Called “the Nostradamus of the Balkans,” blind prophet Baba Vanga is said to have predicted many major world events, including the war in Ukraine and the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
The Bulgarian woman, believed to have had an extraordinary ability to “see” into the future, died 26 years ago, aged 84.
Baba Vanga, whose real name was Vangelia Gushterova, lost her eyesight at 12 years of age — and from that time onwards she was said to have been gifted with clairvoyance.

The mystic predicted the world would end in 5078 – and revealed a series of major events that have come to pass.
She made predictions that pointed to the dissolution of the USSR, the failure of the European economy, an Islamist terrorist attack, the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and even the death of Princess Diana.
So, according to Baba Vanga, what can we expect in 2024?
A little like her prophetic predecessor Nostradamus, most of her predictions are rather terrifying in nature.
Here are seven of her forecasts for 2024.
Putin assassination attempt
Baba had a vision that someone would attempt to assassinate the Russian president, according to Astrofame.
Given that a war instigated by Vladimir Putin is still raging in Ukraine, that doesn’t seem beyond the realms of possibility.
But according to Baba’s prediction, the assassination attempt will come from a Russian countryman.
The prediction comes as the Kremlin was forced to deny that Putin was dead after claims emerged this year that he had died at his palace in Moscow.
The Kremlin has also refuted claims that Putin has cancer or is otherwise seriously ill.
Rise in terror attacks
Baba made a prediction that there would be a rise in the use of devastating weapons of attack, claiming that a “big country” would conduct weapons tests and attacks.
While not pinpointing which “big country” that might be, she specified a rise in terrorism in Europe.
Natural disasters worsen
Like Nostradamus before her, Baba Vanga seemed to know that the world’s climate was changing and that environmental chaos and disaster would ensue.
According to her predictions, Earth’s orbit will somehow alter in a way that might move it closer to the sun, causing glaciers to melt, sea levels to rise, or even a spike in levels of radiation.
Economic crisis
Many people experienced financial hardship in 2023, and next year may even more difficult, according to Baba Vanga.
She predicted that 2024 may bring a worsening global economic crisis.
Get set for rising debt levels, rising geopolitical tensions, and a shift of power from Western to Eastern countries.
Cyber attacks
Baba Vanga also seemed to know a little bit about the rise of tech crime, predicting there would be a rise in computers being used for cyber attacks.
But it won’t be small-scale stuff — any cyber attacks conducted in 2024 would have the potential to disrupt major infrastructure such as power grids or water treatment facilities.
This could result in widespread disruption and chaos and even pose a national security threat.
Medical breakthroughs
On a more positive note, Baba predicted there could be major breakthroughs in treating conditions such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease due to ongoing research in the medical field.
Note, she did not predict a “cure” for either, but new treatments could be developed in the work towards a cure.
Tech revolution
Baba foresaw a huge revolution in technology, including a major breakthrough in the realm of quantum computing, Astrofame reports.
A leap forward in quantum computing could radically shake up a number of industries, from cybersecurity to finance.
What did she predict for 2023?
For anyone really beginning to panic about what lies ahead in 2024, Baba Vanga made a set of astonishing claims about what would unfold this year.
And thankfully, they didn’t come to pass.
One was that there would be a nuclear plant disaster — but with Russia attacking Ukraine, site of the largest nuclear plant in Europe, it wasn’t beyond the realms of possibility.
She also predicted a massive “solar storm” on a scale never seen before as well as an end to women giving birth, which has turned out to be more a scene from sci-fi classic Children of Men than an actual reality.
It’s claimed that she foresaw the banning of natural live births, with children being grown in laboratories instead.
Beyond 2024
Baba Vanga predicted humans would no longer exist anywhere in the universe in 5078, so there’s still a long way to go.
She made a comprehensive list of forecasts leading up to that point, painting a rather terrifying picture of humanity’s long road to extinction.
She predicted that by 2025 Europe would be mostly uninhabited, in 2028 a new power source will be discovered and people will walk on Venus, and by 2033 there will be a significant rise in sea levels.
Fast forward to 2288 and Baba predicts people will be able to time travel.
No humans will be left on planet Earth by 3797, according to Baba – although she doesn’t suggest where they will go.
And by 5078, humanity will cease to exist altogether.
