 2007 at 6:03 pm
Freakin’ Hilarious when I saw the title. I recieve a whole bunch of spam from that vile witch and I’m not happy about it. I’m not happy about her scheming either. Seriously, $700 for a little phone call? Who in there right mind would agree to that? That’s freaky.
I’m a Conservative, so just watching Anderson Cooper made me go “ARGH!” but I liked the Sylvia Bashing, I really hate people like her. Since I’m conservative I have to point out something wrong with him. He’s not good at talking, seriously, at 5 minuets he called Sylvia a HE. Sorry…
January 22nd, 2007 at 6:50 pm
Go Randi and BA.
This is so sad. “Vulture” does not describe her. Vultures follow nature, she follows no natural, moral, ethical or humane path.
January 22nd, 2007 at 6:52 pm
Depressed,
Let’s be fair — it’s a pretty easy mistake to make
January 22nd, 2007 at 7:28 pm
I can’t help but wonder how much longer the media will pander to these charlatans. Clearly there’s motivation to milk whatever they feel benefits their ratings, but have they no concept of the harm they do by validating ridiculous paranormal chicanery?
January 22nd, 2007 at 7:41 pm
“”Booyah! The Southerners REPRESENTIN! Only 8% of surveyed had called a psychic!

January 23rd, 2007 at 12:11 am
Of course the media “have … no concept of the harm they do” - Like any modern corporate entity, any one media outlet cares exclusively about the money they can make, and seldom, if ever, are they held accountable.
It may be an exaggeration to say that the Yellow Press of the late 19th century started a war just to sell papers, but it’s not entirely untrue either.

Someone should put her in jail for Fraud, what a horrible woman. I will admit that in addition to being a science geek and astronomy buff I’m also an Orthodox Jew, and I take the prohibition on putting a stumbling block in front of the blind pretty strongly. People like this really piss me off.
I mean if she actually is a psychic I would think she could find some way to make a living better than bilking desperate people out of their money. Come on, if you can see the future tell me something useful, like say this week’s lotto numbers

I thought I was pyschic once because I predicted the soup of the day three days in a row (or was it two), but the rules of probability allowed me to be right by chance alone so I was not psychic after all, much to my relief.

What’s funny is that at the top of this blog there’s an advertisement for guess who, Sylvia Browne… go figure!
January 23rd, 2007 at 8:43 am
What’s sad is that she’s still going to be Montel Williams on Wednesday,
http://www.montelshow.com/show/?showID=5065
January 23rd, 2007 at 8:49 am
I wonder how quickly she’ll just gloss over her mistake and try to move on to a demonstration to prove her “ability,” since actions speak louder than words and she’ll show everyone, so there! (Or something along those lines.)
Maybe we’ll all get really lucky, and this will mark the beginning of the end for her. (Hey, I can dream, can’t I?)
Of course, like the mythical Hydra, for every head cut off, more grow back.
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:00 am
It’s worth noting that Sylvia Browne’s initials, when reversed, are a good indication of where she’s pulling her insights from.
The stopsylviabrowne.com website got a mention on Dr. Edell’s national radio program last week.
January 23rd, 2007 at 10:36 am
Bummer that the clip stopped short just before Randi was going into a description of “cold reading”. I’ve always wondered how they(magicians) do that. The methods for extracting info from a gullible mark are excellant case studies of just how easy it is for us to fool ourselves.
Well, we’ve found one good thing about conservative Christianity. They are adamantly against psychics. I don’t think we should be burning witchs, etc, but in S. Brownes case,,,,,,???

If you guys want to be more depressed check out the comments on anderson’s 360 blog. There are way too many people defending psychics and making excuses. Even given this high profile story with clear evidence that Sylvia Browne was wrong on every aspect of her reading, people still want to believe.

January 23rd, 2007 at 12:32 pm
My dark depression over this is only out-weighed by exhilarating schadenfreude.
January 23rd, 2007 at 12:47 pm
Keep in mind that people like Sylvia Browne wouldn’t be able to get the publicity they do if it wasn’t for shows like “Montel”. Williams is an obviously intelligent person and I strongly suspect that he has never believed for one minute that Browne is genuine.
He knows she is a fraud and continues to promote belief in her by not only placing her on TV, but by actively supporting her during his shows. Previous TV clips show how he bails her out when she gets in a tight spot with the audience.
Williams is as much as fault as Browne and should be held to task for it.
Amazingly, Sylvia Browne is on the schedule for Montel this Wednesday http://www.montelshow.com/ . It’s not a show I watch, but I will have to check into it tomorrow to see what they do in light of the recent press.

“I certainly hope that this is a end for the woman’s career. But knowing her dedicated fans and apologist supporters in the media, I’m not going to hold my breath.”
One thing these charlatans have taught us is that, for those who want to believe, there isn’t much that will change their mind. Much like the Geller fans who constantly say that getting caught cheating once (or a thousand times) doesn’t mean he’s not really psychic, the Browne apologists are already using the “nobody can be right all the time” excuse to defend Sylvia.
January 23rd, 2007 at 1:51 pm
“Much like the Geller fans who constantly say that getting caught cheating once (or a thousand times) doesn’t mean he’s not really psychic, the Browne apologists are already using the “nobody can be right all the time†excuse to defend Sylvia.”
My girlfriend is one of them, unfortunately. She’s smart as a tack and has a better job than I do, but still she’s like, “a small percentage of them have to be real”.
[insert long, low groan here]
January 23rd, 2007 at 4:14 pm
Even if she claims to not be right all the time, I don’t think ANYONE is disbelieving the parents of Shawn Hornbeck. Just the fact that she wanted to use their appearance on the Montel show to make at least an extra $700 or more is disgusting. Absolute filth, if you ask me. And so, ethical truth has highlighted the importance of critical analysis in our daily lives.
Thanks for pointing this video out to us, Phil. I just showed it to a family member at home and am e-mailing it to several friends and family.
January 23rd, 2007 at 5:02 pm
I have to admit I LOVE to hate her. I don’t mind her being on Larry King as long as there is a skeptic given equal time. James Randi does a great job. What’s funny is that I’m sure there was a reward for the kid and so instead of asking for $700 all she had to do is tell them where he was and she’d get a lot more than that. By asking for a $700 phone consultation it seems obvious she knows she is a fraud. Another point: The best guess is that a missing child is probably dead, it would be the more daring psychic prediction to predict he was alive. This also shows she tends to play the odds.
January 23rd, 2007 at 6:06 pm
Regarding the U-tube showing Uri Gellar cheating and using trickery. It says it was removed because the copyright holder wished it removed. Actually, criticism is actually a fair use of a copyright, so it was inapropriate that it was removed.
January 23rd, 2007 at 9:16 pm
Gary Ansorge Says: “Bummer that the clip stopped short just before Randi was going into a description of “cold readingâ€. I’ve always wondered how they(magicians) do that.”
Check out the 1947 film “Nightmare Alley” with Tyrone Power. He plays a carnival sideshow performer who has a natural talent for cold reading. He goes on to be the top “mentalist” on the nightclub circuit but gets greedy along the way.
They explain cold reading by showing you how it’s done. The film also shows the origin of the word “geek”, and I think you guys (and gals) will be a little more reserved in using it after you find out what it means!

