The Bulgaria-born Baba Vanga, also known as the ‘Nostradamus of the Balkans, ‘ is still considered one of the world’s most intriguing mystics. Vanga lost her eyesight in childhood after being swept away by a tornado at a time when her followers believed she started to “see the future.”
The celebrated mystic died in 1996, but Baba Vanga’s name still resurfaces time and again. 2025 was the year in which her prophecies started to appear again as the new global events started to unfold.
Vanga has been the subject of discussion for historians, researchers, and spiritual seekers for decades. Her predictions still resonate hauntingly with people worldwide. Her predictions are vague but always surface when something relevant happens around the world.
