Sylvia Browne

Sylvia Celeste Browne (née Shoemaker; October 19, 1936 – November 20, 2013) was an American author who claimed to be a medium and to have psychic abilities. She appeared regularly on television and radio, including on The Montel Williams Show and Larry King Live TV shows and hosted an hour-long Internet radio show on Hay House Radio. She was the subject of frequent criticism for making what she claimed were psychic predictions that were later proven false, including predictions related to missing persons such as Shawn Hornbeck and Amanda Berry.

Early life

Browne grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, the daughter of Celeste (née Coil) and William Lee Shoemaker. Her father held several different jobs, working at times in mail delivery, in jewelry sales, and as a vice president of a major freight line. Browne was raised mostly as a Catholic, and was said to have Jewish, Episcopalian, and Lutheran relatives.

Browne claimed she started seeing visions at the age of five, and that her grandmother, a psychic medium, helped her understand what they meant. Browne also claimed her great-uncle was a psychic medium and was "rabid about UFOs".

Famous quotes by Sylvia Browne:

"The more painful it is, tragically, the more you do learn, though, that's the good part."

"Let me assure you that all of our pets, and animals of every kind will be with us for eternity on the Other Side."

"Animal totems, like the tiger, come from the Other Side to protect us while we are away from Home."

"The weeds keep multiplying in our garden, which is our mind ruled by fear. Rip them out and call them by name."

"I was born this way, and I don't know how I do it. I can do it from a piece of paper. I can do it from a letter. I can do it from a phone. I don't know how I don't... It just comes in. It just comes in. I don't know how to explain it to you. It just comes in."

"[But not only are our pets waiting,] animals of every kind live on the Other Side, ... you are not crazy if you feel the spirit of your cat rubbing against your legs, hear the sound of your dog's toenails clicking on the wood floor, or hear the familiar song your bird used to sing. Our pets do come back to visit us."

"A ghost is someone who hasn't made it - in other words, who died, and they don't know they're dead. So they keep walking around and thinking that you're inhabiting their - let's say, their domain. So they're aggravated with you."

"A spirit is, like, your mother, my dad, who've made it. They can come around, but they come around in a loving way because they've already made it to God. Most people make it."

"If you are an animal lover like me, the loss of a pet is as devastating as the loss of a person. Let me tell you, without a shadow of a doubt, our pets will be waiting for us on the Other Side."

"It's abundantly clear that we already have extraterrestrials living among us, and people are stepping forward who can communicate with them."

"I don't like tofu. I'd sooner eat a sponge."
