sylvia browne

I've been really enjoying this podcast for the past couple of months and went back into the archives to find this episode that may be of interest to long time denizens of this forum and its prior incarnation. The podcaster generally does a great job at deep dives to swindles both big and small...

Every year we see a bunch of "Psychics" list their predictions. I guess this year I was preoccupied with the bushfires, but I didn't see any. I'm going to go way out on a limb and suggest that none of them predicted a global lockdown... My neighbour claims that Nostradamus predicted it. I said...

I was watching 20/20 right now and the girls who were kidnapped in Cleveland are the focus. It turns out that one of their mothers was on the Montel show while they were missing and Sylvia Browne gave a reading. She told the mother that the daughter was dead and the daughter was watching the...

Last night, Susan was watching an episode of ABC's "20/20". I was in another part of the house (on the computer, of course) but would catch snippets of the dialogue and narration. Eventually, I realized that the segment was all about the Cleveland kidnapping of Amanda Berry, Gina De Jesus and...

I'm reading all the comments on the yahoo's news section as well as the USA Today section regarding Browne's demise. Seeing so many people say things like "Sylvia Browne helped millions and millions of people and brought comfort to those seeking her help." How is telling people their child was...

1988 thru 2004 represented “the peak years” in popularity (across both global paranormal book sales and TV viewership of paranormal programming), with the majority of TV mediums and “psychic detectives” now beyond 70 years old. In recent years more than a dozen of the most widely recognized...

I received an email today from a member of Browne's family stating that she passed away this morning at 5am. I would think that it was related to her recent strokes, but do not know that for a fact. I would discourage one and all from any snarky comments. Whatever else may be said of her, she...

Large billboards have gone up for psychic actress Sylvia Browne, previously convicted of investment fraud and grand theft. Her recent apparent delusions of forecasting to parents shocking visions of their dead child --- ones actually later found very much alive --- have shrunk her support by...

It's been a little over a week since Amanda Berry was saved after being held against her will for a decade. Sylvia Browne, who told the girl's mother she was dead, has been mostly quiet, but issued a statement and a youtube video on her homepage. The statement: At...

According to MontgomeryNews.com:

With Sylvia Browne's recent failed prediction about the Pope, I looked at some more of her predictions. Sylvia Browne makes several predictions for 2005: 1) Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are still together. 2) Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones has a "problem". Maybe she should name a...

Sylvia Browne’s “End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies About the End of the World” was released in hardcover in June 2008. As most people are aware, she turns books out at a quick rate with co-author Lindsay Harrison writing several a year. Recently I was reading some of her books. They have...

Received the following in an email with the subject "Chris Dufresne" (for those who do not know: Chris Dufresne is one of Sylvia Browne's sons. He has written a couple of books with her, and does "phone readings" for a few hundred dollars less than his mother.): One of the first articles I...

Got the following email at StopSylvia.com, with the subject "Sylvia still appearing in Vegas"

Sylvia Browne gets another softball interview. How hard is it for an interviewer to ask for proof or look up past research on Browne? Full: MLive.com/ The Saginaw News She doesn't have to prove 20 cases right. At this point, she should offer one missing persons case she was correct about...

I have not been able to confirm this, but one of the former ministers of Sylvia Browne's Church of Novus Spiritus has contacted me and told me that all of the members of Novus Spiritus' Board have either resigned or been fired - with the exception of Michael McLelland (The "Prelate" who was in...

Here's a new mention about a reading Sylvia Browne did, which the family was disappointed with because they wanted answers. Browne's "psychic" abilities didn't appear to help. More than 20 years later its still unsolved. Full: DNAinfo

I have two tickets to see her show this week. Don't worry, I didn't pay for them. Apparently she venue has to give them away to fill the room. If she asks me if I have a question for her, what do you think a good response would be? I would like to point her out as a fraud, but would not like to...

So I'm rummaging through the local events rag, and I spot an ad for Sylvia Brown who will be coming to my town soon to do her shtick. Now I'm not big on the activist scene (for skepticism); I'm not the protesting type either (yes, I'm lame... whatever), but I can't help but wonder if there is...

Here is a brief correspondence between myself and a woman who contacted me on StopSylvia.com via email. It started with an email with the subject of "Needs Jesus": My reply: She replied: My reply: In the article, the author (me) states that he is Agnostic. Her reply: From me, sent...

A recent interview with Sylvia Browne: Full: MLive.com She "predicts" natural disasters in disaster prone regions, where every year something happens. Nothing impressive, except for the Obama prediction. Because she previously "predicted": On December 27, 2006 Browne said this about the 2008...

A correspondent has sent me this link to Santa Clara Courthouse Records of cases involving Browne. Interesting.

Somehow I missed this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nANcaZO6Cw. Maybe I'm the last to hear of this little episode. What a terrible terrible person.

Here's another email I just received, with a subject of "good morning"; I'll post my reply later. Very sad, but I post it to show one way a person can be made susceptible to a psychic's con. It's nice to know that the site is still helping people.
