Manipulative woman. she KNEW what she was doing..I will not wish her ill BUT I will say the Blessings of her karma will follow her into her next life. and Karma is a cruel master..

I don't know if she was deliberately making things up or if she was just so convinced of her "ability" that she couldn't tell her imagination running wild from the occasional genuine anomalous information (which I suspect might be the case with some mediums). Either way, what she did was irresponsible and I don't think it's speaking ill of the dead to state a fact.
 
All I remember about Sylvia is when she was on C2C and she got her prediction totally wrong about some trapped miners. Even Snoory couldn't believe what he was hearing.
 
Not gloating or happy but am totally not sad that she is gone. From the few negative cases I know of she seemed to be a manipulative liar out for profit and fame.

That is not speaking ill of the dead as I think just stating what you think of someone is just being truthful. I wouldn't be nasty about someone and do any name-calling either, goes without saying.

For me, the interesting thing about mediums/psychics is whether or not they believe they have the gift. It doesn't matter so much to me if the gift is present or not, as long as people sincerely believe they have the power then I'll cut them some slack for being honest at least. It's the professional fraudsters that I reserve my vitriol for. In any walk of life it's bad to mislead/lie to people for profit or gain - when it comes to pretending to contact dead relatives etc it really is way, way beyond the pale and I detest those who practice that.
For instance, here is an example that I am making up for illustrative purposes: I lost a brother just over 10 years ago. No member of my family - to my knowledge anyway - has any interest in trying to 'contact' him or find out about his 'soul' etc. The very idea that someone might try to hoodwink my dear old mother that they are in contact with her dead son - and do it for money? :mad::mad::mad:

Anyone trying that would be in for a surprise!
 
Evil...a vampire...The karma off this one thing alone...

why norry banned her...
Noory: West of the Rockies, you're up with us on Coast to Coast. Hello there!
Caller: Hi, How ya doin?
Noory: I'm doing great, thanks. Were are you calling from?
Caller: This is Hailey [name not clear] and I am calling from Medford, Oregon.
Noory: Oh, yeah. I've been to Medford! Been there! It's a great town! Small, but it's quaint.
Caller: Yes, it is. Some would say a little too much, but you know, hey...[laughs]
Noory: [laughs] What's on your mind?
Caller: [laughs] Yeah...I wanted to ask you about Sylvia Browne.
Noory: Okay.
Caller: Ummmm... It's...I haven't really heard anything about her lately, and I didn't hear of the last time she was on your show, but a friend of mine told me that she had apparently messed up on a prediction about the miners, I believe it was...
Noory: [agreeing] Mmm hmm!
Caller: ...and I was just wondering what had happened.
Noory: I have not invited Sylvia back since that episode and..uh...on that day the miners, we had all thought, all of them, uh might have been saved, um, and there was an early report that erroneously got to a reporter down there that they had been saved and...it was pretty emotional that night. I mean, it was very emotional. I even got teary-eyed talking about the story how they had been saved and when Sylvia was on the program, I asked her a hypothetical question. It was a "what-if" question, and that was, "OK, Sylvia, what would have happened had we talked about the miners and we didn't know they had been saved, what would you have said?" And she said, "Well, I know they would have been found." And ah, and she went on, and it was our feeling that she meant they would have been found alive, as we all thought they were at the moment I asked her the real question.
Caller: Well...
Noory: Well, I went to a commercial break, and lo and behold, they... from the Sago mine down there, they revealed that they weren't...all alive, only one was alive, all the others had died. And it was a horrible, horrible story, and I'm sitting there with this story, you know, going, "How can they get this wrong?" and now I'm also sitting on Sylvia Browne telling me that she would have said "yes, they would have been found." and, again, we all presumed she meant they would have been found alive. And so I quizzed her on it again, she kind of back-tracked, claiming that, "Oh, I didn't say they were going to be found alive, I said they were going to be found." and...I guess I had a bad feeling after that, and I just don't know if I am going to invite her back yet or not. I mean I just...
Caller: Well, and someone else told me, I don't know if this is true or not, maybe you can tell me...that that one boy that was found with that other boy that had been kidnapped for a week, he had been gone for three years...
Noory: Yes, yes, yes...
Caller: ..someone said she said on the Montel show that he would be found dead or something like that, that the parents were [unintelligible]...
Noory: Yes, that is correct, the Shawn Hornbeck case. Shawn Hornbeck it was in Missouri. Not too far from where I am broadcasting in the cave here. She had told the parents he would be found dead and said that on the Montel show...lo and behold he's very much alive and trying to get his life patched back again. So she's had some pretty big blunders and it's just given us just a different kind of taste in our mouth and I don't know what I'm going to do about it. If she comes back, ummm, we may hold her to the fire considerably harder than we've done in the past...
Caller: [laughs] Yeah!
Noory: See, most of the time, just so you understand the program and me, most of the time when guests are on, this program tries to let them expound on their views. I'm not here as a daytime talk show host rattling their cage, jumping in, jumping out, you know, it's not what I consider to be personality radio.
Caller: Right.
Noory: Coast to Coast is a program driven by you and driven by the guests, that the hosts - Art Bell, one of the best - we're just facilitators of what the views are of these particular people. You know, Richard C Hoagland (sp?) talks about the face on Mars. Whether I believe it or not is not the point, it's whether YOU believe it or not, and I'm not gonna sit there and attack Richard Hoagland one way or another for his views. Now, now in the past, we've let psychics go on, um, but after it's obvious that they've made some huge blunders, we HAVE to take them to task. And so IF Sylvia Browne comes back, I'm gonna have to do that and I've gotta tell ya, Ed Dames, who I like as an individual and I have gotten to know him over the last couple years, has said on this program several weeks ago, that if Steven Fossett is not found in that region where he says he is, that it's a career breaker for him. And, you know, I think we can all conclude at this point, sadly, that Steven Fossett has perished in a plane crash. Where he is, is anybody's guess right now, but if they ever find that plane and it's not where Ed Dames has remote viewed it with his group, then we'll have to bring him to task too. So that's where it is, that's what it is in a nutshell with Sylvia Browne. that's where it is generally with most of the other guests as well.

