Instead of working on finding missing children, she should've concentrated on finding her missing morals.
She would have failed at that, too.
👍👏👏👏👏👏🎯
it's hard to find something that was never there to begin with.
Haha 🤣
"My crystal ball is hazy... I cannot see any morals."
my problem was always why montel williams never got called out for the bull he helped spew
Larry king n oprah also give her platforms.
I have always felt the same way...
@@dc56789 The weed woke him up tho. Hes ex military and was a dick about drugs and now hes a better person.
Montell Williams was an arrogant dummy
@@dc56789 who care if he smokes marijuana
I love how much you LAID into this woman and how horrible her actions were. It was devastating. Great job.
She was a master at coming up with a story about the missing person at the drop of a hat.
"Nonsense is a volume business." Brilliant!
I'll never forget the episode of Montel where Sylvia tells a woman who's boyfriend was missing that they never found his body because he's in water, and the confused lady responded that he died on 9/11...
I remember!! And then Montel jumps in and tries to save her by suggesting she might be seeing him "in water" because of all the firehoses at ground zero.
I actually REMEMBER that, it was so cringey and embarrassing, and shocking how they handled it like just brushed it off and montell was like well maybe there was water in there somewhere or some shit like that I don't remember exactly what he said but it was just like DUDE!! NOOOOO 🤣😵😵🤦🏽♀️
She had a habit of telling people that their missing loved ones that they were "in water".
I lost count of how many times she said this and wasn't called out on it
*cringe*
@@edithmr21o Yup
As a Cleveland native, it hit especially hard in retrospect, when those girls were found. Amanda Berry's mom deserved more than a "psychic". And Montel should have known better.
Amanda’s mom got screwed over, Sylvia did her wrong big time, and Amanda had to watch it,
I remember that, like it just happened
What's worse is it sounds like he did know better. I really feel badly for the mother that died thinking her daughter was dead.
That was terrible her poor mom heard this before she died
@@catlover2652 ok wait a minute....us Amanda the one one on Montel she told her mother that she was dead?
You gotta love his dry sense of humor. Another great video. Thanks Dr.
I remember I spent $40.00 to ask her a question. She replied in only one sentence. She was wrong. I knew then she was a fake. Shame on Montel for asking her on his show to try and improve ratings. All she did was give false hope and hurt others in what she told them.
If you were gullible enough to believe in psychics in the first place then you only have yourself to blame.
I noticed how she would become curt and dismissive of people she automatically did not take a liking to. She seemed to have a capricious nature. One minute, charming and engaging, and the next minute cold and seemingly disturbed by an audience member or the crowd.
I can't imagine the Heartache she caused so many people!
Yeah, that’s sick and cruel! She should be in jail if she’s not dead yet.
A LOT. And Montel helped!
I agree, especially those parents who died not knowing their child was alive, the efforts they could have put forth had she Silvia not told them bunch of made up rubbish.
So cruel. False hope, none of her b.s. was even slightly true. Another reason I can't stand the Long Island Medium. Taking advantage of heartbroken, vulnerable people. Doesn't get much worse than that.
And she became rich and famous in the process.
It's a shame no one ever held her accountable
Well adults had the choice to believe what she said or not. To want to hear it or not. So really you'd have to blame both the seeker of knowledge and the translator if you were going to go into accountability.
@@danielgouge4639 No. You can’t fault the people that went through uncertainty of losing loved ones looking for help any way they could. You’re victim blaming the most unfortunate of victims.
@Siobhan Fogarty Sure, I’m not gonna blame any of her victims over it though. The fault lies with her being wretched.
t b:
I agree with you.
She has passed from this life, so she is definitely being held accountable for the lies she told.
When a person is vulnerable, going to a grieving time... they are so easy to be scam.
“This career choice is often underrepresented at high school career days” please 😭😭😭😂
She was awful. And all those talk show hosts should be ashamed for giving her a platform. Thanks for covering this!
Here here.
There is a long long list of things trashy talk shows should be shamed for. I watched them out of boredom for entertainment. The Jenny Jones murder was a wake up call that's its not just harmless entertainment.
To have a successful talk show you have popular people others are talking about. It’s literally a talk shows bread and butter .
You should not say that it’s not nice.
Medium’s & psychic’s aren’t perfect!
If she was a 'real' psychic, one would think she'd be able to choose a husband accurately...Thanks for the video!
Or that she would know that s?he would be found out 😉
I’m no psychic but I suspect the husband wasn’t the problem
When it comes to the D her psychic powers don’t work it’s like Kryptonite lol.
Well said!
Maybe she WAS a real psychic, except every vision she had was guaranteed not to happen.
I love your dry humor and sarcasm that you interject into your clips.
I Remember this lady was always on tv when I was a kid.
I love Dr. Grande! Him telling jokes with a straight face is the best thing ever XD
I love the humour aspect of his videos, as well as the information.
The art of deadpan humor.
I know.. he's funny. He's not trying to be funny & he's hilarious 😂🤣😆😭💀
Oh so true. Ha...
One of my favourite things about him as well! Keep it up!!!!
I already know this one is going to be hilarious! Thanks Dr.!
whoa, I followed your instructions on coping w an angle grinder
@@lauralaforge558 💪 ladies and power tools, bad ass! 👊
t b We like to follow directions lol. Would you like to give fifty dolla to my gfm to get a saw stop lol?
