Psychic Who Said Amanda Berry Was Dead Silent After Berry Is Found Alive
http://gma.yahoo.com ^ | may 7, 2013 | COLLEEN CURRY

A year after Amanda Berry disappeared in Cleveland, her mother appeared on "The Montel Williams Show" to speak to a psychic about what happened to her daughter.

Psychic Sylvia Browne, who has made a career of televised psychic readings, told Louwanna Miller on a 2004 episode of the show that her daughter was dead, causing Miller to break down in tears on the show's set.

"She's not alive, honey," Browne told Miller on the show, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper. "Your daughter's not the kind who wouldn't call."

Miller told the newspaper that she believed "98 percent" in what Browne told her. Miller died a year later from heart failure.

On Monday, Berry was found alive after she broke free from a home in Cleveland where she says she has been kept for the past decade.

Browne did not return phone calls seeking comment today by ABC News. The Montel Williams show, through syndicator CBS, also did not return calls for comment. The show no longer airs new episodes.

It's not the first time that Browne, and other psychics, have come under fire for their involvement in law enforcement cases.

In 2003, Browne incorrectly told the parents of missing teen Shawn Hornbeck that their son was dead, and his body could be found somewhere near "two jagged boulders," according to her premonition.

Nearly four years later, Hornbeck was found alive, and Browne was widely criticized in the media for causing the Hornbecks additional grief.

A website called "Stop Sylvia Browne," dedicated to cataloguing Browne's purported failures at prediction, sprang up in 2006.

Ms. Browne should be thankful that she does not live in Old Testament Israel. The penalty for false prophecy was death by stoning

They killed the real prophets too.

We had a physic here in Illinois who predicted that a missing woman would be found where a 4WD vehicle could travel. Sure enough, she had run off to Texas and you certainly can drive to Texas in a 4WD vehicle.

I think I read about someone doing that and guaranteeing results for things like football games.

They made a pretty penny.

Certainly agree with you that any real ones certainly do not have their gift from God.

There are some cases that are honestly pretty strange. There are real psychics I think. But, they aren’t on TV or at your county fair.

I agree, I think there are real psychics. Or call them very intuitive people.

But no matter what you call them, they are not doing TV shows or giving radio interviews or having long book signing tours.

Look at Cayce. A farmboy who, AFAIK, could not even read or spell.
But there are thousands of cases where he diagnosed people, most times without even seeing or touching or meeting them.

Maybe it wasn’t Cayce himself. Maybe it was some kind of warp in space or time or intelligence or sensitivity. But it was unexplainable in terms of what they knew then, or even what we know now.

I’m not sure what they are trying to say, that this guy wanted to enter the challenge/contest and was rebuffed or something?

"Certainly agree with you that any real ones certainly do not have their gift from God."

There is a gift of prophecy, but that comes directly from God. Not sure how much that is doled out. There is a scripture that says strongly implies the gift of prophecy would pass away. Though I don't think there are any major prophets and won't be until the two prophets of Revelations.

I do think that people can have premonitions. There may be a sense they we don't understand well, that is natural.

But we are warned against seeking out the future from any but God.
