The Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga is believed to have predicted some of history’s most shocking events, like the death of Princess Diana and the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Even though the interpretations of her predictions have been disputed, the blind psychic gained a cult following by those who believe she had the unique power to see far into the future.
Also known as the ‘Balkan Nostradamus’, Vanga had premonitions up to the year 5079 before her death in 1996, and here’s what she believed was in store for 2025.
World War III
Baba Vanga predicted a third world war erupting across major nations, stemming from a disagreement between China and the US. She also predicted a major war in Europe, both leading to widespread destruction and loss of life.
Alien encounter
Extraterrestrial life has long been a point of intrigue, but Baba Vanga sees 2025 as the year we will encounter aliens, albeit under rather strange circumstances.
She predicts it will happen during a major sporting event – but will they choose Wimbledon, or the Super Bowl?
Sporting history for Lewis Hamilton
She believes Hamilton, who will transfer to Ferrari after 12 years with Mercedes, will lead Ferrari to its first championship victory since 2007, which she believes he’ll cinch in a dramatic final decider against rival, Max Verstappen.
In doing so, he would become the most successful driver in Formula 1 history, winning his eighth World Championship.
Extending human life
Even though scientists can already grow tissues in labs, Baba Vanga predicts 2025 will see lab-grown organs become reality, which would revolutionise transplants and have the potential to extend or save human life.
The physic also predicted progress in cancer treatment, possibly even a cure by 2025.
Natural disasters
Vanga also predicted destructive earthquakes and natural disasters that would devastate areas across the globe, including an earthquake along the west coast of the US.
She foresees the events resulting in loss of life, destroyed buildings and mass displacement.
Mind reading
She believes scientists will unearth the secrets of mind reading due to advancements in understanding the inner workings of the human mind, potentially allowing people to communicate through brainwaves.