Ha! Didn’t expect to see you here, was about to watch your video after this one
Yep. The thought of missing children always makes me laugh. Jesus
She taunted parents of dead and missing kids to get rich. Amanda Berry's mother completely fell apart thinking her daughter was dead, it's absolutely heartbreaking that woman was promoted to vulnerable victims by celebrities.
I actually had dealt with several psychics who were incredibly helpful to me, one even literally saved my life. It is just unfortunate that the ones like Ms. Brown give all of 'em a bad name.
Agreed.
No they're all fake she didn't give them a bad name they all give each other a bad name you can believe in what you want but this s***'s fake as hell the sad part is that most of the time they just take advantage of what other people are going through in hard times and s*** like that
@@Christopher-cm6he I agree many of them are scammers targeting vulnerable people for their money but this one really was helpful to me. He was there for me where no one else was and he didn't charge me a cent for his services. Without him I literally wouldn't be here. There are some who do have special gifts and genuinely do care, they are just a gem in the rough to find. It's up to people to do whatever they want though, I am not by any means trying to pressure anyone to turn to psychics for help if it makes them uncomfortable.
@@dawrong1615 placebo effect does wonders. As long as your not being taken advantage of, then acceptance of psychic help is objectively not awful. It can ease those who lost their loved ones, as long as people like Brown aren’t the people doing it.
@@Christopher-cm6hepeople hate or fear what they dont understand or have little to no knowledge of bc theyve never experienced it. Some ppl have the gift & some dont.
Amanda Berry was actually watching Sylvia Browne on tv telling her mother that Amanda was dead, while she was in captivity. It literally broke her heart to watch her mom lose hope.
Pure fucking evil. Nobody could ever deserve to go through the pain that Amanda Barry went through
What the fuck.... OMG
@@fart63 Sylvia should be in jail
She was Right about 2 things Her captor in Complete detail. & her mom will see her again on the other side ( Amanda was dead to her mom meaning ) go back & watch it.
@@neshz3730so it was alright to make up bs to the mother and tell her that she was dead??
Just knowing that Sylvia went through 4 marriages, should have clue the world that she was no psychic.
absolutely. it makes me sad these "mediums" because psychic abilities are nothing like this. psychic understanding is simply a heightened mental and spirital connection to everyone and everything around. It is difficult to explain, but it NEVER comes to any true psychic as a cold hard facts or directions. It is like an intuition, a puzzle, symbols, or a feeling... and you are right a true psychic would likely have good intuition into their own relationships.
Hahaha, well put!
My first thought
No need to judge
That's about the norm for Hollywood.
A woman from my small town was missing for years, she left a new baby and the family knew she would never willingly do that. They went to montles show to ask sylvia what happened to her. She said she saw her dead in near or in a silo, which could have been on any local farm. Instead she was found in the next town over in the river in the trunk of her car,where she was the entire time she was missing
Did they solve her murder?
OMG! You analyzed Sylvia! Thank you! I discovered her when a friend of mine died and I was wondering where he went. I saw her in an auditorium and she even signed a book I bought. The person in front of me asked her, *Is he guilty?' She nodded. I have no idea who she was talking about. God only knows how much damage she caused by nodding her head. I lost track of Sylvia. Something was 'off' about her. She had issues - I could pick up that much from HER.
I remember paying her 100 dollars for 15 minutes and everything she told me never happened. When I called her office I was told by her angry gatekeeper, "well, she isn't God!" I was young then and naive. Lesson learned.
Wow that's says it all, thank you!!!
Love that they said: "well, she isn't God!" when she literally founded her own religion, and claimed to hear/talk to angels. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ I'm sorry she ripped you off, and that you were treated so rudely by one of her minions.
@@kaseybrewer545 Thank you.
Crazy coincidence: I more believed her than not due to the Montel Williams show. I went to one of her conferences in the Midwest. At the time I worked in healthcare. This elderly, chic lady asked SB about the cause of her husband's death. Silvia said the MDs were wrong and he died of such and such. It seemed rather familiar to me.... Lo and behold, the lady and her daughter were standing inline behind me while complaining about SB's response. For the ONLY TIME IN MY LIFE, I asked was your husband at XYZ hospital? Yep. I put together that I had legitimately read her husband's chart for my job. His death was an unique situation therefore, it stuck out. I explained to this lady what I did so she would know that what I said was true. She was so grateful to me and thanked me so much. It was then that I realized what a fraud SB was!! SB told the woman to dig up her husband's grave, get another MD's opinion, blah, blah. Can you imagine?? Yet it is Amanda Berry's mother that still haunts me.
Even her own people know that only God knows the future. Shame you couldn’t have gotten that on record!
Married 4 times? How the hell she didn't know it wasn't going to work out?
🤣😂😅
😂😜🤪 4 very courageous men anyway 😎
You'd be amazed how many people out there never learn anything.
Just maybe she did know and was only in them for the money.
Maybe it worked out for her they might have been richer than she was.
I loved her back in the day, devoured her books. Believed her %100.
🙄 then I was saved. Thanks be. It's an uphill journey, wisdom
Look up mentalism and cold readings for more insights into how psychic con artists deceive people. It seems other worldly, but isn't whatsoever.
