From the Montel Williams Show, Nov. 26, 2003
WILLIAMS: Welcome, welcome, welcome, and thank you so much for joining us today. You know, today we'll be talking to people who say that they've had many unexplainable things that have happened to them in their lives, and they hope that they can get some answers right here today. From who? They want to get them from this person. Please welcome the author of the book--the new book "Visits from the Afterlife," world-renowned psychic Sylvia Browne. Welcome her to the show.
How are you? How are you? Have a seat. Sylvia, Sylvia, Sylvia, talk to me about this new book that you have out now. It's called--let's see, written with Lindsay Harrison, but it's "The Truth about Hauntings, Spirits and Reunions with Long Lost Loved Ones: Visits from the Afterlife."
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, it's ghost stories, and it's--because everybody is interested in survival of the soul. You know that.
WILLIAMS: Mm-hmm.
Ms. BROWNE: So over 50 years, I have compiled, not only me going, you know, ghost-hunting, but also people who have had remarkable reunions with loved ones and really authenticated ghost stories. You know, like, somebody just didn't say, 'Ooh, I saw something flit by my eye' here. No, no, we're talking about
real, real ghost stories.
WILLIAMS: And this is on a--in a bookstore right now near you?
Ms. BROWNE: Yes.
WILLIAMS: So people can run out and get this. This is--how many books have you written now? This is, like, number 27?
Ms. BROWNE: Twenty-eight.
WILLIAMS: I--I was guessing 27. But 28? You go, girl.
All right, well, let's talk a little bit, because I have a lot of guests who came here today that want to attach themselves to you, but not that way.
[...]
WILLIAMS: World-renowned psychic and author of the book "Visits from the Other Side" is here to answer questions again. Welcome Sylvia Browne to the show. The book. Before we meet some of our other guests, this lady has a que--you had a question for Sylvia. Yes, ma'am, go ahead.
Ms. BROWNE: Yes?
Unidentified Woman #1: I'd like to know, how is my mom?
Ms. BROWNE: In what way, honey?
Unidentified Woman #1: Well, I'd just like to know if she's with me.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah. Also, what was wrong with her throat?
Unidentified Woman #1: She smoked a lot.
Ms. BROWNE: No, in her chest.
WILLIAMS: She what?
Unidentified Woman #1: And she--she died of lung cancer.
Ms. BROWNE: Well, that's throat and chest.
Unidentified Woman #1: Mm-hmm.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, 'cause she's fine now.
[...]
WILLIAMS: Please welcome Michelle to the show. So the question is, why, all a sudden, has she just revealed herself to you? Is that the question?
MICHELLE: She comes to me in my dreams.
Ms. BROWNE: Telepathically.
MICHELLE: She doesn't speak to me, only eye-to-eye.
Ms. BROWNE: Telepathically. That's telepathy.
MICHELLE: And she's crying. After she leaves, this man comes that overpowers me, is like trying to--to push me out of the way. But he just stands there like this, and then she comes back crying. She didn't come that strong. She was in the house. We bought the house nine years ago. Once we broke that cement cinder block, that's when now she follows me around the house. I feel her in the house. I see her in the house. She goes to myself and my daughter. At first, I didn't believe what people in the neighborhood were trying to tell me, that so many different stories they make up, until I went to the town hall. And when I looked up who had lived in the house, there was a deed, Sylvia, that said 'Anna, ' and it said 'invalid deed.' And when I turned the page, it said, 'This deed is good. Real name Annabelle.' And when I saw that, I just totally...
Ms. BROWNE: Was the last name Crawford?
MICHELLE: Honestly, I don't remember. I just know that no matter where I go on our property, no matter what I do, she's there.
Ms. BROWNE: You've got to--you've got to get her to go home. You've got to tell her to go to the light, because she died of a terrible case of measles. You know, years ago, people used to die of measles, especially when they called them--the--when measles went internal with some children. And she died. And what she keeps looking for is--see, you remind her of her mother. So the only thing she has--because she's caught in space--I talk about that in my book. She 's caught in between.
MICHELLE: Right.
Ms. BROWNE: And the reason you--you say you can read her eyes--no, you--you're telepathically reading her. You see what I mean? She's saying, 'I want to go home.'
MICHELLE: Right.
Ms. BROWNE: Well, home means the other side.
MICHELLE: But why does she only come--like, my daughter, in her bedroom, she says she sees her in there.
Ms. BROWNE: Because that's where she was. Because that's was her room was.
MICHELLE: So that's why she goes in my daughter's room?
Ms. BROWNE: Sure.
MICHELLE: Not that I'll actually see her, but I know that she's there, and I 'll say, 'All right, that's enough, go away.'
Ms. BROWNE: Well, her mother's name was Sarah, and she was young. So it's under the Crawford name.
WILLIAMS: Tell her the whole thing, 'Go to the light.'
Ms. BROWNE: OK, you've got to say to her, 'Look, you don't--you don't belong to this world anymore. Your mama, Sarah, your daddy, Ed or Edward, are on the other side. Go through the tunnel and go home. This is not your home anymore.'
WILLIAMS: And as simple as that seems...
MICHELLE: Yeah.
Ms. BROWNE: It works.
WILLIAMS: ...it probably works.