January 23rd, 2007 at 10:11 pm
I was foolish enough to pay her for a consulation after searching for my missing dog with no luck. Get this, you can only have one consultation with her per lifetime. Wonder why that is? Because she won’t be able to remember what she told you before? Yes, I was stupid enough to pay her $700. She told me was once an Indian and a Gypsy. Those are the last types of people I would have thought I would have been. More like princess or something..but I digress.
January 24th, 2007 at 8:53 am
I’m sure Montel is bright. I don’t know if he believes or not. But bright people can be deceived. Just because you see through something doesn’t mean they do. I know an aerospace engineer who works on rockets who thinks he’s psychic. He doesn’t do “talking with the dead”, but does do readings on people. It’s not traditional cold reading, but relies heavily on the subject providing the context and specific meaning to the general impressions and feelings provided. He is sincere.
I think it possible that Montel has her on so often because he believes she does good for the audience. Yes, he helps bail her out - it’s his job as host to make his guests look good. But also, I think he could desire to help find the “right” interpretations out of a sincere belief that Sylvia gets some accurate feelings or sensations but sometimes can’t accurately express or interpret them.
I don’t know if he’s sincere or if he just cares about ratings, but I prefer to be charitable when I don’t know.
Gary Ansorge, to learn more about cold reading, here are a couple of links:
Skeptic’s Dictionary description, links at bottom:
http://skepdic.com/coldread.html
Straight Dope column with description of cold reading technique:
http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mcoldreading.html
The Full Facts of Cold Reading, by Ian Rowland, available here:
http://www.ianrowland.com/
I once tried to demonstrate cold reading to a group of about 20 people. I made a fishing statement to a woman, “I’m sensing a J, someone close to you.” I suggested a couple names, nothing connected. I was about to give up because I’m not practiced at it, when the guy sitting next to her raised his hand and said his name was John. A Hit!
January 24th, 2007 at 10:36 pm
THIS DEVIL SHOULD NOT EARN A SINGLE PENNY GOING FORWARD. (Rather, she should refund all her victims all the money she conned!!!!) All who stand by her side, should know they are condoning her actions. You are letting her continuously hurt/deceive people and you are just at fault! HOW DARE SHE USES GOD’S NAME AND SAYS SHE IS GOD’S INSTRUMENT! CAN GOD BE THIS WRONG???????? Everyone who says you still love her are playing a role in an evil deed because you are the ones who let her continuously deceive people. SHE USES GOD FOR HER MONEY MAKING BUSINESS OVER THE EXPENSE OF GRIEVING SOULS. SHE SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS SO THAT SHE WON’T HURT ANYONE ANYMORE. IMAGINE IF ANYONE (NAIVE AND STUPID) SHOULD TAKE ACTIONS BASED ON HER FALSE PREDICTIONS AND ADVICES. She is a dangerous person. Montel William is not even a human being if he continues to support her just for his ratings. WE SHOULD RUN A CHAMPAGNES TO SHUT HIS SHOW DOWN IF HE CONTINUES TO SUPPORT HER. THAT IS NO DIFFERENT FROM WHAT SHE HERSELF IS DOING WHICH IS SCAMMING PEOPLE OF THEIR HONEST MONEY.

