The prophecies put forward by Baba Vanga, a priest of Bulgarian origin, who are known by the whole world, attract great attention. Baba Vanga is a name that is claimed to have accurately predicted many events in previous periods, such as the September 11 attacks, the UK’s departure from the European Union, and Obama’s election victory. Unfortunately, since Baba Vanga left no written documents behind, there is no definitive source for her prophecies. However, Baba Vanga, known as the Nostradamus of the Balkans, has some popular prophecies about the future.
Among the alleged prophecies of Baba Vanga are general statements such as a great natural disaster in the future, the outbreak of an international crisis and the changing of political balances. In addition, some personal prophecies were also expressed, but there is no concrete data to prove their accuracy. The issue of whether the prophecies come true or what the truth is, leads to debates. While many people think that Baba Vanga’s prophecies are just random guesses, others believe that she is a prophet with supernatural abilities.
Who is Baba Vanga?
Baba Vanga; real name Vangelia PanDeva Dimitrova was born on January 31, 1911 in the Bulgarian village of Strumitza (now Macedonia), which was then under the rule of the Ottoman Empire. Because her birth date came two months earlier than expected, she was given the name Vangelia, meaning “bringer of good news.” Baba Vanga’s father, Pande Surtcev, was sentenced to prison in the Seven Towers dungeons for a certain period of time for founding a gang. Her mother, Paraskeva, died when Baba Vanga was only three years old, giving birth to her second child.
Vangelia’s childhood passed as an ordinary girl. However, as a result of an incident at the age of 13, she was dragged under the ground by the rain flood and both eyes were inflamed and she became blind. In 1925, she started attending a school for the blind in Zemun, close to Belgrade, as a boarder. Having studied at the school for the blind for three years, Vanga learned to do housework on her own, such as cleaning, cooking and knitting. Although Baba Vanga was blind, her other senses developed over time and attracted attention with her intuition. She is also said to be associated with interesting events by some people.
Vanga’s talents spread rapidly, and many people began to learn about the future from her. Allegedly, Baba Vanga was a seer who could make accurate predictions about health problems, finding missing persons, and national and international events. It was claimed that Vanga had a source of energy and therefore could foresee events. Many people had great confidence in Baba Vanga’s predictions and took their predictions for the future seriously.
Baba Vanga married Dimitar Gushterov on May 10, 1942. The couple, who do not have biological children of their own, adopted a 3-year-old girl named Veneta. After the death of his wife, Baba Vanga started to raise a boy named Dimitar Valtcev under his protection. She died of breast cancer on August 11, 1996 at the age of 85.
With her death, the life of this special woman known for her prophecies came to an end and she left many impressive prophecies behind. Baba Vanga is still respected by many people in Bulgaria and around the world. The rate and impact of his discovered prophecies increased the belief in his supernatural abilities and attracted people’s attention.
Baba Vanga’s Prophecies
Baba Vanga’s life began with a difficult childhood, reached a turning point with the discovery of her prophecies, and was recognized as an official figure by the state. His prophecies influenced many people, from political leaders to ordinary people, and their predictions came true.

One day, Baba Vanga’s father returns home in anger due to the disappearance of his sheep. Trying to console her father, the daughter tells him that the lost sheep is with Atanas in the village of Monospitovo. Her father, bewildered as she does not know such a person, asks her daughter how she knows this. Vanga tells her father that she got this information through a dream she had. Later, his father actually goes to that village and finds his sheep in the flock of the man in question. This event can be considered as the first prophecy of Baba Vanga. After this date, Baba Vanga gained international fame by making prophecies that came true, like Nostradamus.

An appointment system was implemented to interview many people every day, and questions, explanations and prophecies were filed.
The fees paid by the interviewees were transferred to the state budget to support parapsychological research. A separate house was built at Baba Vanga’s request with some of the income. This villa is located in the area called Rupi, 15 km from his house in Petrich and is used to host visitors. In 1974, Baba Vanga was given an official title of “research assistant” and a monthly salary was paid by the state.
