Today’s Irresponsible Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
Sylvia Browne (1936-2013) was a self-proclaimed psychic who was a fixture on daytime talk shows for years. She had a devoted following but also many critics who challenged the validity of her claims and accused her of exploiting other people’s misfortunes to line her own pockets. In 2004, Browne appeared on the Montel Williams Show along with Louwana Miller, whose teenage daughter had disappeared the year before. Browne went into her routine and informed Miller that her daughter was dead and that her body was “in water.” Miller was devastated by this revelation. She felt that it was true and so gave her daughter’s belongings away and took down her pictures. She died of heart failure in 2006, still grieving for her dead child. Had she lived another seven years, she would have seen her daughter, Amanda Berry, escape from the Cleveland home of a man who had kidnapped her and two other women, holding them captive for a decade. And Amanda would not have had to be told that her mother had gone to her grave believing she was dead.

Browne quite rightly came in for a great deal of criticism when her prediction turned out to be so completely wrong; it just goes to show that words can indeed hurt you. – Aimee
