Baba Vanga, the famous Bulgarian mystic who predicts events in the future, still makes headlines - despite the fact she died in 1996. The 'Nostradamus of the Balkans' most recent prediction is about 2021 - the psychic says that we will see 'a lot of cataclysms and great disasters'. Great. But who actually is the mysterious fortune-teller? Vanga was born in 1911, prematurely. She herself claimed her life was completely changed when out of nowhere, a tornado allegedly lifted her off the ground, throwing her into a nearby field.
