Why do people listen to Sylvia Brown?

Question

She's a fake. She's shown time and time again on the Montell show that she doesn't have any clue what she's talking about. She just told this woman whose daughter was murdered that the killer left a matchbook behind. The mother says she never found one. And then she told this other woman that her mother's name was Margaret, then tried to play it off. Why do people buy into this crap?

Answer 1

People buy into her because they want to have some link to the loved ones they've lost, and some Psychics take advantage of that need. agree. I saw her in person and when she gave false hope to a family whose daughter had been kidnapped, I lost respect for her. The girl was found dead the following week, no where close to where Silvia said she was alive. After watching her repeatedly on Montel, I like you, notice how things she says mean absolutely nothing to the people to whom she's speaking. Most of her answers are "generic" and can apply to anyone or anything.

Answer 2

Yeah, she's one of those phony fake celebrity psychics... Psychic happenings do happen, and are possible for most anyone who is willing to practice, but Sylvia Brown seems really fake.. It's quite amazing when you do meet people who can tell actual facts about your life, more amazing are those who can tell you what you Can do with your life, the best people are those who will help you with your life... Having a psychic mind is very relevant at a certain spiritual point, only when you know how to respond to many situations... Hope this helps, cheers!

Answer 3

Inferior intelllect, highly suggestible. She is such a con-artist, I cannot believe that anyone listens to her crap!

Answer 4

Never heard of her.

Answer 5

Hope and grief, I think.
