When regular folk in the Balkans talk about what the future might bring, they’re often interrupted with, ‘Who do you think you are? Baba Vanga?’ Yes, in the Balkans, Baba Vanga is a big deal. She’s the Nostradamus of the region. Nay, she’s better, the locals claim.
Born in Strumica, North Macedonia, Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova was believed to have been gifted with the ability to foresee the future since losing her eyesight at the age of 12. Colloquially known as Baba Vanga (meaning ‘Grandma Vanga’), the mystic moved to Bulgaria, where she spent her lifetime helping everyone from common folk to Bulgarian Tsar Boris III and Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev hear a whisper of their future.
Baba Vanga is credited with predicting a number of significant events, such as the Chernobyl disaster, the 9/11 attacks, and the death of Princess Diana.
However, given that there are no written records of her exact words, it’s wise to approach her predictions with caution. Speaking of which, here’s what the seer said 2024 will bring.

1. Technological break-trough: Artificial Intelligence will be on the rise
To start on a positive note, Baba Vanga is credited with saying that by 2024, quantum computers would process information faster than standard computers, leading to a technological revolution. Wait, isn’t that already happening with AI being present in almost every field?

2. Medical discoveries: There will be cure for Alzheimer’s disease and cancer
The mystic had good news on the health front as well, predicting that by 2024, effective treatments for Alzheimer’s disease and cancer would emerge. Aligning with this prophecy, in 2023, a medicine that drastically slows the progress of Alzheimer’s disease was approved by the FDA. As for cancer, we are yet to see. Baba Vanga herself died from cancer, and according to reports, she predicted the exact date of her death during an interview: 11 August 1996.

3. Orbital change that will lead to terrifying natural disasters
As per reports, the mystic foresaw the next year will bring a number of natural disasters and spike in radiation levels due to an alteration in the orbit of the Earth. Baba Vanga also made a prediction that in 2023, there would be a solar activity, which could have serious consequences for the Earth. As it happens, in August 2023, NASA detected massive sunspots and reported that it had detected a massive sunspot that could bring forth solar flares. So here’s that.

4. Biological weapons & terrorist attacks
Baba Vanga had a concerning vision that by 2024, a “big country” would conduct biological weapons tests or attacks. Many sources have interpreted this prediction as indicating ‘terrorist attacks in Europe,’ although the seer was never specifically credited with naming this “big country.”

5. Genetically designed humans
In a very Aldous Huxley “Brave New World”-esque prediction, Baba Vanga foresaw that by 2024, humans will be designed and born in labs. It’s not clear if the prophet actually meant that the human population could be tweaked on a genetic level or something that is less dystopian. However, in 2023, researchers successfully created a human embryo in a lab without the use of a fertilized egg or womb. So, maybe Baba Vanga is right after all.

Baba Vanga’s prediction for the future
While the Bulgarian prophet passed away in 1996, she left predictions spanning well into the future — as far as the year 5079, when she believed the world would end. Among her landmark future predictions, she claimed that communism would return in 2076 and that time travel would become possible by 2304. So, who knows? Perhaps this entire article was written from the year 2305, confirming that Baba Vanga was right. Or was she?
