Vanga grew up on a farm, in what is now Macedonia, and became blind after being dragged into a tornado when she was young, with her believers saying this accident was what gave her second sight.
Baba Vanga, also known as the Nostradamus of the Balkans, who died 25 years ago in 1996 aged 84, reportedly predicted in a 1979 interview that Russia was to dominate the world while also predicting World War Three and the potential use of nuclear weapons.
In a meeting with writer Valentin Sidorov, Vanga in 1979, BirminghamLive reported she said, “All will thaw, as if ice, only one remain untouched – Vladimir’s glory, glory of Russia. Too much it is brought in a victim. Nobody can stop Russia. All will be removed by her from the way and not only will be kept, but also becomes the lord of the world. ”
Vanga is believed to be good at predicting major events across the globe and it is claimed that during her 50-year career, she also predicted the Coronavirus pandemic, Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine in 1986 and the death of Princess Diana in 1997.
The psychic reportedly predicted the Covid outbreak ‘years ago’ when she warned: ‘The corona will be all over us. In 1989, she reportedly said of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Centre: ‘Horror, horror! The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. The wolves will be howling in a bush, and innocent blood will be gushing.”
Vanga’s devoted followers say 85 per cent of her predictions are accurate, but experts say only 68 per cent are.
