One of Baba Vanga's most extreme predictions is less than fifty years away

If you were itching for your next fix of a deceased Bulgarian mystic’s predictions, the panic’s over.

Sure, she might have been dead for a hot minute now, but Baba Vanga made enough claims to outlive her for quite some time.

She made some pretty wild forecasts of rather ominous happenings for us humans and according to reports, her ones for 2024 include a huge economical crisis and an assassination.

But one of her most major ones is less than 50 years away.

Baba was born in 1911 and, despite the fact she passed away in 1996, she still makes the headlines every year with prophecies from beyond the grave.

The Bulgarian reckons all of Europe will become totally Islamic by 2043.

And, according to VICE, Baba predicted that the US will besiege Rome, Italy in 2066.

But apparently, as part of its offensive, the US will supposedly create a weapon called an 'environmental destructor', which can immediately freeze anything in its path – sorry, is Doctor Who playing a part in this?

This seems like an outlandish prediction, and like with all of her apparent prophecies, it is nigh on impossible to verify whether she ever actually said it, or if it is just some mutated rumour that has become part of her folklore.

When she was still around, she opened up about her life, which she said was completely changed as a child when, out of nowhere, a tornado allegedly lifted her off the ground.

She was found after a long search, with witnesses describing her as very frightened, and her eyes were covered with sand and dust.

Since her family only had enough money for a partial operation, Vanga lost her sight; however, she was gifted with the power of seeing into the future (according to her testimony, at least).

When she passed, she left behind predictions that run until 5079 - which by the way, is when she believes the world will end.

Many of her predictions haven't come to pass, though these forecasts are inevitably ignored, enhancing her reputation among the sorts of people who believe in mystics and the like.

According to the HuffPost, major events that believers think Vanga predicted include the 2004 Thailand tsunami, Barack Obama's presidency, the breakup of the Soviet Union and East and West Germany's reunification.