MICHELLE: I feel like sitting here, like, she's right--like, she's always--like, I'm being suffocated constantly. Like, she's always...
Ms. BROWNE: No, she's not with you now.
MICHELLE: Like a little kid grabbing onto you.
Ms. BROWNE: But she's--she's--she's stuck in the house.
MICHELLE: Yeah.
[...]
WILLIAMS: Yes, ma'am, you had a question for Sylvia.
Unidentified Woman #2: Hi, Sylvia. I was very, very, very close with my grandfather, and he passed away almost eight years ago. And I have a three-year-old daughter, and she says his name. And I was just wondering if he's ever been around and...
Ms. BROWNE: Oh, you see, that's the marvelous thing, and I talk about that in the book, too. Kids say wonderful things. Especially, like you say, two and three. They'll tell you. I mean, my grandson has even come in and said, 'Old Poppy.' He never saw my dad. He knew who it was. Yeah. They'll tell you the name. They'll tell you what they say. Because you see, nobody's told them--the same thing as animals. You ever watch your animals stare in a corner, and you think, 'Ooh.' No. Ask him, say, 'What does he say?'
Unidentified Woman #2: Has he--has he seen him?
Ms. BROWNE: He's seen him.
Unidentified Woman #2: OK.
Ms. BROWNE: OK?
Unidentified Woman #2: Thank you.
[...]
Ms. BROWNE: But I will tell you one thing that you've done right. If you're ever going to catch a ghost, you should use infrared film, because you see, it's--it's heat-sensitive.
MANDY: Heat, mm-hmm.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah. But I swear to you, and I--I--you know, I know I'm psychic. I couldn't see anything on the film.
MANDY: Good. OK.
Ms. BROWNE: So, I mean, I could see leaves moving.
MANDY: Mm-hmm.
Ms. BROWNE: But I--I--I'm not saying that there isn't someone there because of the way the person died.
MANDY: Right. OK.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah.
MANDY: I also had something happen with my dryer. I thought that maybe I possibly had brought something home with me.
Ms. BROWNE: You don't bring anything--oh, if that was the case, my house would be loaded.
MANDY: OK. Good. Thank goodness.
WILLIAMS: You and me both. I hang around you.
Ms. BROWNE: I know.
WILLIAMS: Ghosts would be jumping to me.
Ms. BROWNE: You'd have ghosts left and right.
[...]
CECILIA: On April 6th, 2002, my daughter was found strangled in her apartment.
Ms. BROWNE: Oh.
CECILIA: I have no idea who did it. Her boyfriend found her. The day before, I had spoken to her, and everything was going fine. She and Eddie went out to eat. He went to work. Somewhere in the afternoon of Friday, April 5th, someone got into her apartment and murdered her.
WILLIAMS: Was there a problem? Was there a robbery? Was there foul...
CECILIA: There was no forced entry. She wasn't raped. There were no drugs in her system, and we're not sure if there was a robbery. There was some money taken, and her--her cell phone is missing. A camera's gone, but I'm on a mission that I have to find out who killed her and why they did it. I--I can't
rest until I find out who killed her.
Ms. BROWNE: His name was--he seemed to have been around that building as a--I don't know what you want to call it, a handyman or around that area or whatever. Didn't she ever mention to you about somebody watching her?
EDDIE: No, I...
CECILIA: No. How about you, Eddie?
EDDIE: No.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, because when he came to the door, he wanted to check on something, he said, thought she'd called him. Do you see what I'm saying?
CECILIA: Does he...
Ms. BROWNE: And so naturally, she'd open the door for somebody that she saw around.
CECILIA: Did she think he had come to do some work in the apartment?
Ms. BROWNE: That's what I just got through saying. He thought that she called, and of course, she knew him.
WILLIAMS: Well, he claimed that she called.
Ms. BROWNE: That she called.
CECILIA: Uh-huh.
WILLIAMS: Whoever this person is.
CECILIA: Yeah.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, so she thought maybe the manager or whatever had called. You see what I mean? But this guy worked around the place.
CECILIA: And why did he kill her?
Ms. BROWNE: Because he's psychotic, honey.
CECILIA: It wasn't a sexual atta--attack?
Ms. BROWNE: No, if it would have been, it would have been. No, it wasn't a sexual attack.
CECILIA: And what...
WILLIAMS: Was she--was she one of these--these--these random, in a sense, random in a sense of circumstance? He picked the victim and...
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, but see, what bothers me is I think he's picked other victims in--in other apartment buildings and not in and around that same. But you see what's a problem--'cause I know, I work with police. They won't let the family know that there is series of these.
WILLIAMS: Do you--were you aware of any other deaths in the area?
CECILIA: There was one in 1991 in Woodside.
WILLIAMS: Similar?
CECILIA: Similar. Similarly murdered. I see similar--I see there's common similarities in this...
WILLIAMS: There were similarities...
Ms. BROWNE: With the strangulation and everything else?
CECILIA: Yes, strangulation.
Ms. BROWNE: See, that's what I mean. And then what I'm afraid of, there's gonna be another one.
WILLIAMS: Do you think there has been more than just this?
