Devastating events in Nepal have once again brought the supposed predictions of Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga into the spotlight. Online reports are now linking these events to claims that she supposedly predicted widespread destruction in 2026.

Other alleged predictions involve World War III, an encounter with extraterrestrial life, an uncontrollable artificial intelligence boom, a global economic crisis and even a possible change in Russia's leadership.
