Sylvia Browne is just one of many examples why most psychics are nothing but charlatans. Perhaps many are self-deluded individuals with good intentions but what most of them do in selling false hopes, closure, etc is truly criminal.
Amanda Berry is very much alive. So much for the “spirits”, huh?
When it comes to Browne, if its a day that ends in “y”, you can pretty much bet she is wrong. Actually that goes for any psychic. There simply is no evidence for their “powers”.
For more on this…
This is not the first time either.