What sort of action can be taken in order to stop her, though? I admit, I haven’t investigated the given website, so that might have some related information on it.
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help but notice this:
Depressed Says: “[In reference to Anderson Cooper] Since I’m conservative I have to point out something wrong with him. He’s not good at talking, seriously, at 5 minuets he called Sylvia a HE. Sorry…”
Wouldn’t he have been more winded after having danced, or played, five minuets? Or were you having difficulties typing? Sorry…
I’m not really a fan of Anderson Cooper, as I rarely watch television, but I felt the need to point out that little bit of irony.
January 25th, 2007 at 9:40 am
We should send letters to all of Montel William show’s sponsors and make them force Montel William to drop Silvia Browne or say they will not support him anymore. If people refuse to see the pure evil that she is, splash some water on their faces. There is no black and white. SHE DECEIVED US ALL. It was okay that we were fools when we didn’t know better. BUT it has been proven that she makes up these BS. IF her psychic powers were weak and she couldn’t see anything as some argues, SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID ANYTHING, BUT SHE WAS SO CONVINCING IN TELLING A LIE TO THESE FOLKS THEIR SON WAS BURIED SOMEWHERE!!!!!!!!! SHE DIDN”T EVEN HESITATE. If she was telling the truth about her abilities, then the fact has been proven, finally, THAT SHE IS REALLY BAD AT THAT TOO!!! She should not be giving predictions to people!!! All religion lets us believe in life after death. We don’t need her. SHE HAS NO CAUSES BUT EVILNESS!!!! She is in it to make MONEY! My jaws dropped thinking of the possibility that she has been making up all these things all these years!!!!! MY GOD! WE HAVE TO STOP HER!
1. Letter sending champaigne - Send letters to all the commercial sponsors of Montel Williams Show and request that they force Montel to withdraw Sylvia or they will drop the sponsorship.
2 Keep writing Montel William producers, that this is plainly IMMORAL to continue this. And stop watching his show if they keep on bringing her on.
3. Join together, support stopsilviabrowne.com and James Randi to be a bigger voice. WE HAVE TO TAKE ACTIONS. Letting things be is not right.
January 27th, 2007 at 12:33 am
[…] James Randi is supposed to make another appearance on Anderson Cooper 360. It was originally scheduled for last night (Jan. 24), but got delayed. I’m not sure when. He was last on that program just last Friday, where he thoroughly trounced alleged-psychic Sylvia Browne. Phil Plait has the video of that appearance. […]
January 27th, 2007 at 3:18 pm
Sylvia Browne IS right so incredibly more times than she is wrong.
I’ve been tracking Sylvia’s predictions and hearing her answer people’s questions (many are startled at what she knows).
I think if you want a true analysis, one should start a blog for people that have had questions answered by Sylvia to see how many times Sylvia was accurate or not!
You quickly say she’s a vile evil women??
Well let’s see, if Sylvia does have a gift she uses out of love for people, but it’s not always 100% accurate (as Sylvia has repeatedly stated she’s about 85-90% accurate), I don’t see anything evil about that, do you!?
Of course I didn’t think Jesus was evil either, but you wanted to kill him too..!
January 27th, 2007 at 5:24 pm
james, what exactly do you mean by that last line?
January 28th, 2007 at 12:08 pm
A friend of my step-daughters parents went on her show about their Daughter Michelle O’Keefe & she gave them bad advice & brushed them off. She took them that the murder weapon was in something green that goes up & down & hasn’t been emptied for a long time. Needless to say many police hours & family hours were spent looking for something green. Wow amazes me how she leads families on………………………………. I think this hurts more than it help.
January 29th, 2007 at 11:50 am
james mcdaniels, if Sylvia is wrong and admits to being wrong, with only an 85 to 90% accuracy, why does she make declarations without any hint that her conclusions are sketchy, or need better interpretation? She states that the daughter was shot. Not that she felt an impact to the chest, not that she felt the heart was involved, but flat out “she was shot”. When the parents are flabbergasted and explain that couldn’t be the case, only then does Sylvia rewrite her statement to allow other leeway. If it was that murky, she shouldn’t have pronounced so declaratively.
There’s nothing that separates Sylvia’s act from a guessing game.
> I’ve been tracking Sylvia’s predictions and hearing her answer people’s questions (many are startled at what she knows).
Good cold readers can be startling. Also, people are primed to believe, and interpret whatever is said to fit what they know.
> I think if you want a true analysis, one should start a blog for people that have had questions answered by Sylvia to see how many times Sylvia was accurate or not!
Sorry, that won’t give accurate results. The nature of the process is to get the victims - I mean clients - to provide their own validation. So taking a list of anecdotes after the fact is not scientific.
> Well let’s see, if Sylvia does have a gift she uses out of love for people, …
And don’t forget the $750 a phone call for 20 minutes. But yeah, if she really has a gift, then it’s not evil to try to use it to help families. But that’s the point. There’s no evidence she does have a gift, and a lot of evidence she’s making things up. And that is evil, because she takes money and crushes hopes with wild, unsubstantiated guesses, sending police on wild goose chases wasting resources, and instead of helping grieving families find closure, she fosters their psychological dependence upon hanging on to the past. That, and Randi has transcripts of her doling out medical advice.
And I don’t know what you mean by your last sentence, either.
January 29th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
Folks we need to stop Sylvia and have her out of the Montel Show for good. And for shame Montel for allowing this phoney on your shows…I know you have personal interest in this since Sylvia is providing some of her proceeds for her books to his MS foundation. I know that Montel knows Sylvia is a phoney its all for the ratings. I’m ashamed that he allows this to happen. Deceiving people and not being honest and truthful to her clients is not good at all! Please support stopsylviabrowne.com and write to Montel and say that he should not continue to perprertate a phoney psychic. I will no longer watch her on his show… She’s a con arist.
January 30th, 2007 at 6:36 pm
even if she isn’t psychic (who knows) her books offer beautiful prayers and meditations. I found alot of comfort in her message.
January 30th, 2007 at 7:56 pm
Right on little miss sunshine. I am going to write to Montel Williams show and say exactly that. Sylvia Brown makes me want to scream wake up fools , she is no different than a phoney palm reader.
January 31st, 2007 at 10:09 am
IF MONTEL WANTS HER ON HIS SHOW THATS HIS BUSINESS…JUST TAKE IT FROM WHERE IT COMES FROM HE IS NO BETTER THAN SHE IS..
I BELIEVE THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE GIVEN A GIFT FROM GOD AND MAY HAVE SOME PSYCHIC ABLITIES ….THESE PEOPLE WOULDNT MAKE A LIVING OUT OF THIS… THEY WOULD DO GODS WORK WITHOUT EVEN THINKING ABOUT TAKING A DIME FROM PEOPLE ..NOR WOULD THEY BROADCAST IT…..THESE ARE THE TRUE BLUES..SYLIVA AND HER 700.00 FOR TWENTY MIN PHONE CALLS WELL IF THAT DONT SOUND OFF WARINING SIGNS ALL OVER THE PLACE THEN NOTHING NEVER WILL…
I REALLY BELIEVE THAT SYLIVA SHOULD PAY FOR WHAT SHE PUT THAT POOR FAMILY THREW…WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?? I WOULD DEMAND ANSWERS FROM HER… BOTTOM LINE GLAD SHE WAS WRONG…..
February 1st, 2007 at 12:58 am
hi my name is chelsey and i think that sylvia brown is a wonderful lady you guys can all say what you want but she helps people in a way that they can cummincate with there loves ones. i watch her show and she is wonderful i wish i could get my mom on her show, my granny has been deid for 7 years now and my mom lost her bestfriend her mom. if sylvia could just tell my mom what she knew that would be wonderful! and the people will know the truth sylvia is just somone in the world trying to do good for people and this world is out of line if you wanan call it! i guess people cant even do good in this world with out somone having to say something bad. lets not hate people for doing good, forgive people for doingh bad and congradulate for doing good … its like pay it forward everyone will end up happy

Psychic abilities are possible.
I saw some things as a kid which came true in the future, in minute detail.
I couldn’t control it, it would just happen. I have no idea what caused it, all I know is what I experienced, which in my mind gives me an edge up on everyone who “knows it aint real”..
What I experienced is a personal thing between me and myself and that’s all anyone needs to know.
Anyone who would attempt to capitalize on peoples emotions, through lies in an attempt to glorify themselves, are only fooling themselves.
The woman should do ten years in state prison for all the dashed hope and severe pain she’s caused.
She’s an irresponsible hack.
February 4th, 2007 at 2:40 pm
What’s even more bizzare to me is that it took this exposure for just only a handful of her faithful followers to pause and think. We already have enough organized religion and there’s already plenty of organized crime and Sylvia found her nitch in these demographics and preyed on those who need blind faith and need to believe beyond any reality that punches them square in the face. SHE’S A CRIMINAL. She has taken advantage of people who have suffered and at their most vulnerable time, she sells them a bill of goods knowing they so desperately need answers and she’s full of those, alright. She never knows the story until it’s told to her and from there, she embellishes. She’s not a psychic….she’s a psycho!!! She’s a fraud, she’s a vulcher who preys on people’s vulnerabilities and she should be imprisoned for extortion.
February 4th, 2007 at 2:51 pm
Yeah yeah yeah. She makes ONE mistake and thats ALL anyone cares about. Sure let’s not compare all the people she HAS helped, with this one incident. Anything out of the ordinary and we all point our fingers saying how ridiculous and fake it is. Let’s face it, none of us KNOW she’s a fake or otherwise, so stop posting stupid crap about how big of a fraud she is. YOU DON’T KNOW.
February 4th, 2007 at 7:08 pm
The fingers were being pointed way before this. She sits on her fat ass on Monteil, and picks her teeth with her fingers and everything out of her mouth is, “you know what I’m saying?”…… and everybody looks up to her like a guru. She’s a nut job but a smart nut job. She capitalized knowing there’s a big audience of easily deceived people. She was just BUSTED for the FRAUD she’s always been. Yea, if I needed to know that my late great, great, great grandfather who I never met loved me and she told me, “yes”, I guess you would consider that she was helping. Help yourself and open your eyes. This woman can’t even see whats under a rock.

