Unveiling the Shocking Secrets of the ‘World’s Worst Psychic’ and Her Unbelievable Failed Predictions

Ever wondered if someone could be so spectacularly wrong that you’d want to ask, “How did you even predict that?” Well, meet Sylvia Browne, the so-called ‘world’s worst psychic’ whose track record was nothing short of eye-poppingly disastrous. Between 1999 and 2004, this clairvoyant didn’t just miss the mark – she practically invented whole new targets to miss. Her notoriously off-the-wall predictions even sparked one of her ex-husbands to launch a full-on exposé at stopsylvia.com, revealing some eyebrow-raising behind-the-scenes drama. When confronted by her former flame about spinning yarns to folks desperate for answers, her unapologetic quip was, “Screw ’em,” as if that sealed the deal on her legitimacy. But hey, throwing shade ain’t the half of it – from phantom Japanese towns to missing kids who were very much alive (or otherwise), her wild guesses left a trail of heartbreak and disbelief. How does someone earn such a dubious title, and what can we learn from her utterly bonkers blunders? If you’re itching to dive deeper into this psychic circus, you’re in for one heck of a tale.

A clairvoyant who was once condemned as being the ‘world’s worst psychic’ made some pretty horrific predictions that she got insanely wrong.

Sylvia Browne became infamous after making a series of forecasts between 1999 and 2004 – with one particular one sparking one of her four ex-husbands to conduct a reveal-all interview with a website that was called stopsylvia.com.

Gary Dufresne, the first former lover of her failed marriages, who she divorced a year prior to having become a professional psychic, accused her of being a fraud – citing an incident that cropped up during a tarot reading.

He claimed to have asked her: “Sylvia, how can you tell people this kind of stuff? You know it’s not true, and some of these people actually are probably going to believe it.”

To which he claims she replied: “Screw ’em. Anybody who believes this stuff ought to be taken.”‘

In response to Dufresne, she labeled him ‘a liar and dark soul entity’.

Six-year-old Opal Jo Jennings is ‘not dead’

While appearing as a guest on The Montel Williams Show, the host had callers phone in to ask Browne questions. That’s when the grandma of six-year-old Opal Jo Jennings, the victim of a kidnapping in Texas, asked her for her help.

She was asked: “I can’t stand this. I need your help, Sylvia. Where is Opal? Where is she?”

“She’s not dead,” Browne boldly replied.

“But what bothers me – now I’ve never heard of this before – but she was taken and put into some kind of a slavery thing and taken into Japan. The place is Kukouro.”

The youngster’s corpse was later discovered in Texas with pathologists finding that she was killed on the night of her abduction.

It also emerged that the place in Japan doesn’t even exist.

Holly Krewson’s a stripper

Then again, while appearing on the same talk show in 2002, Browne was asked about the whereabouts of missing Holly Krewson – a woman who vanished in the ’90s – by her mom.

She insisted that she went to work as a stripper in Hollywood, but four years later her dental records were used to match human remains that were found in San Diego, back in 1996.

11-year-old Shawn Hornbeck is dead

In 2003, the parents of 11-year-old Shawn Hornbeck asked the psychic of her whereabouts just four months after he went missing in Missouri.

They were told by The Montel Williams Show guest that the schoolboy was abducted by a dark-skinned man with dreadlocks and that he was dead.

Four years later, a 15-year-old Shawn was found alive in the apartment of his captor, Michael J. Devlin – who is notably white with short hair.

It was the teen’s discovery that sparked her ex-husband Dufresne to speak out.

Amanda Berry’s ‘not alive honey’

Then in 2004, another mom phoned into the chat show wanting answers for exactly where her daughter was.

That woman was Louwana Miller and she spoke with Browne regarding Amanda Berry’s disappearance.

The clairvoyant told her that her child was ‘not alive, honey’ before adding: “Your daughter’s not the kind who wouldn’t call.”

Tragically, Miller passed away the following year of heart failure, having said she was 98 percent sure that Browne was telling the truth.

In reality, Amanda had been abducted by the wicked Ariel Castro the day before her 17th birthday in April 2003 – and was chained up in his house alongside two other teens until May 2013 when she finally escaped.