I was a witch/new ager and saved from witchcraft 🥰 accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior
I actually remember watching her on the Motell show. There was a woman who stood up and was in tears asking if she could look into what happened to her kid ( can't remember the gender sorry) The look on that woman's face was" Oh no, not another one of these sad " can you please help find my little boy" people " The whole eye roll and looking not interested. So she didn't let her finish and said he or she died. She also went on to saying either he/ she drowned or got caught on fire and the woman stood there shocked? And said something along the lines of " ... but he knew how to swim? Idk.. please forgive me it's been awhile. If I can find that particular clip I will share it. You could tell the woman caught her lying and that face went from being uninterested to " Oh crap i got found out". Woman"s just pure evil. Lost respect for her at a young age. Before that i looked up to her. Glad videos like this are out.
Interesting comment, but you use quotation marks in the strangest way. Not at all trying to be mean, but you put the quotation mark like “Oh no, not another one of these sad…” and so on. You also didn’t need to put a bunch there, there should only be one at the “Oh no… (and then put the last one at the) people.“
It makes it really hard to understand your comment without that.
Pretty sure other people got what I meant. Plus I don't write comments often so there. Thanks for being a jerk dude --__--
I reread my comment and * faceplam* ur right. Oml. I'm sorry I just woke up and read this message and felt attacked. All those are typos. And I don't want to edit bc it's 2 years old. If anyone read this comment in the future the original comment has typos that I didn't check. I dont proofread my stuff, I gotta work on that lol. I'm sorry again. And have a nice day.
I remember seeing her on some of these shows when I was younger. She always seemed so bored and kind of annoyed to be there. I never understood why they kept bringing her on.
She always looked miserable too. I also remember thinking she was incredibly rude
It gets tiring making stuff up
Exactly!
Sylvia drew the crowds. Even if she was wrong. She drew crowds cause everyone thought she was the real deal. When she was discovered to be wrong, it didn’t seem to bother her any. She moved on.
@@amya.9509 Yup, probably very true. And keeping it up
Her prediction about Amanda was so heartbreaking to her mom that she passed from a broken heart. Sadly her babygirl was just a few miles from her the whole time.
I'm a Cleveland girl who looked at everyone trying to find her and Gina in the crowds. Sadly we didn't know about Michelle
I know this broke my heart when she told that mom her daughter was dead. She had no right to say that to that mom. Look how wrong she was.
I’m PR That lived in Cleveland at the time. I was once walked home from W 110th St & Lorain and I swear a Latin guy followed me in his car all the way to 92nd St. I always knew those girls were kidnapped.
Amanda Berry should have sued
Dr. Grande!! lord have mercy!! I use to watch her on the Montell William Show All The Times!! Always can count on you.
I grew up in Campbell, CA where Sylvia lived. For a short time a few years before she founded her church she ran a prayer and metaphysics group out of an office building in town. My infant son had been hospitalized with an undiagnosed illness and in my helplessness and desperation I found myself there one night, sobbing to a woman behind the counter and filing out a prayer request form. Sylvia had been sitting at a desk in the background and when she heard me crying she came up to me and took my hands in hers. She actually promised me that my son would be fine, which gave me immense comfort and turned out to be true. I have to give her props for her compassion that night, even though I became a skeptic of her psychic abilities soon after and grew to hate her for the anguish she caused so many tortured parents. She died in disgrace at a local hospital and is buried near my husband’s family members. I sometimes wonder how she’s doing in the afterlife.
She is fine and you can go listen to a channeling on channeling Eric. You can also ask some moderator if she is willing to do Sylvia Brown again because she was such a popular and beloved psychic
@@jmdenison those are demons masquerading as people not the actual people themselves
My uncle-- my dad's twin brother-- was brutally murdered in 1994, so 7 years before I was born. It's still an unsolved case here where I'm from, but right after his death, my dad and grandma (their mom) went on the montel williams show in hopes of making the case more public and seeking some sort of closure through Sylvia out of desperation and heartbreak. If I'm not mistaken, apparently my dad left the show that day knowing she was full of shit. We still have the vhs tape of it somewhere boxed up .
I am sorry.
It makes us legit ones look bad
@@joannajamerson35 agreed
You're serious or being facetious ?
I'm so sorry your family went through all this. So sad.
@@joannajamerson35 Are there "legit" ones? I myself never thought this to be true , that is why they stick to the entertainment industry.It's all show.
I read Amanda Berry’s book; she was kidnapped and Sylvia met with her mother on a talk show. She told her mother that Amanda was dead and Amanda saw this while she being held captive. It was so upsetting for her because she felt her Mom gave up on her afterward.
Sickening Sad and tragic. Actually makes me sick to my stomach.
That's incredibly sad
I read this book also.
After Amanda’s mother was told by Brown on the Montel show that Amanda was dead, her family said she pretty much gave up.
She died before Amanda and the other two women and Amanda’s daughter were rescued.
Such a creepy con artist.
Love your calm voice.
I really like listening to your analysis of the stories you are asked to listen to. I like it because you are so layed back and you have a quiet voice. Plus you throw in something funny every once in awhile. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
I remember this woman. Her antics would be hilarious if they hadn't hurt so many people.
She was evil
@@blackie6771 he said if it hadn't because she is a cringy fraud
Montel said he kept having her on the show because she was “funny and hysterical”. Yeah, because there’s nothing more hilarious than gaslighting people about their dead or missing relatives - yep, she’s a real hoot!
She could pull lies out her *ss with ease
Especially because I'm pretty sure that she'd argue with people. Like, I think I remember seeing an episode when I was a kid of Montel Williams where she claimed a woman's husband died in water. Even when the woman said that her husband had been nowhere near water.