PSYCHOKINESIS EXPERIMENTATION: SEARCH PROTOCOL
OBSERVATION AND COMPARISON PSYCHOKINESIS PORTRAITS BETWEEN ACCIDENTALLY PORTRAITS THAT IS FORMED IN THE CLOUDS IN THE VARNISH ON CLOTH OR CARDBOARD cm. 100 x 70
Our sene of perception strechers to recognize shapes and objects whenever are found to observe something of confused and lacking on sense.
For example: observing clouds with attention, we will see faces ( usual without eyes, pupilla ), shapes of face, without expression, snouts of bears, gees,ecc. We can see examples in the page “Visual Illusion”, the same one happen in the color sprayed on to form them are NATURAL phenomena not PK.
The PSYCHOKINESIS images that come described are EVIDENCE pf the existence of PK. phenomena that the science call PARANORMAL definition coined from Official Science. psychokinesis
These ate the characteristics tha distinguish PSYCHOKINESIS PORTRAIT from ACCIDENTAL PORTRAIT, take place on the clouds on the varnish.
1- I decided BEFORE the TEST where the portrait/s will have to be formed, chooses an area of cloud in open sky or in the flake cloud.
2- The portraits must be formed frontal, the eyes must have the pupille and the face must be expressive ( usually the accidental face are lacking in pupille the expression there isn’t.
3- The REPEATABILITY of the PK. phenomenon.
4- I ESTABLISHED the TOPIC before the TEXT…LEONARD HIS ART’S WORK SELF-PORTRAIT- SKULL -GROTESQUE FACE..MADAM LE BRUN- PARTICULAR DAVID AND GOLIAGH - CARVAGGIO ECC..We can see in these pages.
The portraits are not created from the hand of the man, they are the RESULT of ACTION of a “INTELLIGENT QUID” of human type and disowned physical forces MODEL MATTER CLOUDS - VARNISH.
The ACCIDENTAL portraits do not have all those characteristics listened schematically in the over paragraph.
The DETECTOR of the PSYCHOKINESIS phenomenon is the MATTER ( clouds, varnish ), which is not influenceable as our psyche, It is not need of statistic, all people can observe the phenomenon when happen.
PK. EXPERIMENTATION METHOD
EXAMPLE PK.TESTS WITH THE CLOUDS
FIRST EXAMPLE: the clouds have several shapes and heights from earth, we have 10 main kinds of clouds see in the photo:
ESTABLISHED PK.TOPIC: “The skull” Art’s Work by LEONARD, having in my hand the image to create in the clouds PK. and for comparison, chosen the cloud to shape the image, I started to see to pulse the chosen area in the cloud,It passed from 2 to 6 seconds time in order to take the photo, I succeed to peceive if the face are feminine, male , of children, or more faces, in this case a “Skull”i centered the established TOPIC.
Even if I have not centered the ESTABLISHED PK. TOPIC the RESULT of the PK. TEST is the same POSITIVE.
SECOND EXAMPLE: I choose 4 flakes of clouds, ESTABLISHED that in the FIRST FLAKE CLOUD It would have to be formed the PK. portrait “GIOCONDA” I haven’t centered the PK. established portrait; the result of the PK. TEST is always POSITIVE because the portrait is PK. and It has centered ESTABLISHED cloud, the faceid is feminine expressive, but confronted with the image”GIOCONDA” It doesen’t correspond:
We observe that the ESTABLISHED CLOUD has been modelled PK. while the others 3 are remained UNCHANGED.
EXAMPLES PK. TESTS WITH THE VARNISH PRAYED ON CLOTH OR CARDBOARD cm. 100 x 70
I sprayed the varnished on all the surface of the cardboard using the colors, white, black, brown. These colors that allow a greater visibility than others colors ( although I have experienced with flake clouds all white where the contrst is minimun, with good PK. result “AWAKING”- “LOOK” others PK. portraits we can see in this pages.
Passed approximately 5 minutes before that the color is dried up we watch the cardbord on all 4side if the PK. ESTABLISHED PORTRAIT/S, or others has been formed in that case the PK. TEST is POSITIVE, because the ESTABLISHED PK. TOPIC (self-portrait of LEONARD is visible and correspond of the face of LEONARD isn’t a fotocopy.
In the case that the PK. ESTABLISHED TOPIC isn’t centered comes however taken in consideration to the end of the happen PSYCHOKINESIS phenomenon.
Continuous the experimentation with the same modalitis
MEDIUM RESULT IN THE CLOUDS: 12 - 20 PK. TESTS 1 or 2 images are good visibility- 2 tenuous visibility- half-face or only the eyes…
MEDIUM RESULT WITH THE VARNISH: 10 PK. TESTS - 2 portraits or figures of good visibility- 2 tenuous visibility - 1-2 half-face.
MEDIUM TIME FOR THE PK. EXPERIMENTATION WITH CLOUDS: 20/40 minutes 2 TESTS.
MEDIUM TIME FOR THE PK. EXPERIMENTATION WITH THE VARNISH: 2 hours 10 TESTS.
THREE CATEGORIES OF PSYCHOKINESIS TESTS IN THE CLOUDS OR IN THE VARNISH
1 - ESTABLISHED PK. TOPIC: The PSYCHOKINESIS portraits will have to correspod to the ESTABLISHED image before
the TEST.
2- OUTSIDE TOPIC: Isn’t centre the ESTABLISHED TOPIC BUT THE IMAGES ARE PSYCHOKINESIS.
3- FREE TOPIC: PSYCHOKINESIS PORTRAITS OR FIGURES WE MUST TO SEE AFTER TESTS.
4. REPEATABILITY OF PSYCHOKINESIS CREATIVE EVENT..

