Sylvia Browne: Psychic or Charlatan?

a practicing psychic. In the middle of the conversation, the Browne question popped in my head. I thought, I had to ask her opinion. However, when the words started coming out of my mouth, for some reason, I couldn’t remember Browne’s name; so, instead, I started to describe: “Do you know that psychic whose written a bunch of books…” She responded in a loathing voice, “Sylvia Browne?” She then went on to express her disapproval of Browne. She even added that one of her good friends (or maybe it was her sister-in-law) witnessed Browne’s deceptive preparations before the taping of an episode of The Montel Williams Show, a talk show that frequently features Browne as a guest. She said Browne was backstage with a group of people, and she seemed to be coaching them (although she couldn’t hear what Browne was saying). Later on, when the show began filming, sure enough, the audience members Browne called on were the people she was talking to backstage –they were planted in the audience. In astonishment, I asked “How can she get away with that? Montel Williams has to know what she’s doing.” She said, “I’m sure he does know. They’ve been best friends for years.”

More on Sylvia Browne

Since writing the upper-portion of this article, which I wrote less than 24 hours ago, I’ve continued to uncover more and more instances that are leading me to believe that Sylvia Browne is suspect.

In 1992, Browne, and her estranged husband at the time, were indicted on eight counts of investment fraud and grand theft by the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, California. Browne pleaded no contest to securities fraud. She was sentenced to one year of probation. You can see the original indictment document
