Psychic fraud dies at 77.

Con artist Sylvia Browne has died if you didn't already know.

This story from CNN.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/20/showbiz/sylvia-browne-dies/index.htm

A bit of irony is that she died 11 years before her own predicted death. She once made the claim she would die at the age of 88.

She was a fraud, like all

She was a fraud, like all other "psychics".

And she got away with it.

Her most recent of many failures came with the release of Ariel Castro's victims, whom he had kept imprisoned in his house for 10 years. She had told the mother of one missing girl that she was dead.

A fraud who profited off the desperate and suffering. And she got away with it. At least Randi outlasted her.

There are no theists on operating tables.

That is the one that pisses me off the most, but that is probably the tip of her conburg.

I'd say that's a pretty big irony! You got a link saying she would die at 88?

She was also wrong about Sean Hornbeck who was missing for years. She told his parents he was dead but he had been kidnapped by Mike Devlin. I bet on her deathbed she was thinking "this afterlife is all bullshit!".

No, but I have seen that clip on the news a few times. Shouldn't be too hard to find. It has been all over social media.

I was thinking that it was funny how they kept her "sickness" all quiet from the media. Then again, she wasn't any one important and no one really was pursuing her to break a new story. I'm just surprised TMZ didn't pick up on this weeks before she died.