I remember a woman on tv asking about her missing boyfriend and Sylvia gave her some long spiel about him being murdered by a man and how he was in a river but the lady told her afterwards her partner died in the World Trade Center
I remember that too! 😆
I think she also did one where she told a person their missing loved one was dead and they were later found.
@@drawitout yes she said that to the mother of Amanda Berry, one of the young girls who were held captive in a basement in Ohio. Amanda was allowed to watch tv while chained up and she actually saw the episode where her mom was told she was dead, unfortunately her mom passed away before she was able to reunite with her.
So messed up.
@@Richard-lh3te Oh yeah! I remember that now! I watched Amanda Berry’s interviews.
I needed this. Thank you.
Thank you about your story on Sylvia Brown, I’ve never heard of her.
I’m British, but that gives people the wrong idea of Spiritual Mediums.
We all havre this gift to a degree , I wanted to work with mine from being a child , but didn’t know anything about it then.
I new I was different that’s all.
But over many years I’ve come to the understanding I’m feel honoured to say I’m a helper for spirit friends.
My work is precious too me.
Messages I receive are from the highest of love. My friends and I work on that premiss to give our messages with love., neither are our intentions to hurt anyone.
Listening to Sylvia Brown on one show, blatantly telling someone how they died , for me is cruel, we have to be responsible for what comes out of out mouth.
I found her unfeeling. That’s not spiritual at all.
We work with guides whom protect that spirit and protect us. All with love.
We are not allowed nor would I want it even if I new tell a person in front of others about a loved one.
For me that’s a one to one reading. Private.
Spirit friends work with me in love not hate or vengeance .
She must have given loved ones here nightmares.
This too me is disgusting, and a gift if she had one was used fraudulent .
How Sylvia was allowed to get away with this , well I’m astounded.
For the true Mediums out there I wish you love and harmony and keep working for the highest and the best. In Christs name which is LOVE.🙏🙏🇬🇧❤️
Growing up, my mom had every single one of her books. I was experiencing dissociation and serious anxiety in high school and instead of getting me real help, my mom would just quote Sylvia Brown and tell me that it was my “life path” to suffer mentally.
I don't believe that your mother read that book right. Sylvia Brown said that if you were suffering from mental illness always seek professional help. And it's funny that Dr grande goes on about how horrible psychics are when psychics are actually probably his biggest referral service. Mental health mental health issues problems in life that require assistance your psychic will always send you to a therapist. They're not therapists but spirit will let you know when they want you to go and see one for problems that need to be taken care of by a mental health professional. This guy is too weird but I think he's a troll
I hope you got professional help and went on to have a better life 🤗
Thats terrible. Im so sorry
I am so angry about how you were treated Dissociation I explain to idiots that is like I am above the room looking down on my body. It is very scary At least I know now when it happens and it will leave and usually I can figure out latter what triggered it sometimes it’s like my body and mind are frozen I hope you found a caring therapist
Hello Dr Grande, my grandmother once said to me " give me a thief as opposed to a liar any day because you know where you stand " I remember thinking well you screwed if they are a liar and a thief !
Well done Dr. As always, fascinating. ❤️
Dr. Grande-
Fascinating case. Thank you for covering it. 🌻☮️ Happy Easter 🐇
I had to pause it right after the Dr. said “Doug the dishwasher”…oh my lord, could this get any better 😂 Thanks for the informative AND hilarious commentary, Dr. Grande! Love your videos!
I will have to quote that . When we cant find something I will say Doug in the dishwasher took it.
@@MargotHypnos 😂🤣😂🤣
Yep, when I die I plan on inhabiting a dishwasher and breaking the unlucky owner's crockery. That'll be fun.
Praise be to Doug.
@@coweatsman And you can cause streaks, too!
There was one time where Sylvia was hired by an actual Toys ‘R’ Us store because the employees/management were convinced the store was haunted. Not only did Sylvia perform some ridiculous seance there (and get paid handsomely for doing so), but she also ended up PLAYING HERSELF in a television re-enactment/dramatization of the event some time later. It’s worth looking up, one of the most bizarre bits of TV you’ll ever see lol. Thanks for the vid as always, Doc
You're right. It's hilarious 😂
@Hyperskreem 82 YES 😭 I forgot how stupid the “story” was lmfaooo!!! Poor Yonny
Was this in San Jose? I remember hearing about a haunted Toys R Us when I was in high school.
Wow! I remember that episode; I think it was from "That's Incredible"! Supposedly, the young man was chopping wood with an axe, accidentally chopped his leg and bled out. I forgot how this tied in with Toys 'R' Us though. I was in high school.
Omg I remember this! It was a toys r us here in the Bay Area! I feel like it was on the El Camino Real in Sunnyvale or Cupertino, but could be San Jose. We went there specifically to look for the “ghosts” but we only ever saw toys.
I love it when you joke, same tone as the rest of the video. I watch you for the information and I always hope for those hidden gem moments. Thank you
Thank you for exposing these frauds.
You are a GEM Dr. Grande! I always learn something from you. And have a good chuckle. Your humor is priceless! Thank you!
Brought to mind the recent movie, “Nightmare Alley,” where Bradley Cooper plays a deceptive, fraudulent mentalist. Starting out appropriately in a carnival, he rises to great heights and becomes quite well off. A master con artist who ultimately has a reckoning. On another note, love your logic Dr. Grande. Thanks for the analysis of a true life charlatan.
