Who here heard of, read of, saw, listened to Sylvia Browne? If you have, what do you think of her? Have you read any of her books? DO you think shes the real deal?
yes i must admit when my mom says she is going to appear on the montel williams show i do sit and watch, she is a very intresting women i enjoy watching her predictions.
Once in a while she comes and does a reading in front of an audience in my city. I always try to get tickets to see her.. Sometimes she's dead on and other times I think she makes stuff up.. I guess it's just hit or miss..
ok sylvia brown is on montel williams and i have watched her shows ugh i cant stand her....
i watch her and well she just might be the real....but not holding breath
but shes seems ok
my mom likes her alot, i think shes pretty neat myself. my mom has read some of her books she said that they were interesting.
yeah, i have watched her a couple of times. i do believe in the ability...if the audience is not pre planned that is. it seems as though she really knows things and helps solve heart breaking mysteries!
i was thinking of saving up some cash to send my mom to have a private reading by her. my mom believes she can predict. it would be good for her to get out and do that.
*Rubs Chin* I bet, everyone who thinks she is 'Gifted' reads horoscopes too.. right? There might be 'gifted' people who can predict certain events, but i can tell you one thing for sure!!! They are not appearing on TV shows and writing books baout it! If someone has been blessed with such a gift, they will be very reluctant to use it, if they can really predict the furute of other people, would you want to tell someone that they will marry, have kids, and then watch them die in a nasty accident.... Get my point? People like this Slyvia.. are just like the evanglists, on TV.. $$$$$ Dollar Dollar Bill's Y'all.. Cash Rules... thats the only thing they can predict correctly.. that their bank accounts will be growing fatter day by day....
I agree with Dhampir. As one who is "Gifted", as you might say, I can tell you that there is no way I am going to tell anyone their future. It is not my place to influence someone else's destiny. And I have NEVER done a reading for money. I would not do that. Gifts are given to people, not to be exploited, used to gain monetary items, but to help people.
As far as Sylvia Browne, sure, she might just have something. But, I could also stand in a crowded room and say "I'm seeing a transition in someone's life. A great loss." And about half the people would raise their hands. OK. Narrow it down a bit..."A red car, I see a red car"...narrows it down to two...Enie menie minie mo...Pick one...
See what I'm saying? Most psychics are vague in their readings, because they do not want to be wrong. Or, they just don't know. Fortune Cookies. You open a fortune Cookie. It reads: "You will gain much in the future". OK. Sure you will. You are still young. Someday, you will buy another car, a house, get married...and so on...so the cookie is right. That doesn't mean I am going to pay $500.00 to get another cookie because that was "So right. WOW."
nope, sorry I haven't a clue who this person is...so I am just wasting space sorry again
lol you would be surprised because there are people with several different gifts that are currently being used, even by the government. It wouldn't surprise me that some use it for money. Not a good way to go about it, but it happens.
well getting rich is nice
using what you got to get there better
real or fraud does it matter
if people believe?
Dhamfir is right,... remember Cleo, and that irritating "Crossing Over with John Edwards"?
No one can predict the future,... well we all can predict what will happen but I don't believe anyone KNOWS what is gonna happen, its INSANE
geez Im sad I meant Dhampir, once again whoops you can call me Gwither or Gwitr or Gwyff or whatever,...
*Laughs* There is another person like this, well famous.. A Spoon loving Mo Fo, by the name of Uri Gellar, who was ment to be a bit of a mystic also.. (bit of a crazie i'd say)
The Uri Gellar effect is a term given to feats of psychokinesis that are performed by the Israeli psychic, Uri Gellar. To many, he was the greatest demonstrator of psychic phenomena of all time. Supporting that fact were the twisted spoons, restarted clocks, watches and drawings that were copied from the minds of others, which were left in his wake.
Uri Gellar claimed he came into his psychic powers at five years of age, when he saw a tiny blue spark on his mother's sewing machine, and tried to touch it, he received a violent shock. After that incident, he says that his psychic abilities showed itself immediately. He was able to read his mother's mind, and after that, it progressed on to spoon bending and making the hands of watches and clocks turn faster.
With his high profile life, it is not surprising to see that he was often targeted by debunkers as an object of ridicule. The late 1970s saw Uri Gellar retiring from the limelight, because he wanted to start doing private consulting work and helping companies dowse for minerals and oil.
More like, the late 70's when phycedelic drugs were hard to find and everyone woke up to what he was doing... Brainwashing.. the best gift a person can have...

i dont think anyone has abilities like this yet.though it might be starting to kick in and work but i believe in the future as the human race evloves we will get the abillities.
right now we dont use alot of our brain, but as time goes on we will use more and more of it. but it wont happen in our life time.
Since I read tarot and am a professional psychic, giving reads on a site twice a week, for several years now, and have been into all of this, astrology, etc., for almost 25 years, I am giving my humble opinion.
I believe she is real, along with many other psychics, mediums, and the like, with abillities...John Edward, etc.
Just because you do not personally subsribe to that other worldly area of our dimension, does not void it's existance.
