Blind psychic Baba Vanga's terrifying predictions that came true in 2024 - and what she got wrong

As we near the end of 2024, many are taking a second look at the strange and eerie predictions made by Baba Vanga.

Born in 1911 as Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, Baba 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 claimed her vision of the future only grew stronger after that - right up until her death in 1996.

Throughout her life, she made a series of predictions that have since become chillingly accurate, including major events like the 9/11 attacks and the death of Princess Diana. 

Vanga made a series of alarming predictions for 2024, from climate crises to economic turmoil.  

Now, as the year comes to a close, some of her predictions for 2024 seem to have come true in surprising ways - while others still remain unfulfilled.

Here, FEMAIL takes a look at three of the most accurate predications for 2024 foreseen by Baba - and the ones that missed the mark. 

Worldwide economic crisis

For 2024, Baba Vanga predicted a worldwide economic crisis that would cause rising tensions everywhere, as reported by The Mirror. 

While the UK's economy grew this year, millions of people are still relying on food banks and struggling with inflation. 

In a further blow to Brits, Rachel Reeves delivered a massive £40billion 'tax bomb' Budget in October, as she mounted what looks set to be the biggest raid in history in the Commons. 

The OBR watchdog downgraded growth and warned inflation will stay higher in the UK, potentially derailing hopes of interest rate cuts, after the monster tax and spend bonanza.

Job cuts and financial uncertainty are making things tough globally, so it's safe to say her prediction wasn't too far off.

Climate crisis

Another big prediction from Baba was an environmental meltdown, and 2024 has definitely delivered on that front. 

We're on track to have the hottest year on record, and the weather’s been unforgiving in several regions across the globe.  

Extreme weather events have ravaged the globe, including unprecedented floods in Valencia, Spain, and devastating storms in Europe and the Americas. 

In June, Hurricane Beryl became the earliest-ever Category 5 storm, causing destruction across the Caribbean and Texas. 

Meanwhile, Vietnam endured powerful wind and rain as Typhoon Yagi ravaged the East Asian country, while Mexico faced deadly heatwaves.

It seems like the climate is in full crisis mode, just like Baba foresaw. 

Big medical breakthroughs

Baba also foresaw major medical advances in cancer and Alzheimer’s treatment - and this year, the world saw real progress. 

Doctors have unveiled new diagnostic tests capable of detecting cancer in children under 18, and there were big breakthroughs in treating cervical cancer.

In the realm of Alzheimer's, clinical trials have shown promising results, with the approval of disease-modifying treatments in the UK.

Lecanemab is the first treatment that has been found to curb the condition – slowing cognitive decline by 27 per cent, offering new hope to those affected by the condition. 

Which of Baba Vanga's 2024 predications did not come true?  

Despite a number of Baba's prophecies coming true this year, not every prediction hit the mark.

One of her significant predictions for 2024 was the use of biological weapons by a powerful country. 

While global tensions are high, especially with Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine, thankfully this one didn't come to pass - for now, at least.

As we look toward 2025, Baba Vanga's predictions for the coming year are both intriguing and terrifying. 

She has prophesised a devastating war in Europe between two nations - an unsettling forecast 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 captivated scientists and futurists alike. 

Perhaps most intriguingly, Baba claimed that humanity will make contact with extraterrestrial life during a major sporting event.
