This is what Sylvia Browne just posted to her Facebook page...
As I stated earlier, I am so relieved that Amanda Berry and the other women have been found and are safe with their families. Of course I do feel very bad telling Amanda's mother on the show that I believed her daughter was not alive, and I'm so so glad that I was wrong. I had a vision of her being held underwater, but I had interpreted it to have a different meaning. She was not being held under water but was being held down.
I want to make this clear for all of the people who are upset about my prediction on the show that day. Most people writing or posting about this story have not watched the show. For those of you who want to know what I did say to her mother, following are my exact words from the transcript.
Amanda's mother asked me asked me if I was ever wrong and this is what I said to her.
Only God is right all the time but of course Im wrong, Browne responded. But after 50 years of doing this work, Id better be more right than wrong. I always say I hope Im wrong. When it comes to this, I hope Im wrong.

Even when she is shown to be completely wrong she still has to pretend she really did have a psychic vision.

What we have is a bullshit artist desperate to preserve what's left of her credibility.

Not that she had any to begin with in my book, but now she's desperate to make it sound like she wasn't completely, utterly and totally 100% fucking wrong when it counted.

The scammer got busted and is so desperate to try and hang on to the dipshits that believe her crap.
Shame on anyone who falls for "psychics" like this grifter.

Conspiracy theorists, when proven wrong, go on about how that proof is just part of some greater conspiracy.
Psychics, when proven wrong, go on about how they misread something but were still in essence correct.

That's how I have always felt in regards to Sylvia.