@Nightwood Saw movie “Nightmare Alley” - insightful the tricks and deception the characters used
I remember watching the episode when she predicted Sean H was dead. I'm from MO and the crime was so terrible so I wanted to hear what she said.When she told those poor parents thier son was dead on live TV, you could see in thier faces how heartbreaking it was to them. Years later he was found being a hero and saving another boy his kidnapper had kidnapped. I will never forget how angry I was at her. I quit watching that TV show after that. She was worse than I thought, I never heard all her other criminal and personal information before now. So terrible 😢.
Thank God Sean lived.
I will always remember her deep "smoking" voice and her awful fingernails. Preying on the feelings of desperate family members is so sinful.
She actually never smoked a day in her life. She just had a deep raspy voice. Something she couldn't help.
My sister sure believed her. She gave her alot of money. When Silvia died her son said he was just like her. She gave him money too
She was horrid why montel Williams loved her so much is beyond me
@@clairsmiley6109 I agree with you Clair.
Even as a kid, I always thought this lady was a witch.
This is going to sound incredible and that's because it is.
I know people that literally think I am a psychic.
I was raised to be incredibly observant of people and also to anticipate people's needs. So when I go ahead and help people or understand what they're trying to talk about, bystanders literally think I'm a psychic.
I tell them I'm not I just really pay attention and 9 times out of 10 you can tell what somebody is going to want. It has made me a very good nurse with patients with dementia because I'm able to figure out what they're trying to say or what need they're trying to have met. There are people that would rather believe that I have a psychic ability than the fact that I just really pay attention to people.
People all weird!
It sounds like you are an Empath.
That makes more sense.
🙏
That's exactly what so called psychics do. My mother was one of them. She wasn't a psychic. Far from it.
I bet you are wonderful nurse!
Sounds like intuition...
Listening intently watching facial reactions and understanding body language are traits of experienced nurses and psychologists and detectives. Also very good psychics palm readers tarot card readers use the same traits.
Great video and I am embarrassed to say at one point I believed in her and used to watch the Montel Williams show. Luckily I started to realize what a fraud she was. She caused a lot of pain for a lot of people. Especially for Amanda Berry's mom. I think her mom did give up at that point and immediately stopped living. I think trying to find her daughter kept her waking up every morning. So heartbreaking.
😢
Yes I used to watch her on Montel as well ! 😢Fell so bad for the families she swindled 💔
P
I used to believe it too, I even bought a couple of books. But through those books I started to question her 'predictions'. Such a trash human.
@@heathermanning5368 She also swindled everyday people with no major tragedy looming over them. She charged $700.00 for a telephone consult where she told people about their angel guides, and other unprovable nonsense.
She predicted that Dr. Todd Grande would not analyze her life.
An ex of mine to this day believes in Sylvia Brown's work despite being exposed as a con-artist. She also believes that she can communicate with dolphins and that her garden is populated by fairies. There's no helping some people.
I remember watching Sylvia Browne on The Montel Williams Show and laughing at her ridiculousness with my roommate. She was unbelievable...literally.
Yeah, me too. How she used to always put her long dirty Fingernails in her mouth and chew on them. GROSS
amen
Thanks you for not being basic and stupid!!! You give me hope for this world!!!
All I have to say is my mother had an incredible reading in Scotland by a woman in the 80s. It was just particular to my mother and it helped me grieve over the loss of my cousin. She said NO ONE would ever charge any money for the gift and if they do they are liars.
so they should just work fulltime and receive nothing?
@@samanthakoval5795 No...but they aren't supposed to charge for their "gift". You leave a donation if you find it helpful but it is not required.
Many things do this sort of thing, not just psychics. When I learned to read tarot cards in the 90s (and I believe and tell people they are a nice parlor trick) this was the method of payment we were taught to do: basically a set tip they give you for your time. Make sense?
@@samanthakoval5795 No if it’s a true gift it’s free and the physic gets a job like everyone else. Regarding such sensitive matters as life or death and to charge hundreds of dollars knowing your a con is a person with no morals. I’ve never used a physic but I know the one that helped the Secret Service (confirmed) regarding a murder and she found the body for them and she refused any money. So I’m not saying if a small few have a gift or not but they’re never in it for the money.
So are you saying all those psychics and spiritual mediums on KEEN are fake?
@@mommmycat , I know some have true gifts. I have been lucky enough to talk to 2 before. After loosing my mom, I started reaching out to a very well known psychic. My mom was visiting me in my dreams, so I wanted to find out all I could. I have had dreams since I was very small , that have proven to come true in my life. But, I don't think I am psychic. After communicating with the psychic, I was offered for about 200 dollars a class to become a medium with a certificate, to use to work with people that have lost love ones. It was truly sickening to me. Since I have learned alot about how these people trick & fool people into believing they are communicating with loved ones. It is pathetic to use people that have lost loved ones to make money.
I saw one clip where she was talking to a lady who’s fiancé died and the lady said “they never found his body”
Sylvia responds almost immediately saying “it’s because he’s in water “ and the lady seems taken aback by this and tells Sylvia “he died in 9/11” 🤦🏼♀️
I’m a former witch(born again Christian now) and even when I was in the occult, I couldn’t stand this stuff. Or the people pretending to channel dead celebs”
Your indepth analysis is exceptionally topnotch.
