Slyvia Browne a FAKE

Wait, this is not my experiance. I got it off a website; www.stopslyvia.org or .com

After our taping, we gathered for coffee and discussed our feelings on what we had just seen. This is where it gets interesting. We all agreed it was a bunch of hogwash, so we decided to do a little experiment. Having been in the talk-show business for some time, we had connections to score some audience tickets the next time Sylvia was taping. Furthermore we got on the list of audience members to ask questions (a process, at the time, was nearly impossible to do, as everyone had a question), and eagerly waited for Montel to call on me, who had been designated the speaker of the group.

Sylvia didn't disappoint.

My question was simple. I had a roommate who worked in the World Trade Center on 9/11. I just want to know if they crossed over.

Sylvia's first resonse was one of condolence, which should have been heartwarming. She then proceeded to tell me that yes, he had in fact crossed over and he went very quickly, as the initial impact of the plane killed him instantly.

I felt satisfied.

Not one thing she told me was accurate. Indeed, I DID have a roommate who worked at the World Trade Center on 9/11, but SHE was out of town on business, HER office was below the impact zone, and furthermore SHE was sitting right next to me during the entire taping, alive and well. So, very tastefully, I said, "That's not true," to which she responded, "I know it's hard, honey."

"No. It's not true. My roommate is right here." As I pointed to her, all I got was a blank stare. Then they moved on to the next segment.

Ten minutes later, I was approached by a crewperson wearing a set of earphones who asked me to come with her. As we left the studio, another gentleman curtly asked me to leave the premesis, or the police would be called. When I asked what the problem was, I was simply told that I disrupted a taping, the show filmed on a tight schedule and I was no longer required to be in the audience. So, I left. Five minutes after I had been ejected, my roommate (the very alive-and-well roommate) was kicked out as well.

The taping went on as sceduled, with two alleged crew members taking our seats. My friends and roommates who weren't kicked out were told the date the show would air and we eagerly awaited the day. As we watched, not only were my comments omitted from the show, but every scan of the audience during a question or before a commercial break omitted the section in which we were sitting. Go figure.

I never really thought much about it until today. Obviously the show and/or Sylvia Browne expressed concern about her validity when they opted NOT to show my footage. But I just forgot about it and assumed she was nothing more than a ratings gimmick. When I came across your site and started investigating, I was aghast. I feel so much sympathy for these poor, unsuspecting persons who actually believe she is the real deal and have serious concerns about loved ones. My heart goes out to all of them.

In closing, I would like to thank you for your time. I hope my story can be helpful to you and your readers. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