Sylvia says that only God is right 100% of the time. Therefore, implying that she is not right 100% of the time. The logical conclusion to the two preceeding facts is that Sylvia does not work with or for God, because God does not make mistakes. She does. She is getting her information from another source: namely, the devil. Sylvia does everything the Bible forbids: Necromancy (spirit contact), divinination, etc. Her own “church” which she personally founded, denies everyone of the essential doctrines of the biblical and historic Christian faith: the deity of Christ, his virgin birth, his death on the cross, and his bodily resurrection from the dead. No, Sylvia is not of God. She is a tool of the devil. She claims to be a Christian, but the facts prove otherwise.
March 13th, 2007 at 6:18 am
i’M VERY UPSET AT THE ABOUT THAT BELEIVER.I WANT TO CRY GUYS. I BELEIVED IN SILVIA BROWN 100%. COULD IT JUST BE THAT SHE IS GETTING OLD? OR SHE READ WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED TO THEM BEFORE. I’M SO CONFUSED… I SERIOUSLY FEEL LIKE I’VE BEEN CHEATED MY WHOLE TEENAGE LIFE.!!!!!!
March 31st, 2007 at 5:57 pm
I used to be a beliver and I have jumped ship. I had her books. I am a believer in paranormal. I believe there are things that can’t be explained by logic. However, seeing Sylvia’s recent mistakes gave me pause to think about my beliefs. I still believe in the paranormal, I just don’t believe in HER. It wasn’t just one mistake, it was several. Shawn Hornback (sp??), another guy in TX who was dead and she led his family to believe he was alive. There was the little girl in TX who she said was sold into “white slavery” in the orient. The little girl was dead. There was the daughter who wanted to know where her mom was. Sylvia told her that mom was in a mental institution in FL. Mom was dead and had been since the day she disappeared. The worst part of that story was that HER MURDERER WAS RIGHT THERE IN THE AUDIENCE!!!! If Sylvia was a real psychic, she would have sensed someone so evil as to kill his wife’s mother and sit there in Sylvia’s audience! Sure, she gets things right. She makes good guesses based on what she has read in the news and what she reads in her clients’ faces. These mistakes aren’t “little mistakes”, these stories were MAJOR mistakes. That’s why so many of her believers, like myself, are jumping ship.
April 4th, 2007 at 10:31 am
My question is if you are given a gift of telling the future why would would charge people allot of money for a gift that was given. People need to think bfore falling for these so called psychics!
April 5th, 2007 at 7:01 am
I can’t stand her. How can people believe her? I guess people just want to believe so bad.
April 7th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
OMG - I have been a devout follower of Sylvia Brown and Montel Williiams beause she is onhis show this is very inlightening and sad
April 11th, 2007 at 12:17 am
So explain to me why giving hope to millions of her fans and up lifting them with something to believe in, something far greater that allows one to follow a path of positiveness rather then negativeness and thus helping the world become a better place is so wrong even if it is all based on a lie. And yeah everyone does have there mess ups hers might be major but seriously who’s aren’t?, but she generates way more good then she could ever possibly generate bad. A fake or not don’t be blind to the many people she has helped compared to the very few she has hurt… God love each and everyone of you seriously THOUGH!
April 11th, 2007 at 10:49 am
There’s a sucker born every minute. I couldn’t care less about the MW show and much less about Sylvia Browne. I paused to watched her on the MW show few minutes here and there as I browsed through the different channels on tv and I think Sylvia Browne is a fake. The clueless expression on her face as she answers the audiences’ question says it all. Her face is saying “just say anything because these morons will believe it.” lol. Sticky her nail and finger in her mouth while answering them is disgusting. There are desperate people who would gladly pay $700 for a twenty min reading on the phone with her and that’s alright. It’s their money. I do hope more news will reveal her scams shut down MW show.
To the person above who wrote about her book on prayers and meditation and gave high marks. Did you ever think that she took those ideas from other sources? There are plenty of books on meditation and prayers.
April 11th, 2007 at 11:20 am
What a bunch of haters! You suck. Martino Martini…is that a REAL name? or a fraud? Sounds like idiotic babble, not just bad English. You know nothing, and yet proclaim to know just enough to make someone look bad. Wow what an accomplishment. You are really stupid people. I just stumbled across this stupid site…and had to laugh. You all suck. Laurel
April 11th, 2007 at 11:26 am
Can anybody that responds to this lunatic sitespaell? You all sound like a bunch of foreigners that just love to practice screwing up the English language. I have met Sylvia, and she would put you all to shame. I’m going back to my life…just had to stop in and tell you morons just what I think of you. You are all a bunch of non-believing skeptics, but you all have time on your hands, and something to say. Incredible. You are morons and I mean every one of you bashers. Turn the channel. You are why the world is in such bad shape. Why don’t you just go about your lives without Sylvia’s help, and leave everyone who doesn’t share your opinion alone? Everyone wants to change other people’s way of thinking, rather than to accept their differences. See? You are the negative force we deal with on a daily basis. Morons. Laurel
April 11th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
Hey Laurel Your mother’s on the phone. She wants to know what time Sylvia’s picking you up.
April 12th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
I used to read astrology charts-worked on hundreds by hand (before computers) and sat with people for a couple of more hours for $20. Thought there was something to it, now not so sure. Problem is, people can and do get hurt. Some Sylvia apologists (they seem to be the ones with the worst spelling [education?] aside from our Italian “friend”) say she is being “positive”. I learned that people hang on every word and I had to be extremely careful about what I said….and these were folks with everyday problems or personality concerns….not someone who has had a child go missing! She is not being a responsible human being — that’s all, and that’s ENOUGH!

OK, Martino, everyone is trying to remain polite, but it has got to the point that someone should speak out. Don’t try to shelter yourself behind your wonderful Italian language/ culture. You are now being a wanker by your obnoxious, persistent, ….well, wankerism. F off or contribute something fresh. Talk about killing ’spirit”, you are a perfect example of manifesting all that you supposedly preach against… And if you don’t grok that… whatever…go away.

People are not perfect and that includes Sylvia Brown, she does her best to be helpful to others. Yes, she deserves to make an income too. She does do a lot of good free things also. Everyone who is eager to bash a great psychic ( because there are a lot of phonies out there) thank heavens never needed to have one. So, believe in what you want , take what you want and leave alone what you don’t. Find a cause that really needs your input..