Ryan Katcher died 10 miles from my town growing up, I have friends on the dive team that recovered him. Thank you for remembering Ryan. ❤️
I love a good Syliva Brown analysis! Just in time for me to cry in my car at lunch today too!! 😊
ETA I wonder if I had a "Doug" in my dishwasher....would my dishes be clean faster? 🤷🏻♀️

@@StarlahMutiny thanks so much. Dr Grande always makes me feel better. (and the Grande family here in the comments) 🤗🤗🤗
@@stillwaters7730 thanks so much. Just another day in healthcare lol. Tomorrow will be better and Dr Grande makes all days better!
I love her books! ❤
Dr. Grande, you're the best!
I couldn’t stand that woman. I remember my Mama used to watch her and I’d get so upset because I thought she was disgusting. I have to admit I was relieved when she passed so she wouldn’t be able to hurt anyone else.
Whenever I need a good laugh, Sylvia Brown's psychic reading is one of my go-to videos 😅.
I go both ways on this one. I actually had a reading from her one time and some of what she said did actually make sense, but at the same time, some of what she said seemed to be "Shot in the dark" guesses. I got the feeling that she did have the ability to somewhat tune into certain things, but could not pin more detailed things. I don't know, kind of hard to explain. I also saw a lot of people on the Montel Williams show that said she did accurately predict things. So I'm just not sure what to make of her. However though, I did send a question into her son just a few months ago, and asked what I should do about my sleep problems, and he 100% nailed it that I have sleep apnea, like he was dead on accurate.
Montel Williams suffers from MS if I’m not mistaken. So he must have been so ecstatic to find out there’s a cure for it.
Shortest book ever. 😂 I love your humor Todd. 💚👏🏼
I met her in my hometown once, i introduced myself and afterwards, I had a terrible feeling in my lower rib cage. I was 14 at the time and thought it was so odd.
Not really. People see things like this from an atheistic viewpoint but there's also spiritual element and that's what you picked up from her without realising it.
That's your inner psychic🤫
Scam artist are amazing at how much nerve they have to try this and think they’ll just always get away with it. What’s more astounding and frankly very sad is how people fall for, believe and rely on these monsters. Pitiful.
Many of these people are desperate and get taken advantage of. My mom’s best friend lost her youngest son in a car accident. She was absolutely devastated for years. She would get telephone readings from Sylvia Brown for a lot of money per 15 minutes.
I wish so hard that I can find the clip of me on the Montel Williams show getting a reading from her. My face can’t hide anything and it must have been priceless how I looked at her after she told me I’d be a fashion designer when that’s not only the very last thing I’d want to be but that I am in fact the most laid back non high maintenance person who is in the natural wellness industry lmao!!!!! Total fraud!
Well though on the other hand, you have to understand how a grieving mind works. A lot of them had no hope whatsoever and clinging for whatever good they can find to give them peace of mind. That is what her so far worse! She took advantage of those, who had just lost someone and in a very vulnerable state of mind
"That should be a very short book, since NONE OF THEM ARE REAL" 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂😂! I LOOOOOOOVE YOU HONESTY AND STRAIGHTFORWARDNESS and your BRULLIANT SENCE OF HUMOR!!!
The subtlety of your humor is incredible
I’ve never been a big believer in psychics and still find myself questioning what happened to my cousin, Di, several years ago. My cousin’s only child was brutally murdered at 18, and she struggled terribly over his death for years. A friend of hers signed her up see Suzane Northrop, a psychic medium who was doing a reading on our area, hoping this might give Di some peace. Di was one of 200 people at the reading, and at no time was her name or any personal information given to the psychic (her friend bought the ticket in her own name). Apparently this gal roamed all over the room, supposedly connecting with the dead relatives & friends of people in the audience. All of a sudden, this gal makes a b-line directly to my cousin, stands in front of her and tells her that a young man with a name beginning with an M had been bugging her since she started the session. She asked Di if she had a son who died, and Di nodded. Then she asked if her son’s name was Matt. Di nodded. Then she asked if his death was a murder…specifically involving his heart, and Di nodded. Then she said, Matt says he loves the little memorial you set up for him in the living room, and he wants you to know you were the best mom, and that he’s very happy. The gal pauses and says, wait a minutes…there’s a very large man with him. It looks like he’s wearing a uniform…maybe a policeman or fire fighter? Di’s dad had died 6 months before Matt-he was a firefighter, and he & Matt were inseparable. She also told Di that this big man is holding a tiny dog…maybe a pug? At this point Di & her husband are in shock, because my aunt & uncle had a pug who also died around the same time. Then this gal said something that blew my mind. She said there was another male coming through who was very gregarious. She told Di that he is with your dad and son, and his name begins with a J. Di drew a blank. The gal said he’s balding, well dressed, very funny and is making everyone laugh. Di still draws a blank. Then she said, he is showing me little trains…like the kind under a Christmas tree but he’s also showing me real trains, and Di realizes it’s her Uncle John-MY dad! My sweet, kind, smart, honorable dad had died that year after a brutally short battle with colon cancer at 65. He had worked for the Wabash and then the N&WRR and had been a model railroader for 30 years, collecting engines and railcars for his ultimate layout. He had been retired for 3 years and been in the throes of finishing a massive train layout when he was diagnosed and, tragically, he’s never had a chance to run a train on the tracks he had worked so hard on! I cried like baby & Di cried with me. My husband is a scientist who thinks psychics are charlatans, but when I shared all this with him, even he was dumbfounded. Actually, our whole family of skeptics are still dumbfounded. We couldn’t ignore the fact that there was no way Northrop knew my cousin’s name, so she couldn’t have researched her background. Second, even if she did, how would she know about my dad? Her mom & my mom are sisters, so we don’t have the same last name. And how would she know about his hobby? Short of having a team of people who surreptitiously follow all ticket buyers to determine who is coming to readings, there is no way Northrop could have known all this detailed information. No matter how much we tried to debunk Northrop we just couldn’t. So, Sylvia was a obviously complete sham, but is that true of all psychics? Ten years ago I would have thought so, but not anymore. But as much as Northrop seemed to be the real deal, I haven’t been inclined to see a psychic myself. I guess I’m on the fence!