Ms. BROWNE: This is an older--oh, yeah. If you remember, like Bundy. We don't know--you know, I mean, I went around Washington, and there was hundreds, I think he did. This is a very stocky older man, grayish hair, but thick build. I'd say he's in his 50s.
WILLIAMS: So you should check back and see if there were any part-time maintenance employees that had been--that doesn't necessarily mean that he had to be employed at the time that the murder took place.
Ms. BROWNE: He was balding, but he had a tuft of hair right here. It was funny-looking, you know, like a tuft, right here.
CECILIA: Uh-huh.
Ms. BROWNE: And he wore glasses that were half-framed.
CECILIA: OK.
WILLIAMS: Take that back to the police and see what you get.
CECILIA: I will. Thank you very much.
[...]
Unidentified Woman #3: Yes. I was just wondering if you can tell me what happened to my brother-in-law, Lenny. He was found dead on his honeymoon.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah. What was the--what was the problem with his neck? Because it looked like there was something that went on with the neck, too.
Unidentified Woman #3: To be honest with you, I don't know. I do know that the coroner said that the--the man who performed the autopsy said that it was miscellaneous at first.
WILLIAMS: You don't die of miscellaneous. What happened?
Unidentified Woman #3: It was miscellaneous death. And--because it happened...
WILLIAMS: What does that mean?
Unidentified Woman #3: I don't know. That's what we were trying to figure out.
Ms. BROWNE: But remember what I just said to you? These coroners drive me crazy.
Unidentified Woman #3: He...
WILLIAMS: M--cause of death, miscellaneous.
Ms. BROWNE: Yes.
Unidentified Woman #3: He was found down in the pool in the Hyatt Regency.
Ms. BROWNE: Someone really wanted him gone.
Unidentified Woman #3: That's--I always had that feeling.
Ms. BROWNE: Always. Yeah, I mean, two people, two guys wanted him gone.
Unidentified Woman #3: He's been dead for a long time now, and we've just been basically floating around Earth wondering what happened, why he would die on his honeymoon. You know, it took them--it took them a week for them to get his body back. It was just complete torture.
Ms. BROWNE: Oh, it...
Unidentified Woman #3: And no one really--like my husband, my--my mom--my mother-in-law, I'm sorry--my father-in-law, they're never going to be the same, just because there's so many unanswered questions, you know.
Ms. BROWNE: Well, tell them...
WILLIAMS: Does someone--does someone have a key to the an--to answering these questions, though? Is there someone that has enough information that may be able to help them out?
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, there is a--th--that knows a lot and there's also someone by the name of--that knows.
Unidentified Woman #3: OK.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, so they do know. But he just got in with a group of people that wanted to have him do something with drugs. Now the problem with that is, he knew too much.
Unidentified Woman #3: OK. Thank you very much.
Ms. BROWNE: Yes.
[...]
WILLIAMS: Please welcome Alicia to the show. Alicia, how are you? You know, this is a tragedy for all of us. What happened to you on September 11th?
ALICIA (Son, Nester, Was Killed In The September 11th Terrorist Attacks): September 11, I was on my way to work. I work for Cantor Fitzgerald, and I was on my way and I was detoured by going into voting, which is something I never do
only when leaving.
WILLIAMS: I'm sorry, you were detoured by what?
Ms. BROWNE: Voting.
ALICIA: Going to voting.
WILLIAMS: Voting, OK.
ALICIA: Yeah, something detoured me to a different side, then I wound up in between the two towers.
WILLIAMS: And normally, you would go in where?
ALICIA: I go in through Vesey Street. I never go in through the--through the middle. I always go to the side of the building.
WILLIAMS: She--and just as you walked up towards the buildings, what happened?
ALICIA: I was going in through the revolving doors, and all of a sudden, something grabbed me from the back of my collar and pulled me out. When I looked, it turned me around. When I looked back like that, there was nobody there with me.
Ms. BROWNE: No one there.
ALICIA: And it lured me out of the building and put me down by a doughnut shop that was near the front of 5 World Trade.
WILLIAMS: And at this exact same moment, what happened above you?
ALICIA: Above me, the plane already had hitten. I had my oldest son, Nester, which was always--perish, and 658 co-workers. I want to know who was that particular person that took me up...
Ms. BROWNE: An angel.
ALICIA: And it--I was trying to get back into--into the building. It just..
Ms. BROWNE: No, no. If you're not--see, that's what I keep saying. If you 're not meant to go, your angel, your guide, or a family member or whoever, all of the above, will just take you and just pull the--the hell out of you to get out of there.
[...]
Ms. BROWNE: Well, no, not unless you tell them to stop it. But, I mean, I'm surrounded by the ghosts of everybody. I mean, I walk around with a herd.
WILLIAMS: They can't do anything to you.
Ms. BROWNE: No.
WILLIAMS: But--but I--I guess, if--if you don't want that to continue, then you can stop it.
Ms. BROWNE: Then--then--yeah, then you can--you can just stop it.
LENA: They're around me all the time.
Ms. BROWNE: But to this day, I still keep a night light on, not because I'm afraid of the dark, it's my bedroom is so busy.
LENA: She...
WILLIAMS: Wait, is it busy because of--you know, some people can brag, you know what I'm saying?
Ms. BROWNE: Oh, no brag, just facts.
