About the author
Sylvia Browne
239 books597 followersSylvia Browne was an American author and self-proclaimed psychic who built a lucrative career through books, television appearances, and psychic readings. Known for her frequent guest spots on The Montel Williams Show and Larry King Live, she claimed to communicate with angels, spirit guides, and the deceased, and said she had psychic visions from the age of three. In 1986, she founded the Society of Novus Spiritus, a Gnostic Christian church, and ran a variety of businesses, reportedly earning millions annually.
Browne wrote over 40 books, many of which were bestsellers, and maintained a dedicated fanbase throughout her life. However, her career was marked by controversy. She made numerous high-profile predictions about missing persons and criminal cases that were later proven false—errors that drew widespread criticism and scrutiny from skeptics and media outlets. A 2010 study by the Skeptical Inquirer concluded she had not been accurate in any verifiable case. Her reputation suffered further after her 1992 conviction for securities fraud.
Despite criticism from figures like James Randi and John Oliver, Browne retained a devoted following. Her vague prediction about a “pneumonia-like illness” spreading around 2020 drew renewed attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. She remained a polarizing figure—revered by some, discredited by others—until her death in 2013 at the age of 77.

I usually love Sylvia's stuff, but really didn't like this one. It was published in July 2004 and now, ten years later, we're in the time that she was predicting many advancements that we just haven't seen. She lost my interest when she said that the common cold would be eradicated by 2009 or 2010 (pg 204 in the edition I read). I wish that had happened as I've got a cold right now...

I found this book interesting, though the timelines of her prophesies is definitely out. I didn’t expect them to be overly accurate as to timing, though one stuck out for me as highly accurate:
“By 2020 we’ll see more people than ever wearing surgical masks and rubber gloves in public, inspired by an outbreak of a severe pneumonia-like illness that attacks both the lungs and the bronchial tubes and is ruthlessly resistant to treatment.” …. She saw the Covid pandemic it seems. That’s pretty good given she first published this book in 2004! Maybe more of her prophesies will ultimately come true. Only time will tell.
I didn’t have a problem finishing this book. I read it in hardcover and it’s been my TBR pile beside my bed for years. I’m glad I did read it, and contrary to a lot of other reviewers, I appreciate her philosophy and even agree with a lot of it, so reading this book didn’t raise my hackles like it seems to ,to many others. If she doesn’t get all her prophesies correct, I would just think she misinterpreted what she saw. If a person living in the year 1800 saw an airplane they may misinterpret too, so why not her not quite getting it right?

Hilarious
For someone who claims to be 90% accurate, she has proven herself to be 90% WRONG. I laughed out loud and remained amused at this woman's predictions for the future...Which has become the present. It doesn't take long into reading this that this woman is a big fraud.

My mother and I used to watch her on Montel's talk show when I was a teen, impressionable, yet trying to keep an open mind. Browne passed away in 2013, and I'll preface by saying that I do not like speaking ill of the deceased. These are my thoughts on what she wrote and predicted and not about her. I read her chapters on prophets and thought it was fascinating; my mind still wide open. However, I nearly slammed it shut when I started to read about a scanning machine in her version of Heaven that shows a soul their entire life. I also found the idea that we write out our own "life charts" before we "choose our family" to be unbiblical. While we decide what we do in life, it is not our choice when we go to Heaven, or God forbid, Hell or a purgatory, nor who we are born to.
Her words about E.T.'s already being on our planet reminded me of when she told Montel and the audience that they'd already been in his audience and that one was during that filming. Spoiler alert: the audience gasped. Perhaps this is true; but not that E.T.'s are getting degrees faster than us because they're intellectually superior, implying that Masters and Doctorate recipients may not be human. (Edit 2025: I just married a man with a Master's degree and he's going on to get a Doctorate. He's human). While I do believe that all of God's creatures can go to Heaven (with the exception of mosquitoes) and that this just might include E.T.'s, the idea that their souls – "mystic travelers" – would be more special to God is preposterous. Her idea that MT's are easy to spot because they are the ones with severe health struggles was… I can't even. There's also a slightly disturbing story of a young boy, who was allegedly an MT, taking his mother with him to the spirit realm to see his path to this version of Heaven before her soul "slammed back into her body." On this, I also can't even.
Yet another unbiblical statement was that the E.T.'s built the pyramids. This isn't anything new, and while it is staunchly defended, I'm afraid it was actually a bunch of Hebrews. I found her "declaration" that these aliens are from the Andromeda galaxy and the Pleiades star cluster to be interesting, considering it's 444.2 lightyears away from this planet, and definitely implies they would have better technology; but the benefit of the doubt didn't last long. She also claimed that a President elected after 2008 would die of a heart attack and that his VP would ascend and then subsequently be assassinated. Since she said "after 2008," I didn't put it into any of the lists below. For now, this one is thankfully false.
I don't have a segue way. These are the lists that I put together.
What she got WRONG:
1. 2012, air purifiers as normal in homes as TVs because of deforestation. 2013, built into homes like central air
2. 2012, excitement for "e.t. orbs" increase; 2015 sightings of spacecrafts harder to debunk, and searching comes to an end in 2018 because of aliens identifying themselves to the government
3. 2012, earthlings putting man on Mars with alien technology
4. everything but 1 thing in the government chapter (see below)
5. only one more elected pope after John Paul II