Fascinating story.
even a broken clock is right once an hour
Bless you, what an amazing story. I've had episodes in my life where similar has happened although nowhere near as dramatic and meaningful as this clearly is to you. I'm more inclined to think that maybe some of the phenomena itself is real but most of the people selling it as an on-demand/entertainment/attention seeking/money spinning tool.... are... not
All the best x

I had a dear friend, now passed, years ago that I shared a kind of intuition with. We would land on the same words or images at the same time all the time it seemed. I am a very rational person and hard to convince, so this kind of scared me on some level. Were we reading each other's minds? No idea.
I actually saw her show in the 90's, she came to my town. My mother in law had died recently and my sister in law wanted to go, they were both followers of Sylvia's show. I didn't know what to expect but my sister in law left disillusioned, to say the least. It was an interesting evening, the crowd was pretty fascinating! Thanks for another spot on and entertaining video. I love seeing what you'll come up with next! Love from Ohio
I remember her saying a guy died in water when he died as a firefighter in the WTC on 9/11. They actually tried to justify that by saying, "Well, you know, the water... firefighters use water, or the river..." It was disgusting.
I remember that one. Shameful
She is despicable, I remember montel, he did have her on often, she acted so confident, how.many of those books I read and actually bought - I want my money back
I had no idea that mediumship was hereditary... Thank you, Dr. Grande, for not diagnosing Ms Brown as a carrier of such a self-serving recessive gene.
Mental illness definitely can be.
I wonder if she had any kids ? Hope not.
hey Mel! LOL! 😉
“Nonsense is a volume business.” That’s a pretty profound statement.
I find it fascinating how her life and career align so simply and profoundly with the act of predation we find in nature. She spends her time waiting for vulnerable victims and casts her net towards the desperate and delusional. She charges high prices to pick wealthy and desperate targets, while her practice itself makes sure the victims are highly suggestible. Predation arises naturally among people who have nothing better to do than act like animals. What’s supernatural is how we’ve failed to extinguish predation amongst humans for all these years.
“Nonsense is a volume business”.
Very good point.
Genuinely astounding that her “predictions” are less accurate than a person making random guesses. You would think she would accidentally get something right at least once, just by chance and the number of predictions.
The proverb about the broken clock just fails here.
Right.
Lol
She will certainly answer to God in the beyond!
Guess none of you saw her predicting COVID.
Ugh, I despise these "psychic" charlatans so much. Aside from cold-blooded murderers and predatory televangelists, they are probably my least favorite people.
SO AGREE! Amen 💯! 🎯
@@shayb413 did you just say amen after talking about hating people... right
@@solannyandrea378 Sorry, I don't HATE ANYONE- but I DO STRONGLY DISLIKE when people like her take advantage of people in their most vulnerable and tragic times in their life, when they are hurting, GRIEVING, Heartbroken, and DESPERATE for ANY kind of answers or comfort- and they lie- and do it ALL for MONEY, or sometimes Fame AND money. I find that sickening, and I've seen it happen to people I love. After my Dad died WAY too young from colon cancer, my Brother got obsessed with knowing if he still existed on the other side (I personally believe he does and I hope sometimes he is around me and his Grandchildren, and that he is so Happy is surrounded by Love and Free of all pain!) But my brother started spending CRAZY AMOUNTS of money on a "Psychic" who told him she was getting "messages" straight my Father apparently. It ruined his marriage eventually and left his 4 children in a horrible situation bc he spend THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS on this, and they didn't have much to begin with. And it was all bunk. That's also on him for bad decision making, but he was grieving and he has some extreme learning disabilities and mental struggles, so it's much harder for him to understand logically. So I guess I would say I don't DESPISE people like this, but I CERTAINLY despise what they do, how they prey on and profit off people's pain and lie and rob people blind. It is especially disturbing when it involves someone who has lost a child, so broken, and looking for ANYTHING to help. In that situation, I might try ANYTHING too! So YES I said Amen to this comment, and Amen CAN just mean you agree with someone- also I am never unkind to ANYONE, and I'm always very quick to apologize if I ever do wrong- and we all do, or especially if I offend someone- but I won't apologize for this or how I feel about it, and I'm sure God would frown on it heavily also BTW (the lying and taking advantage and exploiting people's loss and grief I mean)- if you are taking the "Amen" in that sense, though I was just meaning it as "I agree". It's not an ok thing to do, and you judging me for feeling that way about people who lie and deceive and exploit pain and Death and Loss and tragedy and heartbreak and vulnerability for money seems short sided and unkind, but you're welcome to your feelings and opinions just like I'm welcome to mine. I hope you have a nice and beautiful day!
@@solannyandrea378 P.S., I'm sure you've heard this A LOT, but you are GORGEOUS, like Model Gorgeous, and your hair is so freaking Beautiful! Just thought I'd add that, since I do like to point out positive things when I notice them! ✌️ And ❤️!