WILLIAMS: Oh, well. Is this--yes, I'm sorry. Go on.
LENA: Is--is she the one that's watching over my oldest son?
Ms. BROWNE: No. There is a female by the name of Andrea that watches over your son.
LENA: Wow.
Ms. BROWNE: That's a guide.
LENA: A guide.
Ms. BROWNE: I mean, she can come and go, but that's the main one.
LENA: My son was born with developmental delays. No one can figure out what 's wrong with him, why, how, when? Are they ever going to solve...
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, when he gets older, he'll just catch up to himself.
LENA: He will?
Ms. BROWNE: Some kids, you know, people that are as old as I am, if there's anybody in here that's as old--we grew up with people that were slow and with people--people that were a little silly. We all grew up and did something with ourselves. All of a sudden now, we have ADD, ADHD. I'm so fed up with it, I don't know what to do with myself.
LENA: Thank you so much.
WILLIAMS: All right. Yes, ma'am, in the red.
Unidentified Woman #4: Hi. I'd like to know what's going to happen with my son and his children.
WILLIAMS: What st--what?
Ms. BROWNE: ...(Unintelligible)
Unidentified Woman #4: With my son and his children.
Ms. BROWNE: In what way, honey?
Unidentified Woman #4: Custody, visitation.
Ms. BROWNE: Oh, he's going to get 50/50.
Unidentified Woman #4: He's got that right now. Is there anything else going to happen?
Ms. BROWNE: He won't get more than that.
Unidentified Woman #4: OK. Thank you.
Ms. BROWNE: He should thank God every night with a male that he got 50/50. Trust me.
Unidentified Woman #4: Yes, I know that, yes.
Ms. BROWNE: Been there, done that.
[...]
WILLIAMS: Please welcome Ann to the show. Where's Ann at? Ann, how are you? Tell us about this. You think you've had an encounter with an angel. Why don't you explain this to Sylvia?
ANN: Yes. Yes, Montel, all my life I've always felt blessed spiritually, and I've always sensed presence around me. And one day, I actually had the pleasure of meeting an angel. I was riding home in New Jer--on the New Jersey Turnpike, and I had a blowout in my car. And I was in the left-hand lane of the New Jersey Turnpike, and I just didn't know what to do. And my car was almost veering out of control, and I was saying, 'Please, God, help me, help me.' And all of a sudden, my car just went and ended up on the shoulder of the New Jersey Turnpike. And I still don't know how it got there. I had approached several people to see if they could help me and when I got--I actually managed to drive to an exit and had someone come out of their car, through--when I had approached the toll booth, the gentleman said, 'Oh, I don't know if I can help you, but just wait there.' And all of a sudden, there was a red car behind me and a gentleman got out and said to me, 'I'm here to help you.' Those were his exact words.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah. Angel.
ANN: Yes, and I--he started to talk to me about God and about children and different things in the world. And after he changed my tire, I went to turn around...
Ms. BROWNE: He was gone.
ANN: ...and he was gone.
Ms. BROWNE: I know.
ANN: And...
WILLIAMS: Wait, and then what happened?
ANN: And I went to the toll booth gentleman because I had--I had said to him, 'What happened? I didn't hear a key or a car start.' And I said to the gentleman, I said, 'What happened to the gentleman that was right behind me?' And he says, 'Lady, there was no red car.'
Ms. BROWNE: 'There was no gentleman behind you.'
WILLIAMS: So who fixed your tire?
ANN: Exactly. Exactly.
Ms. BROWNE: An angel. An angel.
ANN: An angel. And he was clear as I'm seeing you and Sylvia.
Ms. BROWNE: Oh, absolutely. They're touchable and everything.
ANN: Yes. And he was a shorter man, and he had curly brown hair.
Ms. BROWNE: And they can come in any form. You know the expression, 'Be very kind when you entertain strangers, because you could be entertaining an angel.'
ANN: Yes. And I--I sensed my whole life, I mean, I...
Ms. BROWNE: That you were charmed. Yeah.
ANN: ...was diagnosed with leukemia in 1998. I haven't had chemotherapy. I have lupus. I feel that I have been so fortunate throughout my life to have this presence around me.
Ms. BROWNE: Angels.
ANN: Angels around me. I wasn't able to--doctors told me I wasn't able to have a child, and I have a fabulous seven-year-old daughter now. And my question to you, Sylvia, if I may, I always feel like--and people have told me and you also have--that I have a special gift of healing. Is that true? And how do I go about explaining that to the world?
Ms. BROWNE: It's really--just do the laying on of hands. I hate these people that try to milk people for money. You could walk up to her and put your hands on top of her head and say, 'May the white light of the Holy Spirit, or God's light, come through me to her.' You see what I mean? Because she needs it for her stomach anyway, and--you know, and she'd be healed.
ANN: So I should pursue this gift that God...
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, it's no big deal. You don't have to do a big whoop-de-do.
ANN: Right. Right. Thank you.
[...]
WILLIAMS: Well, Sylvia's new book is called, "Visits from the Afterlife," and it's in a bookstore near you right now. You need to run out and get a copy of it. It explains a lot of those questions that a lot of us have about what happens when someone reaches the other side. I thank you so much for being here, like always. Wonderful.
