(Carolyn Myss, Ph.D., author of Anatomy of the Spirit) "I've personally witnessed [Browne] bring closure to distraught families, help police close cases, and open people's hearts to help them see the good within themselves."

Customer Reviews

Fascinating
This book is an intriguing view into the world of ghosts, spirits, and "reunions" with loved ones on the so-called "other side." Sylvia in the first chapter takes great pains to explain the differences between ghosts (who are "earthbound" for various reasons) as opposed to spirits who have made the transition. I found Sylvia's descriptions of ghosts she has encountered over the years to be fascinating, frightening, and intriguing at the same time. She points out that spirits will always be friendly, whereas a ghost may not be. Some of the stories are chilling, such as her encounters with Bela Lugosi and Elizabeth Short (aka the Black Dahlia). Others are sad, like her encounters with the Sunnyvale Toys R US ghost who still tends to the farm that was there 100 years ago. Or the servants at the Winchester Mystery House who tend to her house even though Sarah Winchester is long gone. I find it sad somehow these ghosts have not found their way to the other side.

I also found intriguing the stories Sylvia tells of "psychic imprints," places that still hold terrible memories of violence done long long ago. I also enjoyed the chapter on psychic attacks, and how to banish them. Having dealt with a handful of them, I'd like to see more on this subject in her future books.

I am disappointed at those who choose to call Sylvia a "fraud" or claim she is doing the "devil's work." Somehow if that were really true, I seriously doubt Sylvia would have done all this work for so many years and received letters from so many who have experienced contact with ghosts or spirits of their departed love ones. I don't always agree with everything Sylvia says, but I find enough of it resonates with me.

I've become more interested over the last several months in the spirit world and I found this book answered quite a few of my questions.

Thought Provoking......
Having read several of Sylvia Browne's books, this is another one that is an easy to read, entertaining account of Sylvia's experiences. She again gives readers her interpretations of hauntings, spirit visitation , imprints, and all kinds of stuff in between. This is territory that is revisited by Browne, but is presented in a way that is review rather than redundant. What was especially good, were the numerous accounts sent in by readers who share their unique experiences both good, bad and mysterious. Our life is so much more than we can perceive with our limited senses and it is a pleasure to read about these aspects beyond ordinary sight. According to Sylvia Browne, visits from the afterlife, in whatever form are absolutely normal in her world as well as in many others as evidenced from her letters. I appreciate her straightforward, honest and humorous style. She is not trying to prove something but rather deliver her experiences to the reader in an interesting and insightful manner. Some stories are chilling, some sad and some joyful. We all have had sometime in our life when we have questioned life after death and Sylvia delivers convincing truth through her words and the many stories of people who contributed to the book. A thought provoking account.

Another intruiguing book! Sylvia does it again.
This is the 8th book of Syliva's that I have read. Like those I have read before and the others who have given their reviews, I too could not put the book down. However, I read mine in one sitting (approximately 10 hours!)

I'm pleased that she finally expands on some of the things she briefly talked about in her other books. She goes into detail on what an "imprint" is as opposed to a "haunting". She also explains how to tell the difference between the two.

There are also some suprises in it, for she gives readings from some famous people who have passed on and also gives updates on what happened to some very famous people as well (some stayed earthbound, others crossed to the other side immediately etc.) So this was intruiging, and I wanted more!

For those of you who have not read any of Sylvia Browne's books and are thinking of purchasing this one, I would recomend "Life on the Other Side". There she explains in detail the process of what happens to our souls when we die. Since I already have read this book, I had no problem in following along with Visits from the Afterlife. However, for those who haven't read "Life on the Other Side", she gives a brief description of this process. Therefore, this book "stands alone".

My only real complaint is Sylvia's "bull doggedness" in complaining about our society's inncorrect perception of the Bible. [Sylvia practices gnostism, which is not to be confused with agnostic. She professes this to be what Christ was really about]. She had clearly stated that the Bible has been misinterpreted early on in the book, but she continues to harp on the subject well into later chapters. I grew weary of her arguments, and just wish she would focus more on the subject at hand, and not on peoples' beliefs. Mistaken as they may be, everyone has their own journey and must follow their own spiritual path to where ever it takes them. So relax Sylvia!

Overall, it was a good read, and I look forward to her new book coming out on Mother God (can't wait to see her arguments about this one).

I hope those who read this find it useful. Peace!
