The prophecies of a blind woman from Bulgaria have been used by conspiracy theorists to prove that she could predict the future.
Baba Vanga’s claims are linked to events such as the September 11 attacks and Syrian chemical attacks. Here’s all you need to know.
Who is the blind mystic Baba Vanga?
Born to Vangelia Pandeva Dimitrova, Baba Vanga grew up in Strumica, a village located at the foot of a volcanic mountain range in what was then the Ottoman Empire.
She passed away in 1996 at the age of 85 and was dubbed the “Nostradamus of the Balkans”.
Baba led a normal life until the age of 12. when she mysteriously lost her eyesight during a massive storm — described as a freak tornado.
The youngster is said to have been thrown into the air and then fell to the ground during a heavy storm.
Her family said they saw her almost a few days later, while her eyes were injured and sealed shut, encrusted with a thick layer of dust and dirt.
Baba Vanga later believed that she had experienced her first vision during the days she was missing and had acquired the ability to heal people and predict the future.
What has Baba Vanga predicted?
Baba Vanga’s predictions, including those listed below, are said to be 85% success rate.
Kursk nuclear submarine disaster: In 1980, Baba said that Kursk will be “covered with water and the whole world will weep over it” claiming the disaster would happen in August 1999. The Russian sub sank in August 2000, killing all aboard.
ISIS: The Bulgarians also reportedly predicted the rise of terror group ISIS.
Syrian gas attack: Before she death, Baba warned of attacks in Syria where “Muslims will use chemical weapons against Europeans”. This was thought to be similar to suspected gas attack Assad launched against his own people.
Brexit: While some conspiracy theorists claims Baba predicated Brexit – she actually incorrectly said Europe will “cease to exist” by 2017, something which obviously has not happened.
She claimed the 44th President of the United States would be black, but also said she would be the last President, which again did not happen.
Vladimir Putin will win the 2018 election. In 1979, during a meeting with writer Valentin Sidorov, Vanga said: “All will thaw, as if ice, only one remain untouched – Vladimir’s glory, glory of Russia.”
World War 3: Shortly before her death, the elderly woman said: “Russia will not only survive, it will dominate the world.”
In 1989, she claimed the “American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds… and innocent blood will be gushing”. Some believe this is a reference to the September 11 attacks on the US in 2001.

What did Baba Vanga predict for 2022?
The Mirror reported Vanga’s predictions for the year ahead.
As 2021 contained a multitude of major events such as the second year of the coronavirus pandemic, the US insurrection, and more – it appears 2022 will bring much more drama according to Baba Vanga.
The following are her predictions for the coming year according to the Mirror:
A prediction that many cities will face water shortages that will result in political consequences as alternative solutions are used
Famine in India due to a drop in temperatures that will result in locusts to attack crops
Another pandemic, this time discovered in Siberia, that is caused by a frozen virus that will be released by climate change
More earthquakes and tsunamis with ‘intense bouts of floods’ in Australia and parts of Asia
The invasion of earth by aliens with the arrival of an asteroid
A virtual reality takeover for the coming year.
Although Vanga passed away 25 years ago many people still believe her predictions have some truth to them.