You know what, I always do this to you before you leave. Tell me something, you know, the holiday season will be coming up soon. So I want you to tell us--is there anything we can expect in the world? Everybody in this country is probably afraid of the fact that there was going to be some terrorist thing that 's gonna take place. We went past September 11th, nothing happened. Are we looking out for something really bad to happen between now and Christmas?
Ms. BROWNE: No, we're not. The only thing I'm a little concerned about, and it's already happened, you know, because I made the prediction on your show, was the hurricane that was hitting the--you know, the--the Northeast--I mean, the
coast. But that's already happened. That's an act of God, but I don't see anything happening, no, no.
WILLIAMS: So we can rest a little bit.
Ms. BROWNE: We can rest and take a breather.
From the Montel Williams Show, Nov. 26, 2003

All right, well, let's talk a little bit, because I have a lot of guests who came here today that want to attach themselves to you, but not that way.
[...]
WILLIAMS: World-renowned psychic and author of the book "Visits from the Other Side" is here to answer questions again. Welcome Sylvia Browne to the show. The book. Before we meet some of our other guests, this lady has a que--you had a question for Sylvia. Yes, ma'am, go ahead.
Ms. BROWNE: Yes?
Unidentified Woman #1: I'd like to know, how is my mom?
Ms. BROWNE: In what way, honey?
Unidentified Woman #1: Well, I'd just like to know if she's with me.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah. Also, what was wrong with her throat?
Unidentified Woman #1: She smoked a lot.
Ms. BROWNE: No, in her chest.
WILLIAMS: She what?
Unidentified Woman #1: And she--she died of lung cancer.
Ms. BROWNE: Well, that's throat and chest.
Unidentified Woman #1: Mm-hmm.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, 'cause she's fine now.
[...]
WILLIAMS: Please welcome Michelle to the show. So the question is, why, all a sudden, has she just revealed herself to you? Is that the question?
MICHELLE: She comes to me in my dreams.
Ms. BROWNE: Telepathically.
MICHELLE: She doesn't speak to me, only eye-to-eye.
Ms. BROWNE: Telepathically. That's telepathy.
MICHELLE: And she's crying. After she leaves, this man comes that overpowers me, is like trying to--to push me out of the way. But he just stands there like this, and then she comes back crying. She didn't come that strong. She was in the house. We bought the house nine years ago. Once we broke that cement cinder block, that's when now she follows me around the house. I feel her in the house. I see her in the house. She goes to myself and my daughter. At first, I didn't believe what people in the neighborhood were trying to tell me, that so many different stories they make up, until I went to the town hall. And when I looked up who had lived in the house, there was a deed, Sylvia, that said 'Anna, ' and it said 'invalid deed.' And when I turned the page, it said, 'This deed is good. Real name Annabelle.' And when I saw that, I just totally...
Ms. BROWNE: Was the last name Crawford?
MICHELLE: Honestly, I don't remember. I just know that no matter where I go on our property, no matter what I do, she's there.
Ms. BROWNE: You've got to--you've got to get her to go home. You've got to tell her to go to the light, because she died of a terrible case of measles. You know, years ago, people used to die of measles, especially when they called them--the--when measles went internal with some children. And she died. And what she keeps looking for is--see, you remind her of her mother. So the only thing she has--because she's caught in space--I talk about that in my book. She 's caught in between.
MICHELLE: Right.
Ms. BROWNE: And the reason you--you say you can read her eyes--no, you--you're telepathically reading her. You see what I mean? She's saying, 'I want to go home.'
MICHELLE: Right.
Ms. BROWNE: Well, home means the other side.
MICHELLE: But why does she only come--like, my daughter, in her bedroom, she says she sees her in there.
Ms. BROWNE: Because that's where she was. Because that's was her room was.
MICHELLE: So that's why she goes in my daughter's room?
Ms. BROWNE: Sure.
MICHELLE: Not that I'll actually see her, but I know that she's there, and I 'll say, 'All right, that's enough, go away.'
Ms. BROWNE: Well, her mother's name was Sarah, and she was young. So it's under the Crawford name.
WILLIAMS: Tell her the whole thing, 'Go to the light.'
Ms. BROWNE: OK, you've got to say to her, 'Look, you don't--you don't belong to this world anymore. Your mama, Sarah, your daddy, Ed or Edward, are on the other side. Go through the tunnel and go home. This is not your home anymore.'
WILLIAMS: And as simple as that seems...
MICHELLE: Yeah.
Ms. BROWNE: It works.
WILLIAMS: ...it probably works.
MICHELLE: I feel like sitting here, like, she's right--like, she's always--like, I'm being suffocated constantly. Like, she's always...
Ms. BROWNE: No, she's not with you now.
MICHELLE: Like a little kid grabbing onto you.
Ms. BROWNE: But she's--she's--she's stuck in the house.
MICHELLE: Yeah.
[...]
WILLIAMS: Yes, ma'am, you had a question for Sylvia.
Unidentified Woman #2: Hi, Sylvia. I was very, very, very close with my grandfather, and he passed away almost eight years ago. And I have a three-year-old daughter, and she says his name. And I was just wondering if he's ever been around and...
