Clairvoyant Baba Vanga made five extreme predictions for 2023.
The mystic envisaged disastrous solar storms, a nuclear explosion and an end to natural births before her death in 1996. Baba, real name Vangelia Gushterova, claimed God gave her the gift of looking into the future and made predictions up until 5079 which are revealed before the start of each new year.
The Bulgarian’s visions are said to be 85% correct and have included the likes of Brexit, the death of Princess Diana, the dissolution of the Soviet Union and 9/11. The mystic is also been known to get things massively wrong. Predictions that have been way off the mark include Obama being the last US president in 2016 and the start of World War III in 2010.

While many will be looking for some good news as we head into the new year, Baba Vanga’s predictions are rather gloomy.
Lab births
Baba Vanga, nicknamed the Nostradamus of the Balkans, predicts that 2023 will see the end of natural human births as they are banned.
The dystopian projection would come as government leaders allegedly ban births and call for all human life to be grown in a lab. Leaders and medical experts would be able to decide who is born while parents would be able to customise their traits and appearance - like hair colour and eye colour.
The outlandish prediction from Baba feeds into fears some have about slowing birth rates.
Earth’s orbit to change course
Baba Vanga predicted the Earth would experience a change in its orbit somehow - although the details remain unknown.
No matter what that change may be, it could have devastating consequences if it does in fact occur. As the planet is positioned in perfect balance, the slightest shift in movement could bring about extremely damaging changes to the climate and sea levels.
If the Earth were to move any closer to the sun, our home would be faced with increased radiation and temperatures would jump to new heights. As a knock-on effect, glaciers would rapidly melt, sea levels would rise and this would result in a global emergency as the world attempts to cope with the change.
On the other hand, if the Earth were to move further away from the sun, we would be pushed into an ice age with long hours of darkness.
Bioweapons
Vanga is also claimed to have predicted that a "big country" will carry out bioweapons studies on humans which would result in the deaths of thousands of people. Currently, the Biological Weapons Convention of the United Nations “effectively prohibits the development, production, acquisition, transfer, stockpiling and use of biological and toxin weapons”.
Despite this, there are some countries that are thought to be running potential bioweapons divisions in the background already.
Nuclear explosion
Among her predictions for 2023, it is claimed that Baba warned of a potential nuclear power plant explosion. This eerie prediction comes after her alleged foreshadowing of the Chernobyl disaster.
Solar tsunami
One of the more vague predictions made by Vanga includes the arrival of a massive solar storm - one that will be on a scale that planet Earth has never seen before.
Solar storms occur when a burst of energy is released from the sun, sending electrical charges, magnetic fields and radiation hurtling towards Earth. While these have been experienced on many occasions, they have only been seen as a phenomenon in the sky - like the green hue of the Northern Lights.
These more powerful solar storms predicted by Baba Vanga would result in damage to technology and could even lead to mass blackouts and communication failures.
