As we approach the end of 2024, many are revisiting Baba Vanga’s strange and terrifying predictions.
Baba, born in 1911 as Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, was a blind Bulgarian mystic who became famous for her supposed ability to see into the future.
Baba lost her sight at the age of 12 after a freak storm hit her village, but she claims her vision of the future only grew stronger afterward – until her death in 1996.
Throughout her life, she made a series of predictions that have since become chillingly accurate, including major events such as the September 11 attacks and the death of Princess Diana.
Vanga made a series of alarming predictions for 2024, from climate crises to economic unrest.
As the year draws to a close, some of her predictions for 2024 appear to have come true in surprising ways – while others still remain unfulfilled.
Here, FEMAIL looks at three of the most accurate predictions for 2024 that Baba has predicted – and the ones that miss the mark.
Global economic crisis

By 2024, Baba Vanga predicted a global economic crisis that would lead to rising tensions everywhere, as reported by The mirror.
While the UK economy grew this year, millions of people are still dependent on food banks and struggling with inflation.
In a further blow to Britain, Rachel Reeves delivered a massive £40 billion tax bomb in October while staging the biggest heist in history in the House of Commons.
The OBR watchdog cut its growth rating and warned that inflation in Britain will remain higher, potentially derailing hopes for rate cuts after the monster tax and huge spending bonus.
Job losses and financial uncertainty are making things tough around the world, so it’s safe to say her prediction wasn’t far off.
Climate crisis

Another of Baba’s big predictions was environmental collapse, and 2024 certainly delivered on that front.
We’re on track to experience the hottest year on record, and the weather has been brutal in several regions around the world.
Extreme weather events have devastated the world, including unprecedented flooding in Valencia, Spain, and devastating storms in Europe and America.
In June, Hurricane Beryl became the earliest Category 5 storm on record, causing destruction in the Caribbean and Texas.
Meanwhile, Vietnam faced strong winds and rain as Typhoon Yagi ravaged the East Asian country, while Mexico suffered deadly heat waves.
It seems that the climate is in full crisis mode, just as Baba had foreseen.
Major medical breakthroughs
Baba also foresaw major medical advances in the treatment of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease – and this year the world saw real progress (stock image)
Baba also foresaw major medical advances in the treatment of cancer and Alzheimer’s disease – and this year the world saw real progress.
Doctors have unveiled new diagnostic tests that can detect cancer in children under 18, and major breakthroughs have been made in the treatment of cervical cancer.
In the field of Alzheimer’s disease, clinical trials have shown promising results, with the approval of disease-modifying treatments in Britain.
Lecanemab is the first treatment found to curb the condition – slowing cognitive decline by 27 percent, offering new hope to those affected by the condition.
Which of Baba Vanga’s predictions for 2024 did not come true?
Although a number of Baba’s prophecies came true this year, not every prediction came true.
One of her major predictions for 2024 was the use of biological weapons by a powerful country.
While global tensions are high, especially due to Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine, fortunately this has not happened – at least for now.
As we look to 2025, Baba Vanga’s predictions for the year ahead are both intriguing and terrifying.
She has predicted a devastating war in Europe between two nations – a disturbing prediction that many fear could become reality amid the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
She also predicted that telepathy would finally become a reality, an idea that has fascinated scientists and futurists alike.
Perhaps most intriguingly, Baba claimed that humanity will make contact with extraterrestrial life during a major sporting event.
