Who was Baba Vanga who could predict 9/11, Chernobyl and the pandemic in 2022?

Baba Vanga (or “Grandma Wanga”) was a Bulgarian seer from a poor background who is said to have started having visions at a young age. She became world famous when her premonitions began to come true. She had predicted World War II, the fall of the Soviet Union, and 9/11.

Born in Strumica, in present-day Macedonia, in 1911, he was seriously injured when a 13-year-old hurricane hit him on the beach – but was found days later. Blindness at 16 was a late effect of his injuries.

But Vanga began to “see” differently, as she said, and by 5079 she always left images and prophecies marked by Orthodox Christian mystery.

In 1940, II. Shortly after the outbreak of World War II, Vanga described a steel knight who seemed to her to be a harbinger of “terrible things.” A few days later, German armed forces occupied what was then the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and the war reached the Balkans.

Bulgarian soldiers and local farmers passing by were the most frequent visitors to Vanga’s house. And he married one of these soldiers, Dimitar Gushterov, and moved with him to Petrich, 50 km from his hometown, where he remained until his death in 1996.

The advent of communism sought to dispel the obscure Christian mystery. Both the Communist Party and the national security apparatus banned Vanga’s work. His house was guarded, he counted the visitors.

The regime’s pressure on this unusual “enemy” only eased in the 1960s, when her husband died.

Later, Vanga found an unexpected and surprising patron: Lyudmila Jivkova, the daughter of the head of government and general secretary of the Bulgarian communist party Todor Zhivkov, became her number one fan of the oracle.

Known for her passion for esotericism as well as her love of luxury, Jivkova was obsessed with “Baba Vanga”.

Promoted to ministry, he ordered the establishment of an “Institute of Suggestion” in Sofia that documents Vanga’s premonitions. The agency, led by renowned sociologist Georgi Lozanov, wanted to know how many of Vanga’s views were correct and under what circumstances she made the most accurate prediction.

According to Lozanov, up to 80% of people who consulted Vanga stated that the oracle actually predicted their future.

He saw 50 people a day, and he said that the voices of invisible creatures were telling him something.

Vanga’s words often do not accurately describe the facts, but there are many cases when it is possible to relate them to certain episodes in human history.

Reporting a premonition in 1989, the Bulgarian said, “Fear, horror. The American brothers will fall after the attack of the steel birds. Innocent blood will be spilled,” which was later interpreted as a prophecy. The terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001.

When Mikhail Gorbachev became General Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party in 1985, the oracle spoke of the collapse of the Soviet Union and allegedly “saw” a black American president.

There is even a prophecy apparently linked to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. In an interview with Russian writer Valentin Sidorov, a specialist in mystical themes, in 1979, he said that Russia would have a moment of glory when a man named Vladimir became “master of the world.”

According to the newspaper, a quote from the prophecy says, “Many things will be brought to one sacrifice. Everything will melt like ice, and only one thing will remain untouched: the glory of Vladimir, the glory of Russia.” Metro???????? “Everything will be out of the way with him, and he will not only be protected, but also master of the world.”

While it’s getting harder and harder to know what he actually claims, legend has it that he predicts the Chernobyl disaster, the day Stalin and Princess Diana died, the 2004 Asian tsunami, Britain’s exit from the European Union, and the conflicts in Syria, Lebanon. Nicaragua and Cyprus.

Before he died, he said that in 2022 there would be an epidemic caused by viruses from Siberia.

Surely he would have guessed the date of his death: in 1996. (with DW).
