Sylvia Browne the famous American psychic didn't see trouble coming her way. On the TV in 2004 she told of the death of Amanda Berry who was abducted in 2003 just before her 17th birthday.
She told Berry's mother, Louwana Miller that her daughter was "in heaven and on the other side" and that her last words were "goodbye, mom, I love you". Miller died of heart failure in 2006.
More than 10 years later Berry was escaping from a house in Cleveland where she had been imprisoned..... What is harder, knowing yer child is dead or not knowing anything?
In 1999. A six-year-old, Opal Jo Jennings was snatched from her grandparents' front yard in Texas.
Sylvia told the grandmother, "She's not dead. But what bothers me - now I've never heard
of this before - but she was taken and put into some kind of a slavery
thing and taken into Japan."
Opal's body was found buried in Fort Worth, Texas and a man was arrested for it. The pathologist concluded, been murdered the night she went missing.... Thinking that the child was in some torment was terrible for the family.
Shawn Hornbeck went missing on October 6th 2002. The 11-year-old disappeared while riding his bike to a friend's house in Missouri.
Sylvia told his mother that he was dead and buried beneath two jagged boulders.
Shawn was found alive four years later living with his abductor.... That case should have broke Sylvia but she just shrugged and said, "only God was 100% right" and her followers kept buying her books because they still believed and hoped she had all the answers.
Do I believe that Sylvia is a physic? no I don't. I believe she is a people reader and good guesser... maybe a sensitive. Something is wrong with her that she says such outrageous things that mess with people in an already difficult situation..... it bothers Old Knudsen.
Any psychic abilities or knowledge are gifts from the gods and should be treated as such not forced to come out or just made up as people believe this shit and believe in people like her.
Old Knudsen himself has moments of knowledge that could not come from anywhere but the gods but doesn't go around thinking hes got the inside scoop to all.
A man whose daughter Polly Klaas was abducted and killed in 1993 calls these psychics the second wave of predators as they often harass the victim's family for money for information about their missing children often sending police and family in the wrong direction.
Sylvia has done this job for so long now because .... Americans are gullible, almost as bad as the British who still think aromatherapy works.
During her shows she'll shout down anyone who says she is wrong about her facts by saying, "I'm the psychic I am the one that knows!"
You really don't want to tell a big star in from of millions that you never had an uncle Bob who now haunts yer dishwasher?
