Famous TV Psychic Makes Miner Mistake

Browne: "No. I knew they were going to be found. I hate people that say something after the fact. It’s just like I knew when the pope was dead. Thank God I was on Montel’s show. I said, according to the time, it was 9-something and whatever Rome time was. And I said he was gone, and he was."

Noory soon announced that there were new reports that all but one of the miners was dead.

Browne — who was still in the studio taking questions from listeners — had to say something. Now she was just riffing: "I don’t think there’s anybody alive, maybe one. How crazy for them to report that they were alive when they weren’t!" Then she added: "I just don’t think they are alive." She cleared her throat, and there was a deafening pause.

Sylvia has also agreed to be tested by the James Randi organization to prove her psychic abilities. Here's the video of that right here.
There's also the clock on his main page showing that it's been now 222 weeks since she's agreed to do it.

LOL...well, she wasn't COMPLETELY wrong with her 2005 "predictions"....but the ones she did get right should have been obvious to EVERYONE!!! (i.e. Britney Spears having a baby, Brad and Jen splitting up....)

I heard her get the miner thing wrong. The charlatan host didn't even question her on it. She is such a fraud!

I used to watch her many years ago on talk shows and she was quite convincing in her double speak and in 'comforting' members of the audience.
Like others of her ilk, they begin to believe their own hype and really go off the deep end, getting more outlandish, backpedalling like crazy and, if you can imagine the visual, trying to dig themselves out of their self-created hole with a few shovels going at once and nothing positive happening.
People can predict the not-so-distant future pretty well if they have good knowledge of science and current events-she has neither.
Ms. Browne has become a bad parody of herself and isn't doing anyone a service by continuing her 'act'. Sometimes we know when to shut the lights and go home....someone wanna tell her it's time?
