Are Baba Vanga's 2024 Predictions Really Coming True?
Most of us are familiar with the French astrologer Nostradamus, who was believed to have prophesied future events through poetic quatrains. Locally, we know of Madam Auring, who passed away in 2020; Master Hanz Cua; and other psychics and fortune tellers we rely on for predictions about our lives and the world. Then there's Baba Vanga, a Bulgarian mystic who has a track record of prophecies coming true.
Who was Baba Vanga?
Baba Vanga was born Vangelia Pandeva Gushterova in 1911. She lost her sight at a young age but was known to see the future. She was also known as the "Nostradamus of the Balkans," a nod to the astrologer of centuries past.
Vanga passed away in 1996, but some items on the long list of predictions she made before her death have apparently come true. This included the death of Princess Diana in 1997, the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, the 9/11 attacks in 2001, and the attack of North Korea on South Korea in 2012. She even accurately predicted the exact date of her death years before it naturally happened. Her forecasts include events (and the years they will happen) all the way up until 5079.
As we move through 2024, people are saying that some of her predictions for the year are already coming true.

What are Baba Vanga's 2024 predictions?
Climate Change
Climate change doesn't really come as a surprise, given how humanity has been treating (or maltreating) the environment since the Industrial Revolution. Vanga predicted a whole year of severe weather events. Well, she's not wrong. The World Meteorological Organization has scientifically forecasted that there is a "high probability" of 2024 being a record-hot year.
Increase in Cyberattacks
Technology has come a long way, and along with it come risks and threats. So Vanga wasn't really far off about this. The increase in cyberattacks, targeting crucial infrastructure such as power grids and water treatment plants, adds another layer of concern, highlighting the evolving nature of global threats.
Economic Crisis
The economic landscape of 2024, according to Vanga, is no less turbulent. She predicted a significant global economic crisis, with rising debt levels and escalating geopolitical tensions as key contributing factors. This aligns with current concerns about economic stability in various parts of the world, lending chilling relevance to her words. Meanwhile, billionaires are still getting richer.
Assassination Attempt on Vladimir Putin
Among the most startling of Vanga's predictions is the foretelling of an assassination attempt on Russian President Vladimir Putin, purportedly by a fellow countryman. This alone has stirred considerable interest and concern, given the geopolitical ramifications such an event would entail.
In 2023, Russia accused Ukraine of attempting to assassinate the president through a drone attack. They added that two unmanned aerial vehicles were aimed at the Kremlin.
Attacks on Europe
Vanga also warned of increased terrorist attacks in Europe, alongside the prediction of a "big country" conducting biological weapons tests or attacks. The specter of such threats looms large over the global community, echoing the mystic's long-standing warnings about the potential for widespread devastation and conflict.
Science and Medical Breakthroughs
Not all of Vanga's predictions for 2024 are dire. She spoke of medical breakthroughs, including new treatments for incurable diseases like Alzheimer's and cancer, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the challenges. Additionally, a major breakthrough in quantum computing is anticipated, suggesting significant advancements in technology and science that could reshape the world as we know it.
Could Vanga really have foreseen the future? Like what Filipino astrologer Zenaida Seva would always say before her death in March, "Hindi hawak ng mga bituin ang ating kapalaran. Gabay lamang sila. Meron tayong free will." At this point, we probably have to come together to stop the worsening of climate change, political turmoil, and the global economic crisis.