What most do not realize is that psychics are not 100% all the time. In fact, only about 70%. They are not gods, just people with abilities to pick up on subtle vibrations all around us, at all times. It is unfortunate that most are too closed to sense them, such as sensitives...the ability to receive messages from guides, higher self. Sometimes the messages are unclear, because contrary to popular belief, it doesn't work like Charmed, Buffy, Practical Magic and Bewitched. The messages are more like fast flashes of snapshots in the mind or symbolism, intense feelings of an emotion, and to decipher that sometimes is quite tricky.
Now, with say, astrology, something I've studied for a very long time, there is much more to it, than the sun sign. You have all the planets involved, and a sign in each--this includes sun and moon signs. You have an ascendant, and you have a decendant. You have solar and lunar returns. You have aspects, that involved degrees by where your planets are placed in your chart. You have the midheaven in your chart, and you have 12 houses, in which all of this is placed. You have nodes, both north and south, that have to do with your karma linked from past lives and how it's residue affects you in this one.
It is all very exact and mathmatical....and deemed a science. Those who do not believe it's accuracy, should indeed study it, and would realize how true it is. Ha...and accurate. That's how I find out about how people think, alot of the time. When you do your chart or someone else's, it surely helps you realize your good and not so good points, from the inner and deep level, thus enabling spiritual healing and advancement to begin.
PS--What sucks, though, is these people get caught up in themselves and charge way too much! The information that they recieve shouldn't be reserved for the rich only! Ugh...
I've read a lot of her books, and much of what she says I have found to be believable. Not EvErYthing. What she says about what it's like before we come here, and the other things she explains in her books, I find I am able to find reason in what she comes up with. My grandmother just picked up another one of her books yesterday....they can be addicting.
oh the abilities are around. just not many people know about it.
I can't tolerate her. She has taken Ann Rice's look. She needs to take her foot long fingernails out of her mouth and go on a diet. Thats just my opinion.
i have heard of her she seems gifted then again she could just turn out to be another miss cleo
Jamie I agree with you 100 %. Its not like the TV shows. When I read tarot or even when I just " get the feeling" its almost as though someone is whispering in my ear and telling me what to say. It can also be a flash or feeling. SOME people are scared to know about the future or even scared of it all together.
LadyLoveCat..
I find what you said to be pretty rude. Wasn't there a thread about stereotyping? As for hear " taking Ann Rice's style" A person cannot claim a style a person makes who they are... and the comment about " take her long nails out of her mouth and go on a diet.
grr at enter key..
but to take her long nails out of her mouth and go on a diet is a pretty wrong thing to say. Seeing as I am sure your not perfect and neither is most of society. The world isn't a grand place. Actually its nice to see someone go out in the public and be secure with who they are and dosen't hide in the shadows because of the many people that have said the same thing you have said.
she is a want to be i have seen her before, she is well lts say a fake
in my opinion? contacting a psychic for every little thing as people do, even in chat rooms, is saying " i can't make decisions by myself". It's pathetic to me when you are too scared to make a choice yourself. I mean, most psychic's are full of it and there to take your money. I don't agree with using your skills to profit. Sure money is neccessary but that isnt what those skills are for. What ever happened going with your own gut feelings? or following your instincts or intuition? I'm sure it's annoying to the real psychic's too.
I've read one of her books. Not quite sure of the title but it was a fiction novel. I don't think she is real. Anyone can predict and Earthquake on a fault line. Anyone can predict a monsoon in the"near future". I think she's full of shit like Nostradamous (sp?) It is a hit or miss thing when trying to predict things. By nostradamous standards we're only supposed to have 48 states right now because California was supposed to fall into the ocean in the year 2000 shortly followed by Florida. Oh and he also predicted that we weren't supposed to have Chickens by 1999. My general opinion is that most psychics are full of shit.
My couple of pennies:
Jamie & CountessMoon have eaten the Cake. I would like to serve them Ice Cream too......
...for those of you who have seen ms. silvia browne in action, you may have taken notice to the various reactions/responses from those she has helped. We know she does it for cash although I have only seen her do it for free as she has been a guest on many shows i.e. montel williams, etc. who for many of which have gotten closure to very deep rooted sorrows in conjuct w/ passed loved ones or her personal opinion for minor or major decissions in thier life which some of you have shunned (as if u never have asked someone for thier opinion or guidance rather a parent, friend or etc. -which might I add, wont have nearly half the insight Silvia may provide)
Moreover, I thought that was particularly shrud coming from you of all members LadyLoveCat!
Of course, my couple of pennies may be disscarded, i mean after all, they're just a couple of pennies!
i think that it matters what u belive like i think that somtimes its real but others there is no way that she is right
Yeah,i sit down with my mom and my mawmaw(grandmother)and watch her on M.W. she could be real and it can be a hoax or something.it could lean both ways.i mean u never know if the people that ask the questions or something rehursed it before the show came on and stuff.or she could be real.but i'll admit she's neat!
LOL
I've never heard of her. Sounds like a point of interest though...
Her books are interesting, but I haven't formed an opinion about whether or not she is right or wrong because if you phrase it correctly, it will always be right. But I do believe she is the closest thing to real as I have ever seen.
Aside from the fact i practice tarot, i think she is a crack pot
what is a crack pot?
