According to an article by the New York Post published on January 8th, the mystic Baba Vanga predicted that the year of 2026 will be marked by war and destruction. She has allegedly predicted that World War III will break out in 2026, and this will also be the year of humanity’s first contact with extraterrestrial life.
It’s been three decades since Baba Vanga died; however, such claims continue to circulate online, without any verification.
Vanga lost her sight when she was 12 during a violent storm, and her supporters believe that Vanga’s clairvoyant abilities began after that.
Netizens have started linking contemporary geopolitical flashpoints with her alleged warnings about the year 2026.
The geopolitical flashpoints include unrest in the Middle East, Latin America and broader great-power rivalry.
Across social media platforms, Vanga’s alleged World War III prediction is trending with many users believing it to be true.
The following claims for 2026 are attributed to Vanga:
- Natural disasters, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and extreme climate events. Australia is currently facing deadly bushfires.
- The predictions also claim that major powers will conflict with each other. With the ouster of Maduro, tensions between China and US are high.
- It also states that the world will face severe economic disruption linked to a war in Europe. Trump is consistently threatening to take over Greenland.
Baba Vanga: Is she always accurate?
Vanga has predicted a few events accurately. This includes major world events such as the 9/11 attacks, Barack Obama becoming the US’s President, the sinking of the Russian submarine Kursk, and even the Chernobyl Nuclear disaster.
However, she also has some misses, which include that World War III will begin in 2010 and that the extraterrestrials were supposed to appear in 2025.
Whether or not these predictions will come to pass, many social media users are highly invested in them, with some believing them.
