The Bulgarian mystic, dubbed by her followers the Balkan Nostradamus, is said to have predicted Brexit, the 2004 Thailand tsunami, the 9/11 terror attack and the sinking of the Russian submarine Kursk in the year 2000. Baba Vanga or Grandmother Vanga, was born Vangeliya Pandeva Dimitrova in 1911 in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. The woman lost her eyesight at a young age but the event supposedly unlocked in her powers of clairvoyance and hindsight. Today, Baba Vanga’s supporters claim she has foretold the end of the world, the rise to power of Vladimir Putin and a mysterious illness which will strike down US President Donald Trump.

In their guidebook to Bulgaria, titled Bulgaria, authors Jonathan Bousfield and Dan Richardson wrote: “Twelve kilometres northers of Petrich, Rupite is famed in Bulgaria as the home village and burial place of the oracle Baba Vanga. “Legend has it that at the age of six, she witnessed an angel who offered her the choice between sight and clairvoyance, and she chose the latter. “Vanga’s subsequent prophecies and healing skills gained her a wide following – including Politburo members – and her vision of Varna engulfed in by water was vindicated when it was discovered that the city stood on an underground lake – from which day on, high-rise building was prohibited. “In old age she had fewer VIP visitors but her predictions were still heeded – not least by people chewing their lottery numbers.” READ MORE: Bible SHOCK: Eve's alternative Garden of Eden story REVEALED

The ailment will leave President Trump with hearing loss, tinnitus and brain trauma. Astonishingly, a number of US diplomats suffered similar symptoms when in Cuba and China earlier this year. According to the South China Morning Post, the symptoms could have been the result of “bugging or surveillance rather than a sonic weapon attack, according to a US researcher.”

Vladimir Putin will survive an assassination attempt in 2019 Baba Vanga is said to have predicted a daring assassination attempt on the Russian President by someone from within his own circles. Charlotte Dobre of the InformationOverload YouTube channel said: “In the coming year, she said that there will be an assassination attempt on Vladimir Putin by a member of his own security team and Europe will experience an economic collapse.” Mr Putin, who first took office in 2000 and previously served as an intelligence officer, is no stranger to attempts on his life. The President has admitted at least four assassination attempts have failed to take him out and he is now under the protection of an elite team of snipers.

But if Baba Vanga’s visions are correct, there could be a much bigger tsunami which will hit parts of Pakistan, Japan, China, Indonesia and even Alaska in 2019. Nearly 400 people in Indonesia already died in September this year when a 7.5 magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami next to the island. The devastating tsunami wave struck the city of Palu on Indonesia’s Sulawesi Island.

Will the world come to an end in 2019? One of Baba Vanga’s most dire predictions is the precise date on which the world will cease to exist. Fortunately, this will not happen until the 51st century and the year 5079. On this fateful day, more than 3,000 years from now, the world as we know it will supposedly come to an end. However, the mystic who died aged 86 in 1996 did not specify how this would happen.

Baba Vanga has made some fascinating predictions but I worry whether all of them are legitimate Craig Hamilton-Parker, Psychics.co.uk

Even fellow psychics question whether the Bulgarian seer was indeed the real deal. According to Craig Hamilton-Parker, a British psychic who runs Psychics.co.uk, it is hard to judge whether her predictions are real or not. Mr Hamilton-Parker told Express.co.uk: “Baba Vanga has made some fascinating predictions but I worry whether all of them are legitimate.

“To this day, she has a following of devotees in her home country of Bulgaria. Some of these devotees have contacted me when they saw a video I made about her predictions on YouTube. “Her close devotees say that they have kept her last predictions secret and were not to be revealed to the world yet. “I was told that the vast majority of the predictions we see on the Internet are fake. For example, there was supposed to be a nuclear war in 2010 which never happened.” Mr Hamilton-Parker said there are very few written records of her actual prophecies and many of the ones shared online have been falsified for profit.
