The Untold Truth Of Sylvia Browne

June 2024 · 2 minute read

Sylvia Browne did a ton of personal readings and predictions, so it's impossible to fact-check her completely. But when it comes to her public predictions, well, Skeptical Inquirer says it's pretty impressive just how wrong she was. Constantly.

In 2010, researchers compiled all the public predictions Browne made regarding criminal cases. It amounted to 115 deaths and missing persons, and she was "mostly correct" in the outcomes of exactly 0 cases. Browne tended to give "details" on things like the appearance of perpetrators, locations of bodies, and whether or not missing children were still alive, and she's been found to have been wrong so many times that flipping a coin may have been more accurate.

Browne was wrong about a lot of other things, too. According to the HuffPost, she explained away her wrong predictions by saying — repeatedly — "Only God is right all the time," but her critics say she's not even right some of the time. She made predictions for each upcoming year, so let's check 2012 with help from MLive. In addition to vague things like "more earthquakes and natural disasters," she also predicted a cure for multiple sclerosis, and that President Barack Obama wouldn't win re-election.

On a side note here, her beliefs on just how these things came to fruition were fascinating. For example, in regards to the cure, she claimed her spirit guide, Francine, confirmed it was being researched by divine teams working around-the-clock up in heaven.
