Sylvia Brown On Montel CRAZY!

xray45 · 17th September 2004, 05:45 AM

Hello,
This is similar to the post about Sylvia but I wanted this read and not get lost in the other replys so i thought I post another post.
This is not word for word but I'll give you the gist of what she said.
WARNING!!! this is the most ridiculous thing she has ever said.

A lady in the audience had a 24 foot pool that was 4 feet deep. they were in the pool cleaning it one evening until about 9:30 pm. They went into the house ect. The next morning they went outside and seen that most of the water from the pool was gone. All of the water except about a foot in the bottom of the pool.
They looked for leaks and any water on the ground ect. and could find no evidence of were the water went. They had since filled up the pool again and no water has been gone since so a leak according to then has been ruled out.

She then asked Sylvia if she knew where the water went?

Sylvia said that a space ship, ufo, alien (can't remember exact wording) came down and sucked out the water. They needed water.

Montel recalled about a time where Sylvia mentioned that we were going to have an "encounter" soon. She then claimed Montel already had one and made a reference to the fact that aliens were already in his audience.

She probably meant illegal aliens from another country.

Anyway, hopefully someone that has a tape of the show can give a word for word transcript for it. This part was almost at the end of the show.

What's amazing is the lady believed it because she mentioned that her husband was saying the same thing.

Thanks for reading.

xray45 · 17th September 2004, 06:00 AM

i was thinking about the ufo sucking the water out of the pool thing that Sylvia talked about and thought,
this earth is covered with huge amounts of water, oceans, lakes ect. why would the yget or want water from a 24 foot pool in someones back yard. Compared to the entire world and all other water that is like a needle in a haystack.

Oh, I forgot, Aliens need chlorinated water. They don't have the technology to clean dirty water. Plus, Zoltar mentioned to me that the chlorine can be taken out and used for fuel.
He said it was like a vaction to come here and get water from pools. It seems that they only needed it once because no other pool water has come up missing. I better go check out my pool make sure ti has water.

Thanks again for reading.

I can attest to the truth of this statement.
About a 2 years ago I woke to find small green creatures in my yard running through the sprinklers. I asked them politely if they realized what time it was and told them to keep it down because it might wake my neighbors. They told me that they hadnâ€™t realized it was so late because they werenâ€™t adjusted to the time change after traveling to Earth from Mars. They apologized and before leaving asked if they could borrow my garden hose. I said "Do you need it to fuel your UFO with water?". They responded that they didn't. Their hose had a leak in it and they had wanted to use it on their Slip â€˜n Slide over the weekend. They then apologized again for waking me, probed me, and promised to return the hose by Monday. I have yet to see it again.

Ashles · 17th September 2004, 07:14 AM

Call me old fashioned, but if someone claims that aliens steal pool water, claims that a famous TV celebrity has met aliens, and then looks around and sees aliens in the crowd of people watching her...

wouldn't these normally be grounds for committing someone to some form of secure clinic?

I mean she seriously sounds like she has lost what little grasp of reality she ever had.

And yet people STILL listen to this woman?

Maybe she is a sarcastic sceptic. Maybe she's trying to see how far she can with her claims before people actually stop listening to her.

By the looks of it at the moment it really appears she could tell some of these audience members that they themselves were aliens, and they would start saying "Yes, that explains everything. I must be an alien".

apoger · 17th September 2004, 07:33 AM

This was in the USA, right?
I certainly hope the aliens left a tip. Otherwise they may not get good service here next time!

Ashles · 17th September 2004, 07:45 AM

Bulgo: What does this little red light on our spaceship dashboard mean?
Warg: Quick! We need some water for the X-4 Glugon propulsions drive
Bulgo: What about that blue-green planet over there
Warg: Earth, perfect. That'll have water
Bulgo: What about those big oceans
Warg: Nah, too much salt
Bulgo: What about those mountain rivers?
Warg: Nah, too pure
Bulgo: That lake?
Warg: Nah, incorrect organic makeup. Too many fish.
Bulgo: Wow you're picky
Warg: There, that's it! That's the one! The Johnson's pool, 54 Crescent Drive, Lancaster, Illinois
Bulgo: Has it got the correct chemical makeup?
Warg: It's perfect - water, chlorine, leaves, urine from several different humans, dog saliva, Dorito crumbs and grass
Bulgo: Shall we stop in and visit Sylvia while we're here?
Warg: No way. She's getting a bit weird these days.

This doesn't make sense at all.

The movie Signs showed that aliens are allergic to water or something.

That's why I built a moat around my bed at home.

Claus, check your email for the transcript of the entire show. Here's the relevant section:

WILLIAMS: Where is Carla at? Carla.

Ms. BROWNE: There's Carla right there.

WILLIAMS: Carla, Carla, talk to me for a second. Darling, you're going to tell me you have a swimming pool...

CARLA: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: ...an above-ground swimming pool.

CARLA: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: Out back side of your house.

CARLA: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: How big is it?

CARLA: It's 24X4 feet.

WILLIAMS: Four feet deep.

CARLA: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: Holds how many gallons of water?

CARLA: Eighteen thousand.

WILLIAMS: You went to bed one night, swimming pool's full.

CARLA: Mm-hmm. We were actually in the pool swimming.

WILLIAMS: Woke up--you were in the pool swimming?

CARLA: Till about--till about 9:30, cleaning in the pool, and I was in it, I get in it and clean the pool.

WILLIAMS: You were splashing water out.

CARLA: Mm-hmm. Our children, my husband and I.

WILLIAMS: Doing cannonballs and all that stuff.

CARLA: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: Weren't you--OK. So now you get done, you go in the house. You walk back out at 7 in the morning...

