Baba Vanga, the blind mystic from Bulgaria, is famous for her predictions about world events. Born in 1911, she is known for supposedly seeing the future despite losing her eyesight as a child. Many believe some of her predictions have already come true, while others remain a mystery.
Predictions That Came True
- Kursk Submarine Disaster (2000)
Baba Vanga predicted, “Kursk will be covered in water, and the whole world will weep over it.” People thought this was about the Russian city Kursk, but in 2000, a submarine named Kursk sank, killing all 118 crew members. Many think this was what she meant. - September 11 Attacks (2001)
She warned that “American brethren will fall after being attacked by steel birds.” This prediction is often linked to the September 11 attacks, where planes (“steel birds”) struck the World Trade Center in New York.
- The Rise of ISIS
Baba Vanga predicted a “great Muslim war.” Some believe this refers to the rise of ISIS, a militant group that has caused turmoil around the world. - Brexit (2016)
In the 1970s, she predicted a major crisis in Europe. Many believe this could be about Brexit, when the UK voted to leave the European Union, creating waves of political change across Europe. - Barack Obama’s Election
Baba Vanga predicted that the 44th U.S. president would be African American. When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, many thought this prediction came true. She also mentioned that he would face an economic crisis, which matched the recession during his presidency.
Future Predictions
- Unification of Korea (Around 2025)
She predicted that North and South Korea would unite into a single country. Although this hasn’t happened yet, there are ongoing efforts to reduce tensions between the two nations. - Water Drying Out (Around 2045)
Baba Vanga predicted that by around 2045, many parts of the world would face severe water shortages. Scientists have already raised concerns about water scarcity in several regions, adding weight to this prediction. - Contact with Aliens (Late 2020s)
Baba Vanga claimed that humans would meet extraterrestrial beings. With increasing interest in UFOs and government disclosures, some believe this prediction could soon come true.
- Earth’s Orbit Shift (2033–2045)
She warned of a change in Earth’s orbit that would cause massive climate changes. Though there is no scientific evidence for this, ongoing extreme weather due to climate change raises questions about its accuracy. - Muslim Rule Over Europe (2043)
Baba Vanga predicted that by 2043, Muslims would hold significant influence in Europe. This prediction has sparked debates but is generally interpreted to refer to demographic and cultural shifts. - Start of World War III (2050)
She predicted that a Third World War would occur around 2050, potentially involving the use of nuclear weapons. While it hasn’t happened, rising global tensions have led some to fear the possibility. - Artificial Sun for Energy (2050)
Baba Vanga spoke of an “artificial sun” that would provide endless energy for humanity. Today, scientists are developing nuclear fusion, which could someday provide clean, limitless energy. - The End of the World (5079)
In her most distant prediction, Baba Vanga said the world would end in the year 5079. While this is far into the future, it adds to her mysterious reputation.
Final Thoughts
Baba Vanga’s legacy remains a mix of mystery and fascination. Her predictions continue to interest people around the world, whether as coincidences, insights, or mysteries yet to be solved. Only time will tell if more of her predictions come true.
