Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, the blind Bulgarian mystic renowned for her alleged ability to foresee the future, often finds herself back in the spotlight as the year draws to a close. She is popularly known as ‘Baba Vanga’. Her predictions range from 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers in New York, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, and the untimely, mysterious death of Princess Diana. Baba lost her sight at the age of 12 after a freak storm hit her village. However, she later claimed that her ability to foresee the future only grew stronger after that, continuing until her death in 1996.

Vanga made a series of alarming predictions for 2024, ranging from the climate crisis to economic turmoil. Here is an analysis of the events she predicted for 2024 that have come true. Analysis of the ones that missed the mark are also addressed here. We also take a look at the predictions that didn’t quite come true.

Worldwide Economic Crisis, Worsening Climate Crisis

As reported by The Mirror, Baba Vanga predicted a global economic crisis in 2024, one that would lead to rising tensions across the world. The report also highlights that several of her chilling predictions seem to have come true this year, including her foresight of both the economic downturn and the escalating climate crisis affecting the planet. Report adds that although the UK’s economy grew a little this year, many people are continuing to have to rely on foodbanks to feed themselves and their families. Uncertainty reins around the world, with billions struggling financially amid inflation and job layoffs.
