As 2024 winds down, Baba Vanga‘s eerie predictions are getting another look. This blind Bulgarian mystic, born Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova in 1911, claimed she could see the future after losing her sight in a freak storm at 12 years old.
Over her lifetime, she made predictions that some believe came true, like the 9/11 attacks and Princess Diana’s tragic death.

This year, she had some unsettling forecasts for 2024, including economic troubles and climate disasters, and now people are checking to see how accurate her predictions were.
Let’s dive into the ones that hit the mark — and the ones that didn’t!
Baba Vanga predicted a worldwide economic crisis and tensions are indeed rising
For 2024, Baba Vanga warned about a global economic crisis stirring up tension everywhere. While the UK economy grew this year, millions still struggled with inflation and relied on food banks. Rachel Reeves’ £40 billion ‘tax bomb’ Budget (around $50.8 billion) in October didn’t help matters.
The OBR watchdog also downgraded growth predictions, saying inflation might stick around longer than expected, which could mess up plans for cutting interest rates. Around the world, financial uncertainty and layoffs kept things tough, making her prediction feel pretty close to reality.
An environmental meltdown has become a stark reality
Another of Baba’s 2024 warnings was about an environmental collapse, and, honestly, it’s hard to argue against it. This year has been packed with extreme weather events. We’re on track for the hottest year ever recorded, with floods devastating Valencia, Spain, and storms battering Europe and the Americas.
Hurricane Beryl hit the Caribbean and Texas in June as the earliest Category 5 storm in history. Typhoon Yagi tore through Vietnam, while deadly heatwaves swept across Mexico. Baba’s prediction of a climate crisis couldn’t feel more spot-on.
Groundbreaking medical advances have offered hope
She also talked about huge leaps in medical science, especially for cancer and Alzheimer’s. And this year, some exciting things happened. Doctors developed new tests to spot cancer in kids under 18, and treatments for cervical cancer improved a lot.
In Alzheimer’s research, trials showed promising results. The drug Lecanemab, which slows cognitive decline by 27%, was even approved, giving hope to patients and their families. Baba’s foresight here feels pretty remarkable.
Biological weapons were not deployed contrary to fears
One of her scarier predictions was about a powerful country using biological weapons in 2024. Luckily, this hasn’t happened — at least not yet. Global tensions, especially with Russia and Ukraine, remain high, but this is one scenario the world seems to have avoided for now.
The anticipated rise of telepathy has not yet occurred
Baba also said telepathy might finally become a thing this year. While it’s an intriguing idea, 2024 didn’t deliver on this front. Scientists are still experimenting with technology and neuroscience, but we’re not quite there yet. Maybe someday!
Humanity did not make contact with extraterrestrial life at a sporting event
Another one of her big predictions was that humans would meet aliens during a major sporting event. This one certainly caught people’s attention, but it didn’t happen. Still, the thought of such an encounter keeps imaginations running wild!
A devastating war in Europe remains a forewarning for 2025
For 2025, Baba predicted a terrible war between two European nations. With the conflict in Ukraine still ongoing, this warning feels especially unsettling. Whether it’ll come true or not, people can’t help but feel a little uneasy.
The ongoing fascination with Baba Vanga’s accurate forecasts
When you look at the predictions she got right — like 9/11 or breakthroughs in medicine — it’s no wonder Baba Vanga’s name still fascinates people. Her apparent ability to foresee these big events adds to her mysterious legacy.
Skepticism surrounds Baba Vanga’s prophecies
Of course, not everyone is convinced. Critics argue that her predictions are often vague or open to different interpretations. Without solid evidence, it’s easy to see why some folks remain skeptical.
What the future holds for Baba Vanga’s predictions
Now, as we head into 2025, Baba Vanga’s future predictions are as intriguing as ever. Whether it’s the possibility of war, amazing breakthroughs, or even meeting aliens, her prophecies keep people guessing. Only time will tell how accurate they’ll turn out to be.
So, whether you’re a believer or a skeptic, her predictions always spark curiosity and debate. Who knows what surprises the future holds?
Let’s see what 2025 brings!
