About this audiobook
Sylvia Browne
Sylvia Browne grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and revealed her psychic gift at the age of three, announcing that her grandfather was dead (he was) and predicting she would have a baby sister in three years (she did). Browne began her professional career in 1973 with a small meeting in her home. Within a year Browne’s practice had grown so much that she incorporated the business as the Nirvana Foundation for Psychic Research. Browne was a true professional: she maintained required business licenses, was a member of a national consumer protection agency, and donated a large portion of her time to charitable organizations and also worked with police to investigate missing persons and other criminal cases. She consulted with police and FBI on several high-profile cases, including the disappearance of Chandra Levy and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. She was the president of her business, now known as the Sylvia Browne Corporation, Browne also founded her own church, the Society of Novus Spirit. Her most recent business venture was The Sylvia Browne Hypnosis Training Center, where her unique, proven hypnosis methods for personal and professional use are taught. With twenty-two New York Times bestsellers, Browne was an accomplished author of more than 46 books. She appeared regularly on the Montel Williams Show for seventeen years, and was a frequent guest on Larry King Live, traveled the country at sold-out lectures, and regularly appeared in the print media. She lived and practiced in California, where she passed in 2013.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Okay, okay, okay. So I picked up another Sylvia Browne book, even though the last one made me feel like she was whacking my head with a rolled-up newspaper like a disobedient puppy. ("You are DIVINE!!! God LOVES YOU!!!")I think I didn't like the other one because I felt like she was preaching. This book, however, was about the stuff that I like hearing her talk about: visits from the afterlife. (*ghostly sounding 'whoooo!! whoooo!'*) It was a thousand times more interesting. I mean, who doesn't want to find out what REALLY happened to Jimi Hendrix...directly from his spirit?She explains the difference between kinds of hauntings: spirits (dead who have been to the Other Side, are at peace, and pop back in to see what's going on every now and then), ghosts (dead who don't know they're dead, those who haven't been to the Other Side), and so forth. She talks about some famous cases that she participated in, as well as answering reader questions. I have to admit, I really like the way she writes. It's very readable and she's kind of a crotchety old bitty...I get a kick out of her.My favorite part in the whole book was when she described the Hall of Records on the Other Side. It sounded like a Greek Basilica, in which scrolls are kept. On these scrolls are all of our pasts and futures. Pick one up and not only can you read about an event, you'll be transported there to experience it.I just knew that there was a really big library in heaven.I wonder what sort of cataloging system they use. I hope it's not SuDoc.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Synopsis: Sylvia Browne uses her psychic ability to explore what she calls "The Other Side." She believes that when people die their spirt has three choices: 1. to follow the light to the other side and find peace and happiness, 2. follow the dark entity through the Left Door and be returned to another life to try to get things right, 3. to do nothing and stay in between as a ghost until it decides to follow a light. She says the difference between a ghost and spirit is that a ghost is "stuck" and confused, seeking some kind of closure. While, a spirit has already made the decision to follow the light to The Other Side and is at peace. A spirit can make itself known through scents and objects that remind a person of the spirit. Ghost can be visions and other mysterious happenings. Browne has had the ability to see and talk to ghosts and spirits since she was a young girl. She is asked to visit many places to find out more information on the hauntings and share her expertise. She mentions some famous celebrities (Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Jimi Hendrix) and famous hauntings (The Black Dahlia, Bela Lgosi's house) that she has visited. She also included reader's stories about experiences that they have had with the supernatural.I enjoy Browne and her co-writer Lindsay Harrison's writing style. They keep the book interesting and do not make it feel too "preachy," like I have heard some of her other books can be. I find the topic of after life and supernatural phenomena interesting anyway, but Browne gives a convincing account of her ability. An interesting note to readers: according to Browne, on the Other Side there is The Hall of Records "where our charts are meticulously housed and where every word of written history is preserved." As a spirit, you can find long written scrolls and read the great works!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I do love a story about hauntings and Im a big fan of Sylvia as a psychic. I have read a few of her books now and this one was my favorite. Who doesnt wanna read about famous ghosts like Bella Lugosi and Elizabeth Short right? This particular book I've read more than once and I can never seem to put it down. My only problem with it is the repitition and not of the stories themselves, but her talking about the fact that she's sorry for repeating it. All in all a great book and anyone that believes in ghosts or is fascinated by them should read this.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5God Bless Sylvia Browne...If it aint true it outta be...
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Dumb ass book thumbs down right away
Merry dolly christmas - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Nothing spectacular and I didn't particularly like that Sylvia Browne was not able to maintain any spiritual neutrality even though she claimed to be a gifted medium. It was too religiously biased for my liking. Especially, her suggestion that "those who didn't believe in god" immediately reincarnated without a chance of an eternal life as an untethered soul made it really difficult for me to take her seriously.
