She claims shes psychic..

Ive read a couple of her books and have seen her on Montel but Im just not buying it... Their are times where I believe she could be for real but other times where she is off on stuff...

I'm not into psychics at all, but Montel's legit. He likes her. I really question it, yet I doubt everyone in the audience is staged. She was just on Northwest Afternoon, a seattle based talk show, yesterday. I've been to her website before and some of the stuff is outta limits, but she seems to be right on with people's personal questions.

EDITED: I don't know what I was thinking when I said she may have been hired by the FBI in the past. I know she used to be hired to help with cases, but I don't think it was the FBI.

I've read a few of her books and found them interesting. If I met her and she could tell me a few things about myself she had no way of knowing, of course I would believe she is authentic. As for now, I will not say she is a fraud unless proven.

So you think that those people in the audiences are hired? She used to go on Montel once a week. That would be one big conspiracy! But like you, I am hesitant to believe it myself.

I keep missing her on those talk shows. I would like to see her on one of those. I don't think the people in the audience are hired. If so, it would leak out to the public sooner or later and Sylvia's reputation would be severely damaged.

BTW, I also like the books by Mary T. Browne and Betty J. Eadie.

So true. I was going to mention that as well. She's been on Montel for quite a while now, and if there was some shady business going on, we would have known about it. Even saying "hired" was a little strong. But I do think they pick random people out of the audience to ask a question that Sylvia had no prior knowledge about. You should see her on Montel sometime. I don't think she is on their weekly anymore, but I believe she still is a guest occationally. It's pretty interesting!

I don't really tend to believe in psychics...so she doesn't seem legit to me.

Same here, no psychics are legit to me, I wouldn't be suprised if the audience in those talk shows are hired or they told the psychic there story before the show begins.

Yeah, thats probably true. I have saw her on Montel, and they make her seem really believable, but I just don't believe that people can know things like that!

On a past episode of Montel during the past presidential elections, Montel asked Sylvia who would win the election. She said Gore. Draw your own conclusions.

I don't know if she's a fraud or not, other than that incident, I don't know of any other time she's been wrong.

She said in 2000 Letterman would call it quits... of course now I believe her 2000 predictions are not on her site, use the wayback machine though to go back and see em...

From what I've seen, psychics can sometimes tell individuals things they couldn't know, but as for predictions about world events, they don't do well at all.