34. 2024, Earthlings living under domes for UV protection; domes only open for planes lifting off and landing; humans safe to leave domes in 2060
35. 2024, seawalls (?) built with something that didn't exist when she wrote this, it makes the walls bendy and unbreakable in wind (Sorry, Trump. Not yours)
What she MIGHT have got RIGHT:
1. 2012, businesses getting just karma (4 years late?)
2. 2020, Earth feeling warmer (not really psychic)
3. Law about castrating sex criminals nationally (only Alabama)

15. 2040, 3 story homes with retractable roofs for hover cars, every family
16. 2025, voice ID software on everybody for police (Will update this around January 1st, 2026).

Contradictions:
1. Page 171: she said video phones by 2015, but on page 173, she said it would be 2007, which is why it appears twice.
Phew!
I'm NOT psychic, and I wouldn't say that I was meant to read this book 16 years after its release, but I'm glad I did, even though the fact that I could put these lists together for this review is a bit… darkly humorous(?). I was willing to read this for nostalgia of her time on Montel, but I'll probably only read her others out of curiosity and so I can make more lists. (Update October 2025: I've since read more of her books, and it was definitely out of curiosity and so I could make more lists. 😝)
To be honest, I sped-read some of the chapters as they weren't on topics that I would otherwise read about. I also didn't (believe it or not) exhaustively list off every prediction as true, false, or unknown. I didn't include the stuff I didn't really know anything about. I also didn't add everything because the purpose of what I've compiled was to see whether she was really psychic or not; not to put her down or to speak ill of the deceased. She seemed like a warm, nice person on TV, but I do not think I would go as far to say that she was a prophet (as she pretty much said in the first chapter about herself, which was a bit disappointing; Update October 2025: she implied in another book that she was not a prophet; "Secret Societies.") or a psychic. This book was interesting enough, for what it is. I can't really say that it was horrible or that I hated it, so I am going to give it 2 stars.
I am not an expert on everything, so if you see something in the "who knows?" category of which there is proof that she got it right, please let me know in the comments or in a PM so I can properly edit this review and put it in the right list; please provide the proof as well).

I have to give her a bit of credit since some of the predictions can be "twisted" to somewhat match what she said such as the "home computer" she described sounds a bit like the voice-activated smart home devices we have in our home now and the news confirms Amazon is building home with its tech built in. She was correct to predict the legalization of same-sex marriage but didnt date it.
However, she predicted the cold and flu would be eradicated by 2009-2010 and the abolition of the marriage institution by 2020 lol.
Overall, the amount of "wrong prophecies" leave me with a sour taste in my mouth that reminds me too much of Amanda Berry. Throughout the book I couldn't shake the feeling that she threw many piles at the wall and a few traces stuck but the majority was poop not art lol

This is one of Sylvia Browne's many books and it deals with almost every paranormal-related topic you can think of. The book is divided into various sections:
Mysterious Places: Stonehenge, Easter Island, Shangra-La, the Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis and Lemuria. This part is pretty interesting, especially the part on Shangra-La, although we would have to assume that the city has some type of cloaking device; otherwise spy satellites would have taken its picture long ago. Ms. Browne believes that Atlantis will begin to rise relatively soon. If it would, then I wonder what country would be able to claim salvage rights? If the place existed and did, indeed, have advanced technology, then there could be somewhat of a fight between nations to get there first and take what they could.
Strange Creatures: Tulpas, Fairies, Demons, Witches, Werewolves, Vampires, extraterrestrials, etc. Tulpas are basically things brought into being by the power of thought, which is quite interesting. She doesn't believe vampires really exist, although she does believe fairies do. She believes aliens are already living amongst us and resemble humans quite closely.
That is where I have a problem. The other way that could be, assuming evolution is true, is if they started the human race in some manner. Otherwise, since they evolved on a different planet with somewhat different conditions than Earth, then they would naturally have evolved to a slightly different appearance than humans, if not a noticeably different appearance. It's quite unlikely that they would have evolved in such a manner than they could freely pass among humans without anyone noticing, unless they had some kind of technology that allowed them to mimic human appearance.
Unexplained Objects: Crystal Skulls, Ica Stones, ancient maps, the Pyramids, the Sphinx and Crop Circles. I was not aware of the Ica Stones, and her material on that is quite interesting.
Mystic Phenomena: Spontaneous Human Combustion, Auras, Black Holes, The Hollow-Earth theory, alien abductions, etc. She definitely does not believe in the hollow-earth theory. She is of the group that believes that the government does not tell people the truth about UFOs because they want to avoid a panic. She absolutely believes that extraterrestrials do exist and do live amongst us.
Christian Controversies: Stigmata, the Shroud of Turin, the Holy Grail, the lost years of Jesus, the Devil, and Popular Holidays. This is an extremely interesting section, especially with her material on Jesus. Her take is that Jesus did no die on the cross; he was purposefully removed before he died. He traveled a lot, married Mary Magdalene and ended up living in France where he died at the age of 80. She doesn't believe that the devil exists per se.
This is a very interesting book and an excellent way to learn about a very wide variety of paranormal subjects all within the covers of a single book.