-from tarot practicianer Flux....so.
I beleive she is a fraud for just the fact that she makes people pay a bitch load of money to have her read them and their past loved ones. i belive if you have a gift like that it should be a gift for everyone so you should not make people pay.
hey razorbladekissescutmylips I got the gift of music and it's my life but I still got to make money so I can eat I can't perform for free all the time. she might be fake but that doesn't mean everyone with a gift should give it away for free. if I had the money I would give my shit away for free but I don't that why I might as well make money doing what I love to do. sorry if that sounded mean just telling what I was thinking.
sorry for the comment from before didn't see "a gift like that" part. please forgive me.
Never meet Sylvia but she has been around for some time now. Mediumship is real however. Some people do have an easier time contacting spirit. And in different ways. My sister has been doing this for years! I myself have many experiance also but not through mediumship. Two weeks ago, my sister and I took a weekend course from James VanPraagh who is also well known. Total fun! Yes. They may be real.
I have to agree with Raven370 here ... "because if you phrase it correctly, it will always be right" I don't know if she's real or not .. I've wathced her on shows, as well as others .. and the key is that yes if any question or statement is phrased correctly the outcome can be exactly what you hoped it to be .. So that's not saying wither she, or any of the others are for real or not ..
and I have to agree with DarkRavenLF here as well, just because some one has a gift, does that mean they should give it away ... no, they have a right to feed their familes and themselves, to proved a home for themselves .. just as doctors and lawyers and anyone else who goes to school for years to get their education in order to serve people .. granted they shouldn't charge as much as they do .. but then again the cost of school and living is way high .... adds up to $1.50 please thank you .. >;^}
I've hear of her and seen her books. Though I do not wish to read them my self. Other people have opinions of her, I personally... Well
I've heard of her
I've seen her and heard of her....she's ok...I heard she is a good psychic
LOL LadyLoveCat. I would like to believe that Sylvia is what she says she it. But I highly doubt it.
well i think on sumthings she has it but others she misses by far.....so it really depines....
Ive never liked her, she comes off as phony to me. Its nothing she's said, nothing she's done.. just dont like her.
I am a John Edward fan tho. I loved his show.

i agree she is a fraud i previously posted her charges and my faviorite psychic is the man with the white hair and black mustash his name sliped my brain right now from reading this thread but jhon edwards is ok but come on montle
williams should know sylivias a fake makes his show look bad
I am familiar with Sylvia Browne although I have not read any of her books. As for being the real deal, I am not entirely sure. I used to watch her when she came on Montel Williams. I would listen to her speak and she would often get very vague. In addition, she stated that Al Gore would run in this last election and Al Gore did not.
But, in her defense, she is only human and can screw up from time to time. In addition, she has not read me yet and so I will have to wait until then.
I'm Australian, practically most of the people you speak of, i've probably never heard of.
i've heard of her
saw her on montell
one of my co-workers is obscessed with her
i could care less
i went to one of her talks a few years ago, and i don't think she's the real deal. she's way to showy to be real
omg my mom watches her everytime shes on montell williams...i dont think shes really all that great, but i do remember one prediction she made and she said in 2010 aliens will visit and once that happens i'll believe it
i watch her on tv all the time..shes pretty amazing..i suppose she is the real deal but im not quite sure
yes i heard of her ,would like to sit with her to see if she is for real
my response is no one is perfect everyone makes mistakes even sylvia browne the reason i would ask questions is because of closure from the passed and if someone i loved was going to die and they new i would want to spend as much time as i could with them before their death
I've seen her on tv shows,but have never read any of her books.
WHO the hell hasn't seen, heard, think they heard of her. and why do all of you care so much that she exists or that she's the real deal. I would rather hear about miss cleo than browne. I'm sorry to be a bitch but this thing has been posted with the same question by various different people. yes I've heard of her. No i think she's just fucked up in the head and hears voices like all the rest of us
I've heard of her. I've seen her on montel williams and I have read one of her books. To me she seems a little too phony.
everyone has there own opinion i guess the reason that most everyone on here that doesnt believe that shes real is because they havent had someone tell them anything about there passed or future how can you believe if you never had it done thats what i think i might be wrong though
I love sylvia browne i have read alot of her books I dont know if i believe her 100% but i find her very interesting. One of her books that is really good is "life on the otherside".
I cannot stand her. Not cause of her gift... it might be real... or cause she has a fat wallet... that's cool with me... it's just... her that I can't stand.
HELL YEAH SHE IS REAL LLOK AT WHAT SHE TOLD MONTEL WILLIAMS ON LIVE TV SHE TOLD HIM THAT HE HAD MS AND TOLD HIM TO GO TO THE DOCTORS AND GET CHECKED AND HE DID AND HE REALLY DID HAVE MS AND EVERY SINCE THAT SHOW I HAVE BELIEVED IN HER AND EVERYONE THAT THINKS THAT SHE IS FAKE IS FUCKING STUPID AS HELL CAUSE ALL OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE LIKE HER THEY ARE ALL FAKE BUT SHE IS THE REAL DEAL AND I WILL STICK BY HER THE WHOLE WAY
