I just want to say that just because psychics may charge fees for their services, it doesn't automatically mean thay're frauds. Have any of you ever been to a real psychic before? I have, many times, and I can tell you that they have every right to charge a fee because you're paying for their time, just like you would any other professional that you would hire. The woman I work with not only does readings that are very very accurate, but she's affordable, and she teaches classes on how to develop psychic abilities as well. Her whole life is this- she cannont afford not to charge, otherwise she could not pay her bills. She left her regular job because she felt this was more important. I've seen her bring grieving people comfort, I've seen her say things that no one else could know about myself, and better yet, I've known her students before they had learned to develop any psychic ability themselves, and then saw them turn in to great psychics. These people are not frauds. Not all of them are little Sylvia Browne's waiting to happen.

Saying that though, the jury is still out on Sylvia Browne as far as I'm concerned. I think she may some ability, but I don't think she tries anymore, to be honest. I think she has let her ego get the best of her. I really do think she has some ability, but I don't think the care is there anymore, if ever. Sadly, she gives legit psychics a bad name. All I can say, is if you have never been to a legit psychic, then please don't judge. The real ones are not like Sylivia Browne and will not charge $700 an hour- she does that because she can and because she's famous- that is all.

For people who are seriously interested and open minded about seeing a psychic, just be careful- shop around, do your homework. Word of mouth is the best thing.

She predicted that in 2008, Brad Pitt and Anjelina would break up..They are now married and having twins (not that I care) but it was just funny!!jn

I saw Sylvia on that show with that fellow M M not Maury but the african american gentleman, "dang it' JN whats that guys name??? You know the one with all the hero stories and life challenge stuff??

Anyways the audience all ways say no to the questions she asks them. her predictions are never right or never happen, and I just want to snap that womans finger nails. OMG there so gross.


The Montel Williams Show , "woot, woot".

Whenever she is asked about missing people, a lot of times she's like, "Yup, they're dead." It really made me mad when the family started crying, and they wanted to ask more questions like, how, when, and where is the body? But she was like, move on, next question. You're an idiot for not knowing this anyway.

There is only one real psychic in the world today.

His name is Derek Acorah.

Just kidding.

They're not such a threat really.

IMO it's a safe bet she won't be using those nails to scratch the back of some guy who's on top of her in bed.

Oops...

One of my friends has at least two of her books. I picked up one a few years ago (can't remember title) and browsed through it.
This one wasn't about predictions - it was about about the afterlife. Something like how we choose our life lessons
before we are born and that we have spirit guides.

She also said in the book that she was founding her own religion. I haven't heard anything lately in the media about how many
people have signed up and if she still planned on doing this.

I don't take what she said in the book all that seriously myself, just amusing ideas to think about.
My friend is a Christian who probably isn't going to convert. And this was well before the ending to the kidnapping case.

I think what she writes about the afterlife is what we'd like to think happens, doesn't make it so though, but people will buy into what she's saying because they're desperately grieving and she's saying what they want to hear. She's the worst type of parasite there is.

Little bit out off topic, but... "A self-proclaimed psychic who claimed to be capable of resurrecting the dead is awaiting a verdict from a Moscow court. Grigory Grabovoy is accused of taking money from people in exchange for promises to bring their relatives back to life." link. Finally...
