It's interesting that you mention this, because just yesterday I read an article about how psychic/medium/whatever Sylvia Browne told the mother of one of the 3 women kidnapped (and recently found in Cleveland, Ohio after 10 years) that her daughter was dead and she wouldn't see her again until the "afterlife". This young woman's mom died believing her daughter was dead...and she was found just a day or so ago.
Sylvia Browne also told the parents of another missing child (Shawn Hornbeck) that he was dead too. As it turned out, Shawn was found alive four years after being kidnapped, living with his captor.
Both of these "predictions" or whatever were shared on national TV talk shows.
My sister and I saw Sylvia Browne in person about 1.5 years ago. It was interesting to hear what she had to say to me and others in the audience, but nothing earth-shattering. It appears she doesn't have a very good track record. Apparently she is a "consultant" to the FBI, so our tax dollars are being put to good use.
My point? Tread carefully.