@Solanny. FYI - Amen means, "so be it". It's not a religious word.
Ok first! I absolutely love your channel and how you are completely no-nonsense about things and get right to the facts. You come across as extremely intelligent and I also love that you will discuss all topics from A - Z (when appropriate! 😉)And your voice is totally relaxing as well.
My question is referring to something you said during this video. I was watching a few things about Sylvia Brown and I find her and the things she had done absolutely repulsive. The hurt she must have caused so many I can’t even imagine. But what I heard you say when you mentioned mediums (and forgive me if I don’t get it exactly right) was that you said she as a medium or psychic wasn’t real… and that none of them are.
Do you actually completely believe that none of them are? I know there are so many fakes out there. But sometimes I’ve seen more … reputable?? … one’s really hit the nail on things they never could have known… or googled, or looked up anywhere. Do you believe it is completely fake? Which leads me to ask what you feel about the afterlife? I don’t need you to go into a whole big thing about it , unless you’d like to that is!, but are you a believer? A skeptic? A complete non-believer? Just curious! Thanks for the videos!
If I had a talk show, I would have Dr. Grande on everyday because he truly is hilarious
Sylvia Browne was a great 'snake oil saleswoman'. She used to be on the Montel Williams show often. I always thought the reason he kept having her back was for ratings. That possibly his ratings went up when she was on his show. It's very sad to know that her 'predictions' caused so much heartache:(
I agree
It was ratings and during time fake or real psychics where making alot money... now who remembers Miss Cleo
I've seen some clips from when she was on the show, and so many of the people look SO baffled when she gives her "readings." It's like she wasn't even listening to what the people were even saying most of the time, she just had a wheel in her head that turned up "she's in water" "he was kidnapped" "she was kidnapped AND is in water" but never changed what she said with the context of what was being asked.
@@FrenkTheJoy I was just commenting about a clip with a woman asking about her dead husband or boyfriend and Sylvia claiming, “I see him underwater.” The woman looked confused before replying, “He died on 9/11.”
I think she was just cheap guest they could film multiple shows in one day rather than fly in more guests.
I absolutely love your 'hidden gems' of humor. As an aspiring psych student, i love your informative content and how entertaining they are as well.
Well I know a lot of license therapists and psychologists and they're much better than this guy. He has a tendency to troll and say horrible negative judgmental things about people without any evidence or without investigating it himself. For example he's never had a reading with Sylvia Brown so right there he's coming off as a fake. And then he also said that she never worked with the FBI but how would he know that because the FBI doesn't share.
My mom LOVED watching Sylvia. Something never sat right with me about Sylvia, even as a kid.
Probably because you remember being a psychic and a past life and you probably ended up dead That's what they did to psychics and past times
Love your lowkey sarcasm!
I was dating someone seriously in Cleveland when the news of Amanda, Gina and Michelle was just released and breaking. When the public got whiff of Sylvia's encounter with Amanda's mother and what had since happened - there was a very local drive to help Amanda's family with the thought she had just quit to think her daughter was gone forever due to someone fairly trusted telling a desperate family such falsehoods.
Really hope anyone affected by Sylvia heals.
Amanda Berry saw Sylvia Browne tell her mother she was dead on montel. On top of being kidnapped and raped by a disgusting disturbed old man for years she witnessed her mother being lied to by that con artist. She witnessed the devastated look on her Mom's face. Unforgivable.
The grief that she contributed to, for these families, is unforgivable.
Scams are a dime a dozen, but targeting fearful, desperate families, ought to be off the table to anyone with a heart and whatever they define as a soul.
She was devoid of a human soul as per Dr. Cleckley, author of "The Mask of Sanity." She was a psychopath.
Exactly. I can help but being disgusted by such predatory behaviour. Cults do the exact same thing. They don't go after well balanced, happy people because no one in their right minds will give them any attention. I will always remember a jehova witness at my job literally harassing my friend who his father has just died, trying to give him books and advices when his own life experience was very limited. My friend and I were so angry about this.
@@xminusone1 that’s pretty low. Good thing your friend had you to lean on.
I at one time thought, before this video, that she was truly gifted.
I never followed her predictions, but I loved her books.
You did it I just realized you made it over 1 million! Congratulations! Way to go
my mom passed before slyvia was toughted as a fraud but as a kid my mom loved her, read her books and watched everything she was in , i always hated her for how rude she was to these victims families and i was skeptical even before i was a full on skeptic of all of this kind of thing
I love when Dr. Grande cracks and shows a tiny smile at the most ridiculous of things.
Her son, Chris Dufresne, also is live on TH-cam on Sundays.
The legacy of the grift continues.
You really should review her son. Chris duFresne. Wow
Since I’m from the Cleveland area, the first thing I think of is the way she lied to Amanda Berry’s mother. So sad her mother died before she escaped and is now living her best life.
I grew up with an aunt that was obsessed with this lady, and believed in her very much. I remember her being a frequent guest on the Montel Williams show back in the 90s.
Wow I remember her from the Montel Williams show actually towards the end of his shows it was all her almost every day. Psychics just rub me the wrong way because they prey off of people that are sad over the death of loved ones. It is very easy to watch someone’s eyes and know just what to say because anyone that has lost a loved one ultimately would love to be able to speak to them especially when it’s a close family member like a child or a parent. Shame on them!
