Baba Vanga’s psychic predictions for 2024 – and what came true

Famed mystic Baba Vanga made a series of eerie predictions before her death in 1996, believing 2024 would bring various ill-tidings including turmoil and biological weapons.

Vanga, a self-proclaimer seer who lost her sight aged 12 after a storm hit her village, appears to have been right in some of her predictions, including the crises and -related issues.

Also known as Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, Baba was born in North Macedonia in 1911, but spent most of her life in the Rupite area of ‘s Belasica mountains.

She became famous in Eastern in the mid-twentieth century as intrigue into her apparent powers of foresight grew.

One of her 2024 predictions that appears to be not been far off the mark is of an crisis gripping major global economies.

Though the UK grew slightly overall this year, rising living costs have put profound pressures on families even in leading economies like Britain and the US, and inflation and job losses have also sparked chaos on the global economy.

Baba also predicted the world would face climate crisis, predicting “environmental challenges” – which has clearly played out given that that 2024 is on course to be the hottest year ever recorded, as per .

Various climate linked disasters have also occurred this year, including the recent catastrophic floods in Valencia which turned streets into flowing rivers and claimed the lives of more than 200 people.

In addition, several countries, including Poland, Czechia, Austria, Romania, Hungary, Germany and Slovakia, saw record rainfall in September.

Meanwhile, in the Americas, high warm ocean temperatures triggered an early category five storm, known as Hurricane Beryl, in the US in June, the earliest one is known to have occurred.

It brought destruction across the Caribbean before unleashing storm surges in the southern US state of Texas in July.

Other environmental catastrophes included the extreme heat unleashed in Mexico that left hundreds dead, and the Philippines’s storm season which brought six huge back-to-back storms in a month, leaving at least 1.4 million displaced with limited access to water, sanitation, nutrition and health care, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) said.

Baba also predicted this year would bring medical advancements for cancer and Alzheimer’s which has proven to be on the money.

Various breakthroughs in the fight against the deadly disease this year have come to light. This included an announcement by researchers in the US that they have developed a test they believe can identify 18 early-stage cancers.

One of Baba’s predictions that thankfully hasn’t borne out is the use of biological weapons by a powerful nation, with no confirmed uses by major powers this year.

Baba’s predictions for the year ahead include a war breaking out in Europe between two countries, but there are some potentially less doom-laden scenarios she ancticipated.

One is that human telepathy will become real and she also believed will make contact with humans for the first time – during a major sporting event.