This is the second Browne book I've read. I loved the first one, but this seemed a little thin on material. Sorta like those cable TV sensationalist programs where they repeat the last five minutes before commercials in the first five minutes after commercials. Tedious to read and - at its most interesting - upsetting because of the author's enthusiasm for encoding/identifying all people in a huge database. I found it difficult to embrace the book when my conception of progress conflicts with Browne's so dramatically. It's not so much that she predicts these things, but that she's happy about them that bothers me.

Very interesting and fun read.

This book caught my interest on its Part I. The first part was informative and interesting. Unfortunately, I lost it on its Part II. It did not clicked with what I anticipate it to be.

این کتاب اثری از سیلویا براون با همکاری لیندسی هریسون میباشد که آنها در واقع خودشان را پیشگو دانسته و این عمل را موهبتی الهی دانسته که خداوند در اختیارش قرار داده تا بدین وسیله کمک حال دیگران در مواقع سختی باشد
این کتاب از سه بخش تشکیل شده که بخش اول آن دارای شش فصل میباشد که در صفحه ۹ کتاب از بخش یک و فصل اول براون از ارتباط جاودانش با پیشگوها و پیشگوییهایش گفته
و در مجموع سه بخش او از ادیان، و در فصل دوم از پیشگوهای سرشناس سخن به میان آورده و نام پیشگویان مهم تاریخ را برده و نکته جالب در این بین نام بردن « سر آرتور کانن دیول» خالق شرلوک هلمز در میان دیگر پیشگویان است. و از پیشگوییهای او در رابطه با آشوبهای طبیعی، زمین لرزه های شدید، جنگ ویرانی و اختلال و... سخن به میان آورده و در فصل ششم از بخش اول از سفرهای فضایی و موجودات فرازمینی در بین انسانها و خلاصهایی از تاریخ ما با فرازمینی ها گفته
بخش دوم کتاب چشم انداز جامعه
سیاست و اقتصاد
سنای جدید
جایگاه ما در دنیا ...
او در بخش سوم کتاب از سلامت جسمی، عاطفی، ذهنی و روحی گفته و در شش فصل کتاب را در بخش سوم به پایان رسانده.
خوندن این کتاب اونطور که تصور میکردم جذاب نبود و گاهی با بی میلی تمام صفحات رو ورق میزدم و به دنبال مطلب جدیدی میگشتم که کس دیگه ایی ازش نگفته باشه
به طوری که در این کتاب خوندم این پیشگوییها تکرار مکررات بود و سخنان دیگر پیشگویان...
از پنج ستاره دو ستاره و نیم به این کتاب میدم و سعی میکنم کتاب دیگه ایی از این پیشگو دیگه نخونم

Questo libro non è invecchiato male, di più.
Me lo han regalato per scherzo, i miei amici lo avevano trovato in libreria perché è andato virale lo scorso marzo a causa della presunta predizione del coronavirus e della DAD.
Quello che ti trovi davanti, però, è un libro che tenta di indovinare cose che non sono mai successe: Obama che muore nel 2008 per un infarto e la conseguente caduta del titolo di "Presidente degli USA", l'uomo su Marte nel 2012, i sensitivi come regolari membri delle forze dell'ordine, la scomparsa della cecità o del raffreddore entro il 2019, i robot che si occupano dei bambini al posto delle tate, l'umanità che vive con i caschi in testa per colpa delle piogge acide (da questa scrittrice intese come cascate ustionanti e radioattive), tutte le religioni del mondo che si fondono assieme e fondano dei grandi centri operativi per curare le persone fisicamente e spiritualmente in nome di Dio (perché tutte le religioni del globo dovrebbero poi sottostare al dio cristiano lo sa solo Sylvia Browne)
Però dai, ho riso quando ha parlato di extraterrestri e della sua rabbia verso gli scienziati che vogliono togliere loro i diritti per la costruzione delle piramidi.
Altra nota dolente a chi fosse interessat*: all'inizio Browne parla di culture Native da classica bianca che sfrutta la spiritualità altrui a proprio vantaggio. Big NO

