Baba Vanga has long been renowned for her eerie predictions, which have continued to come true even after her death.
The blind Bulgarian mystic died in 1996, but that hasn't stopped her name from going down in history.
Vanga is probably the best-known modern mystic, with French philosopher Nostradamus also well-renowned, thanks to her alarmingly accurate prophecies, including Coronavirus, Brexit, and even the 9/11 attacks.
It’s never anything good, is it?

This year has certainly been a chaotic one, with the ongoing threat of World War III still a possibility. Vanga had a vast number of predictions for 2025, too, including alien activity, global conflict, and, perhaps most bafflingly, a good year for Lewis Hamilton.
However, some believe she might have beaten scientists to the punch, as one of her prophecies has seemingly come to fruition.
One of Vanga's reported predictions was that of a devastating solar storm set to hit the Earth (via The Daily Star). However, while her discussion of solar storms was supposedly predicted for 2023, she might've been just two years out.
Recently, scientists have suggested that the Earth is about to be hit by something known as a 'cannibal storm', which is the biggest solar storm space has produced in over 20 years.
The storm gets its name as it essentially absorbs other storms to grow even bigger, and we've already seen the result of some of the space activity on Earth in recent days.
As you know, things aren't 100 per cent right when you can suddenly see the Northern Lights from Bolton, and I'm not talking about the Blackpool illuminations.
We've already seen a NASA space launch delayed due to the storms, as Blue Origin announced on X that the spacecraft was ready for launch, but weather conditions meant it had to be put off for now.
"New Glenn is ready to launch," they wrote.
"However, due to highly elevated solar activity and its potential effects on the ESCAPADE spacecraft, NASA is postponing launch until space weather conditions improve.
"We are currently assessing opportunities to establish our next launch window based on forecasted space weather and range availability."
As well as this, there have also been Northern Lights sightings, but those certainly don't seem all that 'devastating'.
However, the British Geological Survey states that the storm has been disrupting communications, satellite and GPS positioning, and potentially even causing some blackouts.
Fortunately, the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere help to protect humanity from the worst of these storms, but don't be surprised if things are a little chaotic this weekend, or if your TV goes blank when you sit down on Saturday for EastEnders.