Someone once said that the easiest thing in the world to be is a “philosopher”. Read up on so-called spiritual philosophy until you can speak the language, practice on hundreds of people and with a bit of talent, you too can write books, give readings and advice, make some money, ego-trip on the adulation, and prey on a substantial following of semi-educated and/or somewhat lost, needy people. How about this as an alternative: never stop studying and learning, read history, the history of philosophy and religion if you must, but don’t stop there. Study science, read about the exciting universe with its many unknowns, but don’t fall into the lazy trap of believing someone who claims that they have The Answer. In fact, question your own conclusions, especially when you believe you are having a profound “eureka moment.” Oh, and you might even learn to spell along the way.
April 18th, 2007 at 2:38 pm
I think that if she was real about all this then why she makin people pay money to talk to her.. Its all bull if you ask me.Its very sick for someone to say that about someones child just for the money.

Anyone can do extensive research and and interpret it as predictions, and this is what Sylvia Brown does. She is not a psychic, she is knowledgeable, which means she is a FRAUD. She takes people’s money(which is heartless) so she can pay her own damn bills. She has to pay a publicist to promote her and her so called image. Publicists charge approximately 200-500 bucks an hr. So in my opinion, Sylvia is heartless and selfish. I could very easily pull a scam like that and so could anyone else for that matter. The difference between Sylvia and myself is I am not willing to sacrifice anyone’s feelngs and emotions just to be on TELEVISION. Her PUBLICIST has alot to do with who she is because he needs money, too. EVERYONE ON TV ARE ACTORS….EVERYONE!! TRUST ME I AM AN ACTRESS………I AM FINDING OUT THAT’S A SCAM IN ITSELF.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:04 am
wow. really this is dumb people. If Sylvia Browne stresses anything, it’s that SHE ISNT 100% RIGHT ALL THE TIME. people go to her knowing this so what is the big surprise here? You featured like 2 instances where she was wrong. Do you even watch her on Montel? EVERY episode SOMEONE comes back saying “wow sylvia you were right about me having that illness, i went to the right doctor and got it treated”. like, damn. come on. you’re ignorant and close minded as hell.
May 1st, 2007 at 12:53 am
Too many psychics read things that are not verifiable… Sylvia is often telling folks “stories” about spirits and ghosts and past lives… all of this is non-verifiable information. Isn’t it interesting that something verifiable (alive or dead?) comes up, and Sylvia is “dead” wrong. SO many things in science are currently “non-verifiable” string theory, heim theory, dark matter… bunches of astro-physicists run around looking for axions by building better containment systems and monitors… but face it, for all the equations and postulations, until it is verifiable phenomena… a scientist is no better at describing the nature of reality than a psychic…HOWEVER, a scientist is much more open to/better at accepting criticism for peers! Nobody has a corner on reality…. bad science gets as many grants, large and small, as a bad psychic gets clients!!
May 2nd, 2007 at 12:52 pm
psyschics are frauds simple and clear, people who believe them are fools and are simple.
May 4th, 2007 at 6:22 pm
If you idiots ever read her books then you would know that she says she is right 90% of the time not 100.She says god! is the only one who is 100% right. So show me proof that she is wrong more than she says.You can’t and frankly if you have not had an individual reading i don’t think you should say she is a fraud
May 4th, 2007 at 6:28 pm
before you pass judgment you should read up and become better informed you people just kill me.I bet you have never even seen her on montel.And some never heard of her until they made a big deal about her being wrong.STUPID STUPID UNINFORMED PEOPLE
May 4th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
hey guys! shame on you guys!!! do you really expect someone to be perfect!!! Sylvia Brown makes one tiny mistake and suddenly the whole united states explodes!!! you guys can say what you want but I believe in psychics and Sylvia Brown just happens to be one of the best!!! I believe we all have psychics powers!!! One reason why I believe her is because in her book PHENOMENON it talks about Astral Catalepsy
its when you suddy awake for no apparent reason then you may feel the following sensations
*paralysis
*shortness of breath,often from some oppressive weight on the chest
*being touched by something or someone lewd or menacing,but invisible
*an overwhelming vibration
and more thats you guys would not know because you don’t have the book
anyway I woke up and could not move for a good ten second and if felt as if a 700 pound man was sitting on my chest
May 6th, 2007 at 8:22 pm
Good for you Wes , Jason, et al. You read a book. Don’t stop now. Open YOUR minds to other possibilities. You WANT to believe and a psychic business like Brown’s preys on your vulnerability. She has had lots of practice. Do more research into the nature of these people. So-called “astral catalepsy” is a recognized dream-like state that is more common than you realize. There is a rational explanation and is not proof of psychic phenomena.

Everyone has some psychic ability, whether they experience deja vu, have intuition ,knowing when those in your life are getting closer to dying etc.Some have it more than others. But I don’t think there is a psychic whose 100% correct. Only God is 100% right.
May 15th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
If you are a believer in the bible and you follow God’s word, then you would not fall into the trap of Sylvia Browne. God warned about looking to the occult for advice. Mediums and spiritists were outlawed because God was not the source of their information. She is either a fake, or she is in contact with evil spirits, which can be very dangerous!! We don’t need to look to the occult for info about the future, God has given us the Bible so that we may obtain all the info we need. Look it up for yourself in Leviticus 20:6, and Deuteronomy 18:10-13
May 15th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
Listen, I have seen this woman in person. I saw the irreperable damage she had done to people. I saw her accuse a woman whose husband had died the WEEK BEFORE of being selfish in her desire to contact him. She knows NOTHING and attempts to use sarcasm and humor to deflect the fact that she is a good for nothing FRAUD. You people talk and talk about her accuracy rating and that she admits she isn’t 100% correct…she isn’t 5% correct idiots! Track her accuracy rating, listen to her ex-husband’s account of her (he’s the one she calls abusive and the deveil but he has been remarried happily for 30 years!) He states that she said “If people believe this crap, they deserve to get screwed.” Go the stopsylviabrowne.com and get an eyeopener. And, yes, I use to be an avid follower and believed in her philosophies…stupid me. God WILL judge her and good luck not being sent to the hell she doesn’t even believe exists.

Let go and let God. I do not have a problem with Sylvia and would hardly call her a vulture. I truly feel she does not set out to use, harm or extort monies from anyone. She offers a service. If you ask for a reading, then that’s what you get. She doesn’t solicit individuals. If you don’t believe in her or her psychic abilities, don’t read her books or tune in to see her on Montel. It’s that simple. I don’t defend or try to disclaim her abilities. It’s not my place.

