Blind mystic Baba Vanga's predictions that came true and 'what to expect' for 2022

Blind mystic Baba Vanga's predictions for 2022 have had mixed results so far.

Meanwhile, her history of predictions tells a similar story.

The 'Nostradamus of the Balkans' claimed she had a rare gift from God that helped her see into the future after losing her sight at the age of just 12, Mirror.co.uk reports.

Believing in her rare gift, she gained a huge following when she was alive and even Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev is reported to have used her services.

In 1989, she allegedly said: "The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. The wolves will be howling in a bush, and innocent blood will be gushing."

Those 'steel birds' are said to be the plane-turned-missiles used by the hijackers of Al-Qaeda on 9/11 in 2001.

Disasters seem to be the theme of many of her predictions and infamously, she foresaw a dreadful event in which the city of Kursk would be "covered with water and the whole world will weep over it". A total of 188 people died in August 2000 when a submarine sank near the Russian city.

Born Vangelia Pandeva Dimitrova, the Bulgarian clairvoyant also predicted that Europe would "cease to exist" by 2017. Europe currently appears to be pretty well-unified at the moment, though some put forward the theory Baba was talking about the Brexit vote from the year before.

Barack Obama can thank Baba for a prediction in which she said the 44th US president would be the first to be black, although she did say he would be the very last.

If her supposed mystic powers are anything to go by, the odd disaster here and there shouldn't come as much of a surprise and she has predicted ahead all the way to 5079.

For 2022, she predicted a range of terrifying events including deadly tsunamis and another pandemic.

So far, no major tsunamis have crashed onto the shores of a highly populated city and monkeypox has so far failed to cause any real public problems.

One prediction does appear to have some weight to it and Baba reportedly predicted large cities would be struck by water shortages from droughts this year.

This week it was reported countries like Portugal and Italy were telling citizens to try and restrict their water usage. Italy is said to be going through its worst drought since the 1950s.

Baba died in 1996 after a battle with breast cancer, but her predictions were cast long into the future, according to the claims of people close to her.

Other predictions for this year haven't really stood up, though.

So far, there haven't been any opportunistic aliens arriving by asteroids or widespread famine and locusts attacking crops in India.
