As reported by the New York Post, Vanga “warned of a conflict that would shake the very foundation of Europe.” She did not name the countries involved, but her warning has resurfaced at a time of growing unrest in multiple regions, including rising tensions between India and Pakistan.
Her prediction, made decades ago, is being debated anew as headlines reflect an increasingly unstable world.
Economic panic: Premonitions meet policy
In the same chilling forecast, Baba Vanga predicted an economic collapse sweeping across the globe in 2025. She envisioned worldwide financial systems spiralling into disorder.
This warning gained traction after former US President Donald Trump announced major tariffs on 9 April. His post on Truth Social read, “NOBODY is getting ‘off the hook’ for the unfair Trade Balances, and Non-Monetary Tariff Barriers, that other countries have used against us, especially not China, which, by far, treats us the worst!”
The Daily Mirror reported that tariffs now range from 10% to 50% for several nations, with China facing a staggering 145% duty. Analysts have warned that these economic policies could send shockwaves through global markets—eerily echoing Vanga’s vision of financial upheaval.
Shifting Ground: Natural disasters echo her warnings
Vanga also spoke of deadly earthquakes in 2025, describing them as “shattering.” That forecast now feels disturbingly relevant.On 28 March, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar. The military-led government confirmed over 1,700 deaths. The same seismic event impacted Thailand, where officials reported at least 10 dead and over 100 missing across various construction sites.
Separately, a 7.1 magnitude quake rocked Tonga, triggering a tsunami warning. With her prophecy in mind, these events have added weight to fears about what lies ahead.
Who was Baba Vanga?
Born in 1911 as Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, Baba Vanga lost her sight at age 12 during a violent storm. She later claimed that this traumatic event gave her the power to see the future.
Known to some as the “Nostradamus of the Balkans,” she built a reputation over the years by reportedly predicting major world events with astonishing accuracy. She died in 1996, but her prophecies remain in circulation, passed down through spiritual followers and second-hand accounts.
While some remain sceptical, others believe the precision of her predictions is too striking to ignore.
Past predictions that stirred debate
Supporters point to a list of events she reportedly foresaw, including:
- The 9/11 terrorist attacks
- The death of Princess Diana in 1997
- The COVID-19 pandemic
- The rise of China as a global superpower
The Daily Mail recently noted that many followers now believe her 2025 warnings are already beginning to unfold. Her reputation, built on what some claim is an 85% success rate, has kept her legacy alive well after her passing.
The third World War and the fall of the west?
Baba Vanga’s darker forecasts go further. According to The Daily Star, she once predicted:
“As soon as Syria falls, expect a great war between the West and the East. 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.”
In another vision, she said, “Syria will fall at the feet of the winner, but the winner will not be the one.”
Some now interpret these warnings as relevant to today’s conflicts, including ongoing unrest in the Middle East and rising hostilities in South Asia.
From Aliens to telepathy: A prophetic timeline
Her predictions didn’t stop at wars and quakes. Vanga also made sweeping statements about the far future. According to The New York Post, here is the timeline she laid out:
- 2025: Major war in Europe
- 2028: Human missions to Venus for energy exploration
- 2033: Melting of polar ice caps raises sea levels
- 2076: Communism spreads globally
- 2130: Humanity makes contact with extraterrestrial life
- 2170: Global drought devastates many regions
- 3005: Earth at war with Martians
- 3797: Humanity forced to leave Earth
- 5079: End of the world
On the topic of alien life, Vanga once warned, “Humanity will make contact with extraterrestrial life, possibly leading to a global crisis or apocalypse.”
With Donald Trump pledging to release classified US government files on aliens if re-elected, her prophecy is back in the spotlight.
Mind-to-mind communication?
One of her more unusual claims involves telepathy. The Daily Star reported that she predicted humans would develop the ability to communicate directly from mind to mind by 2025.
This idea has drawn fresh attention with the rise of brain–machine interfaces. Elon Musk’s Neuralink, which enables users to control technology with thought, has been viewed as a potential step toward such capabilities.
Whether such breakthroughs meet Vanga’s expectations remains to be seen. But the parallels are hard to dismiss.
Baba Vanga’s predictions are cryptic, often delivered through metaphors or short phrases. This ambiguity fuels both interest and criticism. Detractors argue that her words are too vague to be considered real prophecy. Others say her accuracy speaks for itself.
What’s clear is this: as 2025 approaches, and as conflicts deepen, economies wobble, and nature rages—her words continue to echo.
Whether she was a mystic with insight or simply a figure of folklore, her visions have struck a nerve in a world already on edge.
