Baba Vanga is one of the most recognisable names within the world of psychics and seers, and one of the Bulgarian's most terrifying predictions could come true this year.
The mystic and healer, who claimed she could see the future, is already credited with foreseeing events such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks (2001), the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and the election of Barack Obama.
But, much like her French counterpart Nostradamus, the clairvoyant had some particularly worrying predictions for 2025, which might put a real dampener on what has already been a not-so-cheerful year.
What has Baba Vanga predicted for 2025?
After we've already had to deal with the Coronavirus pandemic, which Vanga also foresaw, just five years ago, you would have hoped that humanity would have had a little bit of a break before the next worldwide disaster.
But Vanga was seemingly determined that 2025 would be a horrible year for many of us, which is perhaps typical as it's the first time in about 20 years that my football team is actually good.

We've already seen the US bomb Iran, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the destructive wildfires in Los Angeles, but Vanga had a few more up her sleeve.
She predicted that 2025 could finally be the year that aliens make themselves known on Earth, and given military personnel were left scared by a recent UFO appearance, she might not be far off with that one.
The blind Bulgarian also suggested that human telepathy might soon exist, which might sound cool but would probably be very scary in reality, and also that lab-grown organs would also soon be a common sight.
Scientists have made lots of breakthroughs on that one recently, and frankly that would be a great thing for the human race, especially when giving someone a kidney can get you fired these days.
Weirdly, Vanga also tipped Lewis Hamilton for big things this year but the British race driver has had a pretty poor start to the season since swapping to Ferrari, so even if Vanga was still alive, she wouldn't be able to claim any winning bets on that one.
What was her terrifying prediction for 2025?
If aliens or human telepathy wasn't scary enough already, Baba Vanga reckons that this is the year we might see a third world war break out.
Although war in Europe has been raging on ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, Vanga prophesied that a war could see the West destroyed.
She said: "In the spring, a war in the East will begin and there will be a third World War. A war in the East that will destroy the West."
She even claimed that Putin would become 'lord of the world', which would in turn make Europe a 'wasteland', adding: "Russia will not only survive, it will dominate the world."
While she's technically a little late with her prediction about war in the East, her words on Russia are particularly worrying, especially when you consider some of the threats they have made to the rest of the world in recent months.
Why could it come true?
Unless you're living under a rock, you'll be all too aware about the rising geopolitical tensions, which include conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Palestine, as well as significant civil wars in Afghanistan, Syria and Sudan.
Tensions only got worse last week when Russian drones were shot down in Poland and despite Donald Trump's best efforts, we still don't have a ceasefire or a peace deal agreed between President Putin and President Zelenskyy.
So, if you weren't already worried about the potential for war, then Vanga's predictions might just seal the deal and convince you it's time to invest in an underground bunker.
