Sylvia Browne: Gifted psychic....or whacked out psycho

The woman who comes on Montel all the time.

I vote for complete whacked out shyster. She's making money off of others grief. She's right up there with Ms. Cleo.

:shrug:

I always just flip through cause whenever I AM flipping...she's all he ever has on.

His show is for ratings and entertainment, not for bringing people accurate information.

every wednesday, and since today is wednesday, I'm assuming you saw her on this morning, and I am divided on this...

I do think she is a whackjob, but again, i believe in spirts/ghosts things like that, but not in people who proclaim to know about it, while being on tv, and making money off of it...

you kinda have to go with Option B :shrug:

positive text message a day thing... :hi:

In which case she's a lunatic, but not technically a deliberate fraud.


For the record--she's completely full of shit, whether she knows it or not.

very charitable.

:)

She probably has ability, but if someone was what they say, they could predict 9/11 and the lottery every day. Each "psychic" has limited ability that they don't admit to.

They show how fake she is, and they have both exactly replicated both Browne's and John Edward's "cold readings."

I don't believe it about Sylvia, yet.

I believe in "psychic phenomenona" but not in many actual psychics.

For example: I read tarot cards to people for fun, but not for money. Most of what I do when I'm doing a reading is based far more on my knowlege of human psychology than on anything genuinely psychic. You don't have to be a mind reader to ask the right questions and properly read body language. But I don't like to do lots of consecutive readings for people, and I don't like to do them for people who take them too seriously-I have a friend who does, who thinks I'm some kind of psychic because I have red hair and was born with my caul intact.

I do believe that there are people who can read minds, and there are people who can see the future. I also believe that the future can be changed by exercising free will, and that people who claim they have some kind of special power probably don't have it. I think that if some people really had the ability to read minds all the time, they wouldn't like it very much in the long run and wouldn't want to have people seeking their advice all the time.

I think Jonathon Edwards is not talking to the dead, I think he's reading people's minds, and that's why he has to ask so many questions. So, I think he has a talent, but it's not the one he's advertising.

I went to see a psychic in Greenwich Village one time (in 1990)-Ms. Dee, across from the Cornelia Street Cafe. She was good-she knew specifics about me without my giving her the answers. I don't think she saw those things in my palm, however, I think she read my mind.

If so, that psychic you saw would be a multi-millionaire. And John Edwards is a fake from the get-go.

On it you could find predictions she'd made for the year ahead, going back several years. She is rarely right about anything on a grand scale. I think she must be a gifted hack.
