Psychic Sylvia Brown as Seen on The Montel Williams Show

People claiming to be psychics, mediums, ghost hunters, witches and such have been around since the beginning of time. Over the decades though, their acceptance has become more and more common. In today’s day in age more than ever before the "freaks" and "frauds" are falling from the woodwork and today more than ever it is accepted as "almost normal". A lot of people, but especially I, have always been skeptical and quick to call people claiming to be mediums or psychics scam artists. Until recently that is.


A few years back my mother wouldn’t shut up about this psychic woman known as Sylvia Brown. She was often showcased on the Montel Williams show and was said to predict the future of the world, of people, could speak with the dead, and could tell people where their missing loved ones were and what had happened. My mother proceeded to tell me that if I had ever turned up missing or something had happened to me she would call this woman for help in a heartbeat. All I could think was "Oh lord, save me" because if my mother were counting on a psychic in the hopes of saving my life I knew there could be no hope for me. I of course had to check it out, but not because I believed. I tuned in so that I could point out all of the alleged psychic’s faults to my mother and disprove her, but what I got instead was a rude awakening.
