Vanga (or Baba Vanga) was a famous Bulgarian clairvoyant, known as the “Blind Prophet Vanga”. Her real name was Vangelia Pandeva Dimitrova and she was born on January 31, 1911, in a small village in Bulgaria. She was known for her uncanny and accurate predictions of the future, despite being blind from a very young age.
Baba Vanga’s life and prophetic abilities
Loss of sight: When Vanga was a child, she was swept away by a sandstorm and seriously injured. After this event, she lost her sight completely, but then began to have the ability to predict strange and accurate events.
Precognitive abilities: After losing her sight, Vanga began to have the ability to predict the future, international events, and even personal events of other people. She became a celebrity in Bulgaria and surrounding countries for her accurate predictions.
Notable predictions
9/11: Baba Vanga is said to have predicted the events of September 11, 2001 (terrorist attack on the Twin Towers in the United States), although there is no clear evidence for this. According to some reports, she said that “the two towers will collapse, and the Americans will be attacked by iron birds” (possibly referring to airplanes).