I read the whole book, in less that a week. So didn’t hate it.. I actually enjoyed the first part, I’ve always enjoyed reading about different ideologies and the similarities between them.
However her predictions were a bit loopy and far out, (even for me! I’m a loopy and far out person!)
Other elements bored me, so I skimmed ahead.
I’m glad that I read the book 18 years after it was published.. I’m glad that a lot of it was wrong.. I have a cold at the moment! Fingers crossed we can get global warming under control, so there’s no acid rain, and need for domed cities.. that sounds really terrible.
In the authors defence; She did state
that exact timing of predictions can be incorrect. She also seems to accurately have to predicted Coronavirus; people wearing masks and gloves, and the fact that Australia will close its borders, but wrong about the reason for the closures.
Overall. An ok read.

Read this in late 2018, many years after publication and several years after many of her predictions. Some were spot on I think, but then some fell far short. She claims a career 85% accuracy rate in the beginning of the book, but this collection falls far short of that now that the time has passed. What grated me the most was the feeling that some of these were not predictions, but rather a wishlist of her hopes. Consider her predictions for school children and the community spirituality centers. Those were so specific, as compared to all the other vague discussions. It's easy to paint details into daydreams.

Nel 2008 il raffreddore verrà sconfitto. Entro il 2010 diagnosticheremo alla nascita le malattie mentali e elimineremo definitivamente il problema.le malattie mentali non esisteranno più. Potrei continuare con questo libro religioso patetico a spoilerare le grandi stupidaggini che contiene, ma concludo solo con la considerazione: nemmeno Paolo Brosio avrebbe scritto un libro così osceno, assurdo e insensato come questo. Un cumulo di riprovevoli stupidaggini.

Nulla da ridire sulla Browne, ma il libro sembra un pò lista della spesa di quello che potenzialmente e non potenzialmente potrebbe accadere nell'immediato futuro prossimo. Ovviamente a noi interesserebbe più l'aspetto non potenziale, ovvero quello non deducibile. Quest'ultimo aspetto nel libro rappresenta un pò la percentuale minore e tra queste profezie non deducibili, sono poche quelle veramente originali o quantomeno interessanti.

(2004) Psychic visionary. You can tell she really did her homework on people such as Nostradamus etc... Enjoyable read for sure. Past and future predictions were shown. I am going to leave it to future readers to take from the book on what they believe in. If that makes any sense at all. What I am trying to say is that I am not going to show you what I believe in and what I disagree with.

Sylvia Browne gives her readers prophecies from well known prophets and then some of her own. I have read one other book by her, Life on the Other Side. She makes you open your mind about things you probably wouldn’t have cared to learn about.

Pessimo, dopo una discreta prima parte introduttiva, iniziano le profezie é sono davvero pessime. Ci sono almeno 500 profezie su tutti gli argomenti politica, economia, medicina, salute,criminalità, tecnologia ecc ecc, e non più del 1-2% é stata indovinata.

Letto per curiosità visto che c’è una presunta profezia sul coronavirus. È vero, c’è. Ma per il resto una serie di profezie con tanto di data che non si sono avverate

Sırf meraktan okudum gerçekten corona’yı yılıyla bilmiş ama hepsi o kadar.

Read this years ago, and wanted to come back to it now in 2020 to see what may or may not have come to pass. Some seems spot on, and some far-fetched. Interesting anyway!

Kehanetlerin kimisi bilimkurgu filmlerini aratmıyor.Elbette içeriğinde corona'nın habercisi mevcut.Aslında geç okunmuş bir kitap oldu benim için,ilk çıktığında okumak isterdim.

All I can say is WOW when it comes to the pandemic prediction.

Sylvia's has given me depth and understandings to my feelings I've always had about the world and now know I was not off. Wish she were still with us to lead us further.

Heyecanla elime alıp okumaya başladığım kitap, *Kehanetler* değil, *Hristiyanlığa Övgüler* adıyla değişmeli. Gerçekten çok yorucu bir kitap.

Depressingly positive and hopeful. We're nowhere near capable of focusing on achieving anything.

Prophecy by Sylvia Browne details prophets and prophecies throughout history, what they mean, how they relate to the world today and the impact they have had on society.
From such famous prophets such as Nostradamus and George Washington, Sylvia offers her insight into their prophecies and the prophets lives, rationalizing and bringing logic to a subject that has been subjected to endless debate and critisism.
The second half of the book contains Sylvia's predictions for the future, such as medical breakthroughs including the cure for cancer, nuclear war and major events and changes to US and world politics (including the fate of the president elected in 2009), space exploration, pollution and the environment, and the discovery of the lost lands of Atlantis and Lemuria.
Overall it was a chilling, insightful and valuable read. Definitely a must-have for the library of anyone open to the concept of the paranormal sciences.
