Psychic medium or just a fraud?
Sylvia Browne: it’s a name which causes strong reactions in a lot of people.
Robert S. Lancaster is a computer programmer living in Los Angeles County. He wants to STOP Sylvia Browne. His skeptical views are balanced by links to other articles and sites supporting her claims.
To her fans, who believe that she is a “true psychic medium,” she is a down-to-earth, spiritually deep woman who, with the help of her “spirit guide” Francine, can see the future, diagnose illnesses, find lost children, and communicate with the dead.
To skeptics, who believe that she has not proved any of her purported abilities, she is almost certainly a fraud, using stage tricks such as “cold reading” to simulate psychic abilities, preying on the grieving, the ill, and the spiritually needy.
Real or a fraud? Check out the info and decide.
For me, all I want from Sylvia Browne is one thing: cut those fingernails of yours! They’re driving me crazy. Ooops, what if she psychically caught that message from me?

I have mixed feelings about Ms. Browne. I’ve read several of her books and she comes across as someone who truly wants to help and use her “powers” for good. I also like John Edward but after watching them both “work” for awhile, you can see a pattern develop where they are basically guessing and people are forcing the answers they receive from these folks to fit into their experiences. Their answers are often vague and imprecise.
To me, mediums are entertainers, no better no worse. They are in the business of providing a service. Like any service, sometimes it doesn’t work. In the case of the Shawn Hornbeck, she simply got it wrong. Dead wrong…LOL..
I agree with you about the fingernails. They are pretty nasty. They’re most likely Lee Press-ons, I figure, since most women can’t grow them that long.
Yuck!
Interesting post.
Cheers.

If she’s so good. I want her to call ME and give me that winning lotto numbers for this weeks Lotto 6/49.
OK Ms. Browne, are you reaching my thoughts? I’m concentrating really hard, but your not calling.
I’m thinking of my phone number……
Waiting for you to call……

DOUGH!
James Brown called from the afterlife.
Was wondering why I was bothering him.
I said I was sorry, I was trying to get Ms. Browne to call me, not Mr. Brown..

I was trying to remember this one’s name, so I figured I’d go on images and google “fake psychic.”
Well, I don’t have to tell you what I think now do I? You can probably read my mind at thia point.
