Sylvia Browne

Angels

• "You know, bad people, I've never seen bad people have angels. That's interesting you should ask that, because I've never seen angels around bad people."

Ghosts

• "A ghost, Larry, 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."

James Randi challenge

In an exchange with James Randi on Larry King Live September 3, 2001 referring to the $1 million dollars offered to Sylvia to test her psychic ability.

• "Well, I don't even want his million dollars. I don't want his million dollars. I mean, the reason I came on is because he kept you know, my web site, yeah, yeah, and said I would never come on and face him. But I don't care about his million dollars. I mean, I don't need his million."

Sago Mine comments

Referring to the Sago Mine disaster live on January 3, 2006, on the U.S. radio program Coast to Coast AM with George Noory

• Noory: Of course, this is after the fact, with the 12 or 13 coal miners they found successfully.
• Browne: I know.
• Noory: Had you been on the program today, and had they not been found, would you have felt as if, because they had heard no sounds, that this was a very gloomy moment, and they might have all died?
• Browne: No, I knew they were going to be found. Uh, you know, I hate people who say something after the fact. It's just like I knew when the Pope was dead and I said it on, thank God I was on Montel's show, and I said, according to the time, it was 9-something and whatever Rome time was, and I said he's gone, and he was.

Quotes about Browne

• "Let's look back to just one particularly cruel hoax perpetrated by this woman Browne. Years ago on Montel Williams' show, she spoke to the grandmother of a local missing child, a six-year-old named Opal Jo Jennings who disappeared from her home in north Texas in March of 1999. Browne told the distraught woman that the child was still alive but had been sold into white slavery and was currently being held in Japan. She even gave a city name, but there is no such city in Japan. Moving ahead three years and nine months, we find that the body of little Opal was recovered — just seven weeks ago; she had been killed by a blow to the head. Currently, there is a man in prison in Texas who has confessed to, and been convicted of, Opal Jo's abduction and murder."
  • By James Randi, March 5, 2004 http://www.randi.org/jr/030504newsweek.html#10 see: Sylvia Browne is a liar.

• "It's difficult to get involved with her, I try to get her out of my mind as much as possible, but the evil that she spews out there, and the damage she does to people - unsuspecting people that are in crisis situations - is just atrocious."
