Sylvia Browne
The late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries saw a surge of popular interest in psychic phenomena, spiritual mediumship, and New Age belief, with a number of public figures building substantial audiences around claims of supernatural perception. Sylvia Celeste Browne, born in Kansas City on October 19, 1936, became one of the more visible American personalities working within that space, combining roles as a writer, essayist, spiritual medium, and teacher over the course of her career.
Browne claimed to possess psychic abilities and to work as a medium, and she built her public presence across several platforms. She appeared regularly on both television and radio, bringing her claimed abilities to broad audiences in formats that ranged from talk show appearances to dedicated broadcast programs. Among her radio work, she hosted an hour-long show on Hay House Radio, giving her a recurring outlet to engage listeners directly. Alongside her broadcast presence, she worked as a writer and essayist, producing work in English for readers drawn to spiritual and psychic subjects. She also worked as a teacher, extending her reach beyond entertainment and publishing into more direct instruction.
Browne continued her work in these areas until her death on November 20, 2013, in San Jose. Her career drew both devoted followers and pointed skeptics — her claims to mediumship and psychic perception were never universally accepted, and her television appearances in particular attracted scrutiny from critics who questioned the accuracy of her readings. That ongoing tension between popular appeal and critical doubt was a consistent feature of her public profile throughout her years as a television and radio personality.

In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attack again ten years later, and then disappear completely.
It’s abundantly clear that we already have extraterrestrials living among us, and people are stepping forward who can communicate with them.
A spirit is, like, your mother, my dad, who’ve made it. They can come around, but they come around in a loving way because they’ve already made it to God. Most people make it.