Ms. BROWNE: Oh, you see, that's the marvelous thing, and I talk about that in the book, too. Kids say wonderful things. Especially, like you say, two and three. They'll tell you. I mean, my grandson has even come in and said, 'Old Poppy.' He never saw my dad. He knew who it was. Yeah. They'll tell you the name. They'll tell you what they say. Because you see, nobody's told them--the same thing as animals. You ever watch your animals stare in a corner, and you think, 'Ooh.' No. Ask him, say, 'What does he say?'
Unidentified Woman #2: Has he--has he seen him?
Ms. BROWNE: He's seen him.
Unidentified Woman #2: OK.
Ms. BROWNE: OK?
Unidentified Woman #2: Thank you.
[...]
Ms. BROWNE: But I will tell you one thing that you've done right. If you're ever going to catch a ghost, you should use infrared film, because you see, it's--it's heat-sensitive.
MANDY: Heat, mm-hmm.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah. But I swear to you, and I--I--you know, I know I'm psychic. I couldn't see anything on the film.
MANDY: Good. OK.
Ms. BROWNE: So, I mean, I could see leaves moving.
MANDY: Mm-hmm.
Ms. BROWNE: But I--I--I'm not saying that there isn't someone there because of the way the person died.
MANDY: Right. OK.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah.
MANDY: I also had something happen with my dryer. I thought that maybe I possibly had brought something home with me.
Ms. BROWNE: You don't bring anything--oh, if that was the case, my house would be loaded.
MANDY: OK. Good. Thank goodness.
WILLIAMS: You and me both. I hang around you.
Ms. BROWNE: I know.
WILLIAMS: Ghosts would be jumping to me.
Ms. BROWNE: You'd have ghosts left and right.

CECILIA: On April 6th, 2002, my daughter was found strangled in her apartment.
Ms. BROWNE: Oh.
CECILIA: I have no idea who did it. Her boyfriend found her. The day before, I had spoken to her, and everything was going fine. She and Eddie went out to eat. He went to work. Somewhere in the afternoon of Friday, April 5th, someone got into her apartment and murdered her.
WILLIAMS: Was there a problem? Was there a robbery? Was there foul...
CECILIA: There was no forced entry. She wasn't raped. There were no drugs in her system, and we're not sure if there was a robbery. There was some money taken, and her--her cell phone is missing. A camera's gone, but I'm on a mission that I have to find out who killed her and why they did it. I--I can't
rest until I find out who killed her.
Ms. BROWNE: His name was--he seemed to have been around that building as a--I don't know what you want to call it, a handyman or around that area or whatever. Didn't she ever mention to you about somebody watching her?
EDDIE: No, I...
CECILIA: No. How about you, Eddie?
EDDIE: No.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, because when he came to the door, he wanted to check on something, he said, thought she'd called him. Do you see what I'm saying?
CECILIA: Does he...
Ms. BROWNE: And so naturally, she'd open the door for somebody that she saw around.
CECILIA: Did she think he had come to do some work in the apartment?
Ms. BROWNE: That's what I just got through saying. He thought that she called, and of course, she knew him.
WILLIAMS: Well, he claimed that she called.
Ms. BROWNE: That she called.
CECILIA: Uh-huh.
WILLIAMS: Whoever this person is.
CECILIA: Yeah.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, so she thought maybe the manager or whatever had called. You see what I mean? But this guy worked around the place.
CECILIA: And why did he kill her?
Ms. BROWNE: Because he's psychotic, honey.
CECILIA: It wasn't a sexual atta--attack?
Ms. BROWNE: No, if it would have been, it would have been. No, it wasn't a sexual attack.
CECILIA: And what...
WILLIAMS: Was she--was she one of these--these--these random, in a sense, random in a sense of circumstance? He picked the victim and...
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, but see, what bothers me is I think he's picked other victims in--in other apartment buildings and not in and around that same. But you see what's a problem--'cause I know, I work with police. They won't let the family know that there is series of these.
WILLIAMS: Do you--were you aware of any other deaths in the area?
CECILIA: There was one in 1991 in Woodside.
WILLIAMS: Similar?
CECILIA: Similar. Similarly murdered. I see similar--I see there's common similarities in this...
WILLIAMS: There were similarities...
Ms. BROWNE: With the strangulation and everything else?
CECILIA: Yes, strangulation.
Ms. BROWNE: See, that's what I mean. And then what I'm afraid of, there's gonna be another one.
WILLIAMS: Do you think there has been more than just this?
Ms. BROWNE: This is an older--oh, yeah. If you remember, like Bundy. We don't know--you know, I mean, I went around Washington, and there was hundreds, I think he did. This is a very stocky older man, grayish hair, but thick build. I'd say he's in his 50s.
WILLIAMS: So you should check back and see if there were any part-time maintenance employees that had been--that doesn't necessarily mean that he had to be employed at the time that the murder took place.
Ms. BROWNE: He was balding, but he had a tuft of hair right here. It was funny-looking, you know, like a tuft, right here.
CECILIA: Uh-huh.
Ms. BROWNE: And he wore glasses that were half-framed.
CECILIA: OK.
WILLIAMS: Take that back to the police and see what you get.
CECILIA: I will. Thank you very much.

