"Absolute lies have been told about this holy woman. Vanga dealt mainly with people's health problems, not with upcoming cataclysms in the world. It's absurd, said Ivan Dramov of the Bulgaria-based Baba Vanga Foundation as he listed off false claims amplified on TikTok, YouTube and publications that range from UK tabloids to Albanian state-run media of Vanga's visions of nuclear catastrophe or world wars."
"Social media and tabloids across the globe credit her with predicting the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Last week, some headlines went further, asking: Did she foresee the Israel-Iran war, US interference, missiles and airspace shutdowns? An earlier article mused on her predictions for 2026, which purportedly included the start of world war three and humanity's first contact with aliens."
Baba Vanga, a Bulgarian mystic born in 1911, has become the subject of widespread misinformation across social media and tabloids. Claims attribute her with predicting 9/11, COVID-19, the Ukraine war, and other major events, along with predictions of World War Three and alien contact by 2026. However, the Baba Vanga Foundation and other sources confirm these prophecies were never made by her. The organization's leadership states Vanga focused on personal health issues rather than global cataclysms. Her reputation has been exploited for clickbait content and pro-Russian narratives across platforms like TikTok, YouTube, and various media outlets worldwide.
