She died in 1996 without having written down her predictions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since there is no written evidence of her prophecies, various predictions can be attributed to Ms. Vanga.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2010, the Bulgarian newspaper 24 Chasa published an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.24chasa.bg\/ozhivlenie\/article\/547281\">article<\/a> refuting a number of predictions that were wrongly attributed to Baba Vanga. Her relatives and friends told the newspaper that Vanga was known in her community as a fortune teller for the advice she gave to those who visited her, but that she had never predicted any disasters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Baba Vanga\u2019s close circle, sensational claims attributed to her, such as predictions about wars or natural disasters, were either invented or exaggerated after her death.<em> \u201cNow it is easy, Vanga is no longer here, so she cannot defend herself. They put all kinds of nonsense in her mouth,<\/em>\u201d her friend Boyka Kostadinova said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to a report by <a href=\"https:\/\/colitco.com\/baba-vanga-predictions-expert-reveals-truths\/\">Colitco<\/a>, Baba Vanga scholar and academic Viktoria Vitanova-Kerber stated:<em>\u201cShe was not someone who kept diaries or recorded her prophecies. \u2026 There is almost no written record of what she actually said, making it impossible to verify these claims.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Colitco adds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cIf there are no official records, then where did these predictions come from? Vitanova-Kerber believes that many of these claims originate from people who visited Baba Vanga while she was alive.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Years later, these individuals recall additional details and say: \u2018Oh, she told me this and that,\u2019 she explained. For instance, if Baba mentioned &#8220;a serious illness&#8221; during a reading, people may now interpret it as a prediction of COVID-19.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Baba Vanga\u2019s granddaughter, who lived with the mystic, is another source of these predictions. According to Vitanova-Kerber, the granddaughter claims she wrote down some of Baba\u2019s prophecies, but she has not provided any evidence. In a 2021 interview, she even suggested that Baba predicted COVID-19 in 1988, but said she is waiting for \u2018the right moment\u2019 to present the proof.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These claimed pieces of evidence have still not been made public.<br>It is also worth noting, for readers who may still feel concerned, that the predictions attributed to Baba Vanga for 2025 include the <a href=\"https:\/\/faktoje.al\/mos-kini-frike-nga-parashikimi-i-baba-vanges-per-2025\/\">beginning of World War III<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/faktoje.al\/asnje-dyshim-per-parashikimin-e-zbritjes-se-alieneve-ne-2025\/\">aliens descending to Earth<\/a>.
