I remember her years ago on Montel..She was amazing....She was one of the few that I believe had a special gift. She did get Amanda Berry wrong but nobody is right 100%....May she RIP

WOW..AFTER READING SEVERAL SITES ABOUT ALL HER WRONG PREDICTIONS AND INFO..I NOW WONDER IF I WAS SUCKERED TOO..

In her early years she was very good. But as she got older the gift was not as good. I saw several pod casts where her son Chris how to say it" made it right". She freely stated she was not 100% and got things wrong. Something a lot of others do not do. Now she stated many times that her grandaughter Angelina was super pyschic but I have never read any where that she has made any predictions. She has died and all those posting the negative need to think of if it was their family would they want that going on. I hold with show respect for the passing. Speaking of all the wrongs does nothing good. She did give people hope and eased the minds of many that were dying that maybe something continued after death.

She also told Shawn Hornbeck's parents that he was dead. The pain of this had to have been just brutal for them and every single other person who was given bad information. Truth is she also predicted she would live to age 88 and she died at 77. I have family members that are able to tell when something good or bad will happen. I am very glad I do not have this nor pretend to have this. I do not consider what she did as healing at all.

I used to watch her on the Montel Show but then I also lost any faith in Montel when he started his ads scamming poor people out of money with his "payday loans".

Still waiting on this one: "Aliens will begin to show themselves in the year 2010, they will not harm us, they simply want to see what we are doing to this planet. They will teach us how to use anti-gravity devices again, such as they did for the pyramids."

I have followed her for many years as I have others and none of them have a great track record. Sylvia had huge amounts of people that hung on her every word. Sorta like Oprah(never liked her since she first appeared on TV) . People look for any hope they can latch onto when horrible events happen in their lives. I did go to one of Sylvias lectures but I did not go to see her. It was the other guy I truly wanted to hear. I have his one book signed. He came closer than anyone else to be the real deal. But he made his living as a barber not as a fortune teller. And never charged anyone for a session. And I have not heard a single thing since then. Some times I think I spend to much time watching the "metaphysical/conspiracy/spiritual" after all the whole Hillary Clinton is Obamas Mother thing should have ended it. (That is a conspiracy one that had me laughing) One last thing before my husband was told he had cancer I was watching him as he slept. i had the thought I was watching him die. We all have our answers just sometimes we do not like them.

Harley, I know that every single day since 2008 when my mother died, I have wanted one last conversation so I know what you must feel but yours at a much more intimate level. However I know my mother would tell me that she loved me, to stay the strong woman I am and to quit fighting with all my brothers over all those insignificant things we always do. I do not understand why anyone seeks out "mediums" because whether they are like John Edwards who seems to be pretty close, or like others that say vague things like "there is someone here that gave you something once" (a ring? a smile? an STD?) but really other than the winning lottery numbers or the location of the "real" will - what difference does it make to our lives here on this plane to hear from the other side? I guess I have just seen too many stories about those who have lost thousands of dollars on some scam like Miss Cleo.

i totally agree---the woman is dead so we should show respect---i certainly hope other don't speak of me or you as some of you are talking about her.

Bottom line be careful of who you believe and place faith in. lots of people make huge sums of money preying on people that have suffered horrific events in their lives. Many prey on the fears people have. i have had a tough year but so have many others. But in this year I learned I had a support system of friends and family that I never knew existed. And I also learned that many people have no one to stand by them in their time of need. i met many of those people and the Social worker from the Hospice center told me part of his job was to help those people facing death and had no one to be there for them. So while my year was hard it was harder for others. I could spend the rest of my life wondering why me but life goes on. i choose to think of this as a chance for me to figure out who I am. i was married at 17 I had never lived alone. i spent 42 years being a wife mother and grandmother. Now I have to be me but I need to figure out who I am. And that is going to be a adventure I do not need a medium to tell me anything the fun is in the finding out. And I need some fun and along the way I hope to share some fun with all of you. After all harley finding out who she there has got to be some good stuff in that

I went to a Qualcomm Xmas Party with a neighbor who works there and part of the entertainment was 2 psychics. One of the things I was told was "you live near water"!!!!!! We all lived near water and the party was on Coronado Island! "You have stress". Sheesh - list people who do not have stress. "You will be going forward in your career in the very near future". I arrived in a wheelchair days away from rotator cuff surgery and an achilles tear. I told her she should investigate lasik. Or maybe they meant my wheelchair was going forward in its career. I lasted 3 more months before given permanent Disability Leave but the wheelchair is still going forward.

And I do not care what others say about me dead or alive. Just not who I am or will be.