Unidentified Woman #3: Yes. I was just wondering if you can tell me what happened to my brother-in-law, Lenny. He was found dead on his honeymoon.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah. What was the--what was the problem with his neck? Because it looked like there was something that went on with the neck, too.
Unidentified Woman #3: To be honest with you, I don't know. I do know that the coroner said that the--the man who performed the autopsy said that it was miscellaneous at first.
WILLIAMS: You don't die of miscellaneous. What happened?
Unidentified Woman #3: It was miscellaneous death. And--because it happened...
WILLIAMS: What does that mean?
Unidentified Woman #3: I don't know. That's what we were trying to figure out.
Ms. BROWNE: But remember what I just said to you? These coroners drive me crazy.
Unidentified Woman #3: He...
WILLIAMS: M--cause of death, miscellaneous.
Ms. BROWNE: Yes.
Unidentified Woman #3: He was found down in the pool in the Hyatt Regency.
Ms. BROWNE: Someone really wanted him gone.
Unidentified Woman #3: That's--I always had that feeling.
Ms. BROWNE: Always. Yeah, I mean, two people, two guys wanted him gone.
Unidentified Woman #3: He's been dead for a long time now, and we've just been basically floating around Earth wondering what happened, why he would die on his honeymoon. You know, it took them--it took them a week for them to get his body back. It was just complete torture.
Ms. BROWNE: Oh, it...
Unidentified Woman #3: And no one really--like my husband, my--my mom--my mother-in-law, I'm sorry--my father-in-law, they're never going to be the same, just because there's so many unanswered questions, you know.
Ms. BROWNE: Well, tell them...
WILLIAMS: Does someone--does someone have a key to the an--to answering these questions, though? Is there someone that has enough information that may be able to help them out?
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, there is a--th--that knows a lot and there's also someone by the name of--that knows.
Unidentified Woman #3: OK.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, so they do know. But he just got in with a group of people that wanted to have him do something with drugs. Now the problem with that is, he knew too much.
Unidentified Woman #3: OK. Thank you very much.
Ms. BROWNE: Yes.

WILLIAMS: Please welcome Alicia to the show. Alicia, how are you? You know, this is a tragedy for all of us. What happened to you on September 11th?
ALICIA (Son, Nester, Was Killed In The September 11th Terrorist Attacks): September 11, I was on my way to work. I work for Cantor Fitzgerald, and I was on my way and I was detoured by going into voting, which is something I never do
only when leaving.
WILLIAMS: I'm sorry, you were detoured by what?
Ms. BROWNE: Voting.
ALICIA: Going to voting.
WILLIAMS: Voting, OK.
ALICIA: Yeah, something detoured me to a different side, then I wound up in between the two towers.
WILLIAMS: And normally, you would go in where?
ALICIA: I go in through Vesey Street. I never go in through the--through the middle. I always go to the side of the building.
WILLIAMS: She--and just as you walked up towards the buildings, what happened?
ALICIA: I was going in through the revolving doors, and all of a sudden, something grabbed me from the back of my collar and pulled me out. When I looked, it turned me around. When I looked back like that, there was nobody there with me.
Ms. BROWNE: No one there.
ALICIA: And it lured me out of the building and put me down by a doughnut shop that was near the front of 5 World Trade.
WILLIAMS: And at this exact same moment, what happened above you?
ALICIA: Above me, the plane already had hitten. I had my oldest son, Nester, which was always--perish, and 658 co-workers. I want to know who was that particular person that took me up...
Ms. BROWNE: An angel.
ALICIA: And it--I was trying to get back into--into the building. It just..
Ms. BROWNE: No, no. If you're not--see, that's what I keep saying. If you 're not meant to go, your angel, your guide, or a family member or whoever, all of the above, will just take you and just pull the--the hell out of you to get out of there.
[...]
Ms. BROWNE: Well, no, not unless you tell them to stop it. But, I mean, I'm surrounded by the ghosts of everybody. I mean, I walk around with a herd.
WILLIAMS: They can't do anything to you.
Ms. BROWNE: No.
WILLIAMS: But--but I--I guess, if--if you don't want that to continue, then you can stop it.
Ms. BROWNE: Then--then--yeah, then you can--you can just stop it.
LENA: They're around me all the time.
Ms. BROWNE: But to this day, I still keep a night light on, not because I'm afraid of the dark, it's my bedroom is so busy.
LENA: She...
WILLIAMS: Wait, is it busy because of--you know, some people can brag, you know what I'm saying?
Ms. BROWNE: Oh, no brag, just facts.
WILLIAMS: Oh, well. Is this--yes, I'm sorry. Go on.
LENA: Is--is she the one that's watching over my oldest son?
Ms. BROWNE: No. There is a female by the name of Andrea that watches over your son.
LENA: Wow.
Ms. BROWNE: That's a guide.
LENA: A guide.
Ms. BROWNE: I mean, she can come and go, but that's the main one.
LENA: My son was born with developmental delays. No one can figure out what 's wrong with him, why, how, when? Are they ever going to solve...
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, when he gets older, he'll just catch up to himself.
LENA: He will?
Ms. BROWNE: Some kids, you know, people that are as old as I am, if there's anybody in here that's as old--we grew up with people that were slow and with people--people that were a little silly. We all grew up and did something with ourselves. All of a sudden now, we have ADD, ADHD. I'm so fed up with it, I don't know what to do with myself.