WAit!....she's coming through again. ... She's saying..... Screw you guys .... Your all a bunch of f$#%ers ... The afterlife is real.... I am proof of it ....your all a bunch of c?&ts....


I for one speak on behalf of all paracasters when I say "Sylvia. Step into the light now. Your dead now, so shuffle off and stop bothering us. And wash your mouth out you dirtbag"
 
As far as I can tell, this woman was a black eye for the small number of people who do have some form of legitimate "gift". It always pissed me off that I could never find a decent audiobook on the topic, because all that comes up is LOADS of her garbage (she's like the Nick Redfern of New Age books, mass-produced shlock) and lame stuff from Van Praagh and John Edwards.

You know that you're a terribad charlatan if even clueless George Noory bans you from his show haha. You've gotta work really hard to trigger his BS radar.
 
let Rani have the last word:
Message from James Randi on Sylvia Browne's death
Swift
Written by James Randi
Thursday, 21 November 2013 14:29
When Sylvia Browne died, Montel Williams offered this sappy eulogy:

"A beacon that shined [sic] for so many was extinguished today, but its brightness was relit and will now shine forever for many of us from above."
To explain to this apparently dense man where his judgment has reverted to the level of a 5-year-old, I’ll point out that Browne was not at all funny "ho-ho" but frightening – to anyone with any compassion. She fed eagerly on the insecurities, the grief, the need and desperation, of her victims. They turned to her for help, at great cost -- $850 for a 20-minute telephone chat as she squatted before the TV camera like a taloned Jabba the Hutt confronting Luke Skywalker – played by Montel – and graveled out anything-but-funny, unfounded, useless, and damaging pap that added to their confusion and pain – but which made Montel and his sponsors ecstatic, because they could hear those cash register sounds as their products slid off store shelves.
And she let 10+ years go by yet never tried for the JREF million-dollar prize, as she’d agreed to do when we both appeared together on Larry King Live so many years ago…
I agree with JREF President D.J. Grothe that we do not celebrate her death, even as we criticize the way she lived. But I’ll be quite frank with you, I cannot mourn at Browne’s passing — she really hurt far too many people, and always so unapologetically.
It's unfortunate that she only stopped hurting so many people by dying.
amen Mr Randi!
 
So what's she got planned for her comeback performance?

Seriously, there's no disrespect here. If she and her believers really believe all her claims, then passing on into the next realm and following the light and all the rest should be cause for celebration because she never really died. So what's to mourn? Nothing. Plus she should be able to come back as an apparition at James Randi's next big anti-psychic woo lecture and claim the million dollar challenge ( not that it would do her any good at this point ). On the other hand, if she can't come back and prove to us all that she was right all along, maybe it's because Randi was right all along, in which case why would we want to make such a big deal of mourning over someone who made themselves into a celebrity by scamming people? Personally, I'd love nothing more than to see her do a comeback performance. Surely, after all she's claimed and been through, she must have planned for this?
