Before getting too deep into her predictions, a little background on Baba Vanga could shed some perspective on whether to take her prophecies at face value. Born Vangelia Pandeva Dimitrova in 1911 in a small Bulgarian village that is now a part of modern-day Macedonia, the future “Nostradamus of the Balkans” purportedly lost her eyesight at the age of 12 after surviving a dangerous storm (via the U.K. Mirror). After sustaining and recovering from these life-threatening injuries, it’s said her supposed psychic powers began to emerge. From there, news of her clairvoyance and healing abilities eventually reached Tsar Boris III, the leader of Bulgaria, during World War II, who turned to Baba Vanga for her insights, and her fame grew from there, per the Independent. (Some critics, though, claim that many of Baba Vanga’s supposed predictions were planted by politicians to support their agenda within the Soviet bloc.)
Nonetheless, the woman affectionately known by the masses as Baba Vanga — baba, in this case, meaning something akin to the word “grandmother” – allegedly prophesied many world events, with a claim by some at an 85% accuracy rate, per the U.K. Mirror. (For supposed examples of her accurate prophecies, Baba Vanga’s supporters might typically point to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the death of Princess Diana.) Prior to her death in 1996, Baba Vanga predicted many things for 2022. Unfortunately, Based on those predictions, there’s little for us to look forward to.
