Sylvia Browne.
It's a name which causes strong reactions in a lot of people.
To her fans, who believe that she is a "true psychic medium," she is a down-to-earth, spiritually deep woman who, with the help of her "spirit guide" Francine, can see the future, diagnose illnesses, find lost children, and communicate with the dead.
To skeptics, who believe that she has not proven any of her purported abilities, she is almost certainly a fraud, using stage tricks such as "cold reading" to simulate psychic abilities, preying on the grieving, the ill, and the spiritually needy.
Who is right?
For some reason, the name Sylvia Browne (I'm sure you recognize the name) came into my head earlier, and I know almost nothing about her, so I Googled her name. You won't be surprised to read that her website, sylviabrowne.com, was at the top of the results, but a site called "Stop Sylvia Browne" was right below it. I don't know why this guy wants to stop Sylvia Browne (or what he wants to stop her from doing), but he sure seems to have put a lot of time and effort into this site. What do you think? About either him or her?