Official Science trough CICAP. CISCOP. ( Commitee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal) Assert: ” the observation completed scientifically of only one 1 authentic Paranormal Phenomenon, would constitute the greatest DISCOVERY than all the times. Fundamental the science like Physic and Chemistry and of continuation all other disciplines that on they based would go rewritten. A conceptual revolution of immense capacity would derive some and all the human knowledege deeply would be modified”
Thanks.

Wow The woman gets 2 or three things wrong and you guys totally lose your faith. She has gotten plenty of things right and anyone who gets ANYTHING right would be totally amazing. And she has just had a recent interview on why she didn’t take the james randi test. You guys really are lost souls. It’s ok though i guess because everyone is skeptical. Sometimes i think she’s a fraud too but i think it was just a test of my faith. Too many weird things have hapened to me for me to not believe. And also alot of her predictons came true like brad a jen breaking up and britney and kevin and the whole florida terrorists thing that happened last year. When we couldn’t take liquids on planes. she predicted all of that back in 1999. Thats all i have to say people. God bless you.

In reguards to the last reply, who didnt see Britney and Kevin and Brad and Jen breaking up?? Its Hollywood. People are married and divorced every other week! The reason she wouldnt take the test is because she is a fraud and she knows it. Why would she purposely out herself? And if anyone is a lost sole it would be you. The bible strictly prohibits speaking to the dead. She claims to be a Christian, but also believes that Jesus is not God. And he did not die on the cross but rather faked his death and ran away with his wife mary magdalin!! BUT WE ARE THE LOST SOLES. If people would trust a little more in their own intuition instead of asking everyone one else to “GUIDE” them or to tell them what to do we would not have these people taking advantage of people in a time of need!!!! And how can you say “God bless you” when you believe in her. For she doesnt believe in God, she believes in many Gods? Think about it.

Michelle-You started your posting with some inciteful comments but then wandered into talking about lost fish. Maybe you meant “souls.” You warn people against trusting and paying for a “guide”, especially the type that gets rich by preying on the gullible. Great. But it doesn’t take a belief in a religion to be wary, just some common sense. Martino-You should apply for Randi”s million-dollar prize. Prove to all what you keep endlessly posting….oh wait, I don’t think subjectively interpreting the shape of clouds could be scientifically tested. Ah well, maybe Sylvia will claim the prize.

I know first hand that she is a fraud. When then Hollenbeck kid was kidnapped I had a dream that he was in a basement some where. I thought maybe it was the church that was near where he was taken. I put it out of my mind. Well when Ben Ownebe was taken I had a strong supision they were connected. I about died when I saw that they were found. And I lived in the apartment just upstairs from where they were. I lived there about 20 years ago. I feel I have some psychic powers myself but I never know the details till its to late!

I had a phone reading with Sylvia in 10/2006. Sorry to those who believe in her but she is a con. My call only lasted 12 minutes & she didnt go into most of the things she has listed on her website. Why, because she isnt psychic, she knows that people are so excited that they will lead the call because you have waited over a year to talk to her. She didnt go into great detail about anything-she was very vague. Most of my questions were regarding the health of my family & I. It’s almost like she picks parts of the body that most people have problems with; stomach, back, legs etc.. She never mentioned anything about my father being diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer this past April-If she would have at the very least have mentioned my dad & cancer I would say she is the real deal. Also my grandmother recently fell & broke her neck- how come Sylvia didnt mention that? I really wanted her to be gifted but the only thing she is gifted in is thievery. I have been following her for years but no longer. I’m glad I spent the $700 to see for myself whether she is authentic-now I no longer have to wonder. I do agree with the person above who said her books are inspirational as they do talk about god, meditation, peacefulness etc. At least she writes about positive rather than negative.

It’s hard to believe that people still stand up for Sylvia Browne ( it is with an ‘e’ now, but she used to be ‘Brown’, maybe adding the ‘e’ was more exotic?) after all the mistakes she has made. Some people are writing in “Oh give her a break, one mistake!” They haven’t looked very hard at her history if that’s what they think. She’s been wrong more often, way more often than just once. I used to think she was arrogant but I was impressed with her and thought she had some real talents. I had some doubts and I found more and more that just didn’t sit right with me, I am referring to her Wednesday spots on Montel Williams’ show. I started looking for sites about her and came across ‘Stop Sylvia Browne’ and from there I just found more and more to de-bunk her ‘gifts’ and not only from Mr. Lancaster’s site but from many links as well. According to Mr. Lancaster he has a transcript of an interview with Montel and even he says he doesn’t believe in her but she’s funny, has a stage presence and gets good ratings! How’s that coming from someone who praises her up and down on the show and plugs all of her books shamelessly while she sits smugly by his side and claims she writes all of her books longhand with a pen. With a new book every other week and as she claims, she’s got a stack more at the publisher waiting for publication, helping all of these police all over the country solve unsolved crimes, doing personal interviews and phone interviews, being yapped at by all manner of spirits wanting to get messages across and leaving her body every night in astral projection ,oh and don’t forget the talk shows, Larry King and Montel and others, when does this walking wonder ever rest? Maybe she’s above such an earthly function. I really wanted to believe in her just like these ‘one mistake’ people but, come on reality calls and they’re just not answering. I didn’t even mention the huge fees she charges to share her gifts (phone readings?- phony readings is more like it!) I always wanted to find out what some of the people that she’s read on Montel had to say after they checked out her claims that they need lecithin( isn’t it always lecithin they need or they’re allergic to dairy?) or that ‘John Smith’ was a previous owner of their house(and was killed, died without resolving issues or killed someone there) - “check the records honey”-. Montel has never had a Sylvia Browne follow up show to have any of these guests back to say ‘oh Sylvia you were right on the money’, not that I know of anyway, but I’ve seen lots of other follow ups about other topics, I wonder why? Speaking of Montel, I always thought he was a really stand up guy but not so much any more. It’s a shame that Sylvia is such a hustler, I really wanted to believe too. I think her days are numbered as a top notch psychic, unfortunately she’s caused a lot of people pain and grief and taken a lot of money along the way. She’s heading up there in years, maybe if she takes lecithin or sweet talks one of her angels she’ll get a few extra years before she burns in hell or turns to fairy dust or whatever.

Sylvia has helped people, I am one of those people. She told me that my grandfather Rob, and she knew his name was Rob, was suffering from a clogged heart vessel. He had been having problems and doctors couldn’t find it. After speaking with Sylvia, he went back to the doctor and had his heart checked, it was a clogged heart vessel. My question to Sylvia was not about my grandfather she just told me those things out of the blue. My question to her was about a broach that had been lost for about 5 years that my great grandmother had given me. I asked her where it was at. She told me that it was in the attic of the house I had moved from several years ago. She was right, I went back to my mothers house where I had lived before and began a search in the attic. I found the broach in a small box within another larger box, just like Sylvia said. So, yes she makes mistakes but she is not a fruad!