CARLA: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: ...8 in the morning and what do you see?

CARLA: There was only about a couple of inches, about a half a foot, a foot deep of water, all the water was gone.

WILLIAMS: And the grass around the pool was soaking wet?

CARLA: There was not a drop. My husband and I and our children were amazed. We all walked around the pool and looked under it, because you can get to the--all around the pool you can get underneath the porch and see. There was no water. No sign of water whatsoever. We don't know what happened.

WILLIAMS: You couldn't pick it up and take a look underneath, make sure there was a leak in the middle?

CARLA: No. No. We thought maybe it had a leak in it, but we had just replaced the liner. We'd only been living there about two years.

Ms. BROWNE: Now, you're really going to--you're going to really worry about me after I tell you this.

WILLIAMS: I'm waiting for this one, boy. If you tell me a whole bunch of ghosties came...

Ms. BROWNE: It's an outer space thing.

WILLIAMS: What?

Ms. BROWNE: This was an outer space thing.

CARLA: I can't believe you're saying that. That's so--that is funny, because that's what my husband and everyone joked about and they...

Ms. BROWNE: No, it's true. They wanted the water and they siphoned it up.

CARLA: We had a UFO touch down. That's what...

Ms. BROWNE: I know I am perfectly--I'm not running a temperature, I am perfectly--see?

WILLIAMS: OK. She's all there. So aliens flew over, stuck that hose and say `yo,' right? I--I dare you come by my house and stick a hose out of your ship at me. Huh?

CARLA: Yeah. Because it didn't have a hole in it. After about a week, the rain--we live in Florida, we had a lot of rain in that August, it started filling back up and my husband and I decided to fill it back up with water, and it's not leaked a drop since.

Ms. BROWNE: It hasn't gone since.

CARLA: Never was no odor around.

Ms. BROWNE: If it was leaking, it would have gone again.

CARLA: Yeah. There--no, it's not a lea--it's not a hole by no means.

WILLIAMS: You say that we are going to actually have an encounter.

Ms. BROWNE: We do all the time.

WILLIAMS: I want to see one!

Ms. BROWNE: You know, you've had some in your audience.

WILLIAMS: I might believe that!

Let me take a little break. We'll be back right after this.

Chanileslie · 17th September 2004, 08:57 AM

What I find amazing, is these aliens need water, so they travel light years to get to our planet and instead of siphoning off a lake or some sort of clean source of water, they choose to siphon off a swimming pool full of chlorinated water that people have been cavorting in. Amazing! And to think that 18 thousand gallons of chorinated water is enough to solve their water problems. Some people are more stupid than mud - oh wait, I'm sorry, it must be the aliens that are stupid because they took the water.....

Dragonrock · 17th September 2004, 09:09 AM

When I was growing up we had an above-ground pool. The filter was on the ground next to it and had two hoses, one to draw water and one to return it, that went up from the filter, over the side, and down into the water. Several times a year our dogs would knock over the filter which would disconnect the hoses that were full of water. The hoses would then siphon out the water in just a few hours. It never occured to me to assume that aleens was steelin' ma water!

Some day, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a(nother) service for me. But uh, until that day -- accept this justice as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.

Ehh....or something like that....

BTW, I emailed Randi about the transcript, so no need for others to do it. It really is a classic....!!

FFed · 17th September 2004, 09:59 AM

I just found out Sylvia is coming to my old university in Vancouver.

http://www.canada.com/vancouver/arou...b-519fc14c8a70

Ashles · 17th September 2004, 10:02 AM

Great quote from that article:

Quote:

By the "other side," Browne means the world of spirits. She calls this side, where Bush will be re-elected, "hell,"

And suddenly I find myself in agreement with Sylvia.

Remarkable!

Ashles · 17th September 2004, 10:04 AM

Another one:

Quote:

"Honey, I don't give a damn what they say," said Browne. "There are skeptics for everything, even journalism."

There are people who question the existence of journalism?

Wow, that's sceptical!

Gastric ReFlux · 17th September 2004, 10:10 AM

Wow, Browne predicted Florida would get hit by a hurricane this year. 3 times now, right? That's just eerie. And since Browne knows the answer to every question, it's time for Stephen Hawking to write up a few questions stumping him to get answered by Browne.

Quote:

Browne also cited a prediction she made earlier this year that Florida would be damaged by a hurricane, as further validation of her psychic abilities.

Can I be sceptical of Browne's existence then? Surely no one that believes what she believes would ever be on national television. I propose that she is simply a shared hallucination.

patnray · 17th September 2004, 02:51 PM

By my calculation a swimming pool 24 feet in diameter and 4 feet deep would hold 13529 gallons if filled to the top. Their swimming pool must have a connection to another dimension if they put 18,000 gallons of water in it.... That must be where the water went: someone forgot to close the door to the 5th dimension..

That idea scares the bejeezes out of me. It is impossible to go so far that everyone will stop listening to her.

Soapy Sam · 17th September 2004, 03:36 PM

If the pool is circular, 12ft radius by 4 feet deep is 1809ft3 or 13530 of your quaint US Gallons.

She said 18,000?

Edit- Oops! Patnray got there way ahead of me.

Can I be sceptical of Browne's existence then? Surely no one that believes what she believes would ever be on national television. I propose that she is simply a shared hallucination.

Their swimming pool must have a connection to another dimension if they put 18,000 gallons of water in it.... That must be where the water went: someone forgot to close the door to the 5th dimension..

Maybe she's trying to see how far she can with her claims before people actually stop listening to her. That idea scares the bejeezes out of me. It is impossible to go so far that everyone will stop listening to her.