LENA: Thank you so much.
WILLIAMS: All right. Yes, ma'am, in the red.
Unidentified Woman #4: Hi. I'd like to know what's going to happen with my son and his children.
WILLIAMS: What st--what?
Ms. BROWNE: ...(Unintelligible)
Unidentified Woman #4: With my son and his children.
Ms. BROWNE: In what way, honey?
Unidentified Woman #4: Custody, visitation.
Ms. BROWNE: Oh, he's going to get 50/50.
Unidentified Woman #4: He's got that right now. Is there anything else going to happen?
Ms. BROWNE: He won't get more than that.
Unidentified Woman #4: OK. Thank you.
Ms. BROWNE: He should thank God every night with a male that he got 50/50. Trust me.
Unidentified Woman #4: Yes, I know that, yes.
Ms. BROWNE: Been there, done that.

WILLIAMS: Please welcome Ann to the show. Where's Ann at? Ann, how are you? Tell us about this. You think you've had an encounter with an angel. Why don't you explain this to Sylvia?
ANN: Yes. Yes, Montel, all my life I've always felt blessed spiritually, and I've always sensed presence around me. And one day, I actually had the pleasure of meeting an angel. I was riding home in New Jer--on the New Jersey Turnpike, and I had a blowout in my car. And I was in the left-hand lane of the New Jersey Turnpike, and I just didn't know what to do. And my car was almost veering out of control, and I was saying, 'Please, God, help me, help me.' And all of a sudden, my car just went and ended up on the shoulder of the New Jersey Turnpike. And I still don't know how it got there. I had approached several people to see if they could help me and when I got--I actually managed to drive to an exit and had someone come out of their car, through--when I had approached the toll booth, the gentleman said, 'Oh, I don't know if I can help you, but just wait there.' And all of a sudden, there was a red car behind me and a gentleman got out and said to me, 'I'm here to help you.' Those were his exact words.
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah. Angel.
ANN: Yes, and I--he started to talk to me about God and about children and different things in the world. And after he changed my tire, I went to turn around...
Ms. BROWNE: He was gone.
ANN: ...and he was gone.
Ms. BROWNE: I know.
ANN: And...
WILLIAMS: Wait, and then what happened?
ANN: And I went to the toll booth gentleman because I had--I had said to him, 'What happened? I didn't hear a key or a car start.' And I said to the gentleman, I said, 'What happened to the gentleman that was right behind me?' And he says, 'Lady, there was no red car.'
Ms. BROWNE: 'There was no gentleman behind you.'
WILLIAMS: So who fixed your tire?
ANN: Exactly. Exactly.
Ms. BROWNE: An angel. An angel.
ANN: An angel. And he was clear as I'm seeing you and Sylvia.
Ms. BROWNE: Oh, absolutely. They're touchable and everything.
ANN: Yes. And he was a shorter man, and he had curly brown hair.
Ms. BROWNE: And they can come in any form. You know the expression, 'Be very kind when you entertain strangers, because you could be entertaining an angel.'
ANN: Yes. And I--I sensed my whole life, I mean, I...
Ms. BROWNE: That you were charmed. Yeah.
ANN: ...was diagnosed with leukemia in 1998. I haven't had chemotherapy. I have lupus. I feel that I have been so fortunate throughout my life to have this presence around me.
Ms. BROWNE: Angels.
ANN: Angels around me. I wasn't able to--doctors told me I wasn't able to have a child, and I have a fabulous seven-year-old daughter now. And my question to you, Sylvia, if I may, I always feel like--and people have told me and you also have--that I have a special gift of healing. Is that true? And how do I go about explaining that to the world?
Ms. BROWNE: It's really--just do the laying on of hands. I hate these people that try to milk people for money. You could walk up to her and put your hands on top of her head and say, 'May the white light of the Holy Spirit, or God's light, come through me to her.' You see what I mean? Because she needs it for her stomach anyway, and--you know, and she'd be healed.
ANN: So I should pursue this gift that God...
Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, it's no big deal. You don't have to do a big whoop-de-do.
ANN: Right. Right. Thank you.

WILLIAMS: Well, Sylvia's new book is called, "Visits from the Afterlife," and it's in a bookstore near you right now. You need to run out and get a copy of it. It explains a lot of those questions that a lot of us have about what happens when someone reaches the other side. I thank you so much for being here, like always. Wonderful.
You know what, I always do this to you before you leave. Tell me something, you know, the holiday season will be coming up soon. So I want you to tell us--is there anything we can expect in the world? Everybody in this country is probably afraid of the fact that there was going to be some terrorist thing that 's gonna take place. We went past September 11th, nothing happened. Are we looking out for something really bad to happen between now and Christmas?
Ms. BROWNE: No, we're not. The only thing I'm a little concerned about, and it's already happened, you know, because I made the prediction on your show, was the hurricane that was hitting the--you know, the--the Northeast--I mean, the
coast. But that's already happened. That's an act of God, but I don't see anything happening, no, no.
WILLIAMS: So we can rest a little bit.
Ms. BROWNE: We can rest and take a breather.