ALL psychics take advantage on poor grieving unsuspecting peoplle, it’s horrible they’re like vultures. Sylvia Brown is no worse and no better than any of ‘em in my opinion. She might get one right here and there, but people that call off Police searches based on info they get from her are taking a huge risk and they’re responsibile for making that decision. I do agree that these people that play greiving people like this are the scum of the earth but the people that fall for it are adults, they choose to believe in her and take her so-called predicitions as if it were gospel truth. Sylivia Brown, Miss Cleo, John Edward and his ‘Crossing Over’ show; the list goes on; every one of ‘em or con artists. If people insist on buying into it they’re going to continue to pay the price for it. The best way to stop it is to not pay any attention to these frauds; but is that going to happen? Heck no!! People eat this stuff up; they watch the TV shows, the buy the magaizines and even pay for psychics, then they want to complain when the psychic rips ‘em off. Well you’re damn right you got ripped off what did you expect?

I have to laugh at all the “devil” talk.. If you do your research on the bible and the testiments attatched, you will relize there is no hell. The churches have brainwashed everyone so much. Everyone has there own opinion and their own beliefs. Who is anyone on here to condemn anyone else for what they believe. If you believe in Slyvia, wonderful, as I do. If you don’t, then that is your right. We need to stop criticizing each other and condeming each other for what each believes. There are people that post on here over and over. Isn’t there something more creative you could be doing with your time. Noone is free from sin, because sin is man made… to control the masses…

Its people like all of you who have nothing better to do with yourselves than to try to discredit an call names. I’d like to know how many of you no-it-alls have actually talked to Sylvia or are you scared? What makes each one of you so sure shes so fake? I’d like to know how many of you do anything for nothing. People like all of you are the real problems in this world. When I read all these ignorant comments it made me realize even more why me an so many other people actually believe in her an all she stands for. The handful of lonely sad people who are all to quick to criticize an pass judgment must simply be jealous an wish they had been blessed with any kind of special talent. I guess if they got any balls or like to actually back up their on words then the best thing to do is go talk to her but then I guess you’ll have to find someone else to hate.

I think the advantage that a sceptic has is not involve themselves deeply into an understand of the paranormal, particularly when those sceptic influences comes from a lack of personal experience, or accomplished knowledge.
Hudini spent much of his life trying to prove paranormal as fraud, but he had a paranormal experience that was the result of saving his life once while he was about to drown searching for a hole in the ice where he could escape.
Sure there are frauds out there. Scam artist use any means by which to get your money, even love, and the promise of money. When did you quit looking for that?
If it is religion that supports your understand that psychics are frauds then you may have turned away from the understanding of what a prophet is. Information that comes from spirit experience. And it is these first hand experiences that these prophets have had that have encourage belief of the peoples of that time period. Look even closer and you will find not all of each prophets predictions have had complete fulfillment of those predictions.
It has been said earlier in these comment statements that only the wrong answers of Sylvia Browne need be considered to prove she is a fraud. But that is not scientific because because it is a bias sample. A sample that is vary small by the way as only two case incidences have been mentioned of gross errors. Sadly these were way off, ( sadly because the information given leads people to look in the wrong directions for the answers they so desperately need). Silvia is only evil in your mind if you do not believe she has any intuition of significance. Everyone makes mistakes, even big ones. The FBI, CIA, Presidents, Police, and you. We have a WAR going on right now because of errors made, maybe lies, and not even being able to interpret real information in this physical reality. Why would any sceptic expect 100% accuracy from the etherial, that is something we can not see well or most of us at all.
Trying to be the best medium you can is difficult at best. Imagine you are sitting in a radio room on a ship and you are turning your receiver and you pick up a broadcast. You have no way of really verifying 100% of the time if what is being broadcast is truth or not. You get a message of a strong signal influence that a boat is going down and that they need help. Most good people as operators would act on this information hoping that it would bring some help. That is what Sylvia is trying to do.
Spirits on the other side are just like people here, not all of them speak the truth, not all of them know the truth, many would like to help and so they may try to, but there is no real accounting of the level of accuracy of what is being broadcast.
Sylvia has a spirit guide, but her guide’s job as she sees it is NOT to make sure Sylvia has the most accurate information, in statement by Sylvia her guide says she will not intervene with regards to the accuracy of Sylvia’s readings, that Sylvia must learn to do develop this skill on her own. So you get what you pay for (or not) “so to speak”. But here is the clincher, she is more right than wrong, she can sometimes give names of people, first and last with regards to crimes and many cases have been solved because the investigators looked more closely and then found the evidence they needed to proceed with the case. If you were to flip a coin for twenty years straight and keep results of your accuracy you might likely find yourself still at 50% right, a predictable average. Sylvia is giving names, and descriptions, and in some cases predictions, the odds of being wrong are astronomical, this is no coin toss. Yet Sylvia Brown has been on Montel for about 16 years. Believe me the sceptics would be out in greater force if she was wrong on 50 or 40 % of her information, even though the odds against her are magnitudes greater than a coin toss.
One should always be able to question what is and what is not, especially information that Sylvia or anyone else is giving you, but you would be foolish not to consider the element of it’s accuracy as well.
I think it would be silly if you were hearing a voice and it told you to go Kill your first born son, and you went off to do that. I think that some of the information that is in religion is not accurate, some of it is allegories, some of it is real experiences. Perhaps the best chance of understanding God or the intent of religions is to look close and consider the information they have, some of the information is political influences of the time, not truth or reality as we like to call it. But life in the physical is not really reality, if the time we spend here in the physical is considered along side the concept of eternity. If you want to think you are going to die and then that is it, go ahead. But when you have a real OBE yourself or and experience with the spirit then you will have to understand that the best you can.
If you have not had spiritual experiences, like hearing a voice, or feeling the touch, or sensing the prophetic event of your own, it does not mean they do not exist, it just means you have not experienced it. If the world only had blind people in it except for just a few, those that could see would have no way of proving, or even sharing the concept of sight to a blind world, colors, shapes would be vary big stumbling concepts for understanding. Some times maybe Silvia see with cartaracts instead of the absolute clear 15/15 vision that was wants or expect her to see with.
You want to know how difficult it is, try to build the sensitivity on your own, even on a small scale. You will error, I 100% guaranty it, and that is a prediction from me to you.
