Although Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga passed away nearly three decades ago, her dramatic predictions continue to resurface—especially as a few recent events seem to echo her warnings. Known for forecasting major global crises, she was also said to have predicted unusual natural disasters in 2025. Supporters point to the recent eruption of Ethiopia’s Hayli Gubbi volcano—dormant for roughly 12,000 years—as one example.

Skeptics remain unconvinced, yet her prophecies still capture public attention, particularly her statements about global conflict and unusual phenomena. As the year draws to a close, one of her more sensational predictions is resurfacing: that humanity could encounter extraterrestrial life during a major sporting event. While nothing unusual accompanied this year’s large competitions, many smaller events remain on the calendar—fueling speculation among believers.

Vanga never clarified what such contact might involve, but the idea alone has stirred curiosity, especially with an interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, expected to pass near Earth again soon.

Her predictions extend far beyond aliens. Another bold claim suggests that scientists might eventually use brainwaves for direct communication—essentially a form of human telepathy. While such technology remains firmly in the realm of theory, it’s the kind of possibility that keeps her legend alive.

Whether viewed as mystical insight or imaginative storytelling, Vanga’s prophecies continue to spark debate. As the final weeks of 2025 unfold, many wonder if any of her more extraordinary predictions will surface—or remain part of her enduring mythology.
