Some of you may be considering what kind of New Year’s resolutions you could make as 2025 draws near. If these forecasts come true, then there’s no need to worry.
Yes, as 2024 draws to a close, the ghosts of the past become more audible as two of history’s most mysterious people, Baba Vanga and Nostradamus, make terrifying prophecies that never cease to both enthrall and horrify.
The prophetic abilities ascribed to these fabled seers have been a subject of discussion for many years, regardless of one’s stance.
Despite having died away in 1996, Baba Vanga, the blind Bulgarian mystic born Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, is credited with an amazing 85% accuracy rate in her predictions.
According to The Economic Times, they have reportedly included Barack Obama’s presidency, the 9/11 attacks, and Princess Diana’s passing.
With predictions spanning the next three millennia (scroll to the bottom of the page for that delightful reading), her prophetic talent has left a lasting effect and cemented her place as a formidable force in the field of prophetic mystery.
Furthermore, the 16th-century French astrologer Nostradamus recorded his visions in the enigmatic quatrains of his book Les Prophéties, published in 1555.
His predictions are credited with predicting significant occurrences as the ascent to power of Adolf Hitler, the murder of President Kennedy, and the September 11 terrorist attacks, solidifying his status as a visionary whose writings are constantly examined for hints about what lies ahead.
Unsettling Forecasts for 2025
2025 has been identified by both seers as a critical year with serious ramifications for the international scene:
Nostradamus predicts the rise of a dark cult and the establishment of an underwater dominion.
In the meantime, Baba Vanga adds a futuristic perspective to our comprehension of human potential when he anticipates the development of telepathy.
But the projections also have a darker tone when it comes to war predictions.
Both foresee a catastrophic war in Europe; Nostradamus refers to it as involving “cruel wars,” but he also cryptically states that “the ancient plague will be worse than enemies.”
Furthermore, Baba Vanga forebodingly says that this fight will “devastate” populations, which bodes ill for the near future and makes me wonder if I should really bother purchasing my yearly calendar featuring Neil Diamond.
And if that’s not enough to keep you up at night, Nostradamus also predicts the arrival of an asteroid on Earth, saying that “a fireball will rise from the cosmos, The world begs you to be a forerunner of fate. The fate of the Earth, a second chance: science and fate in a cosmic dance.
A Hint of Hope and Intriguing Extraterrestrials
There are glimmers of hope despite the ominous predictions.
According to Sky History, Nostradamus alludes to a potential end to the continuing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, speculating that interventions by countries such as France or Turkey might usher in peace and that both sides will eventually run out of energy.
Strangely enough, both seers hint at the prospect of extraterrestrial encounters; Baba Vanga, for example, speculates that aliens might show up at a big athletic event.
However, as I have already stated, Baba Vanga left us forecasts that would last for 3,056 years when he passed away. Needless to say, things don’t seem to work out well with the aliens.
Baba Vanga was a person who?
According to the Mirror, Baba Vanga, known as the “Nostradamus of the Balkans,” is said to have had an accuracy rate of 85%. Her forecasts have been known to come true even after her death.
At the age of twelve, she was supposedly blinded by a storm, during which her mystic talents apparently materialized.
However, what prophecy of the mystic has apparently come true in the past?
The terrorist strikes of 9/11
She made the menacing prognosis in 1989: “Oh, horror! The steel birds will attack and then the American brothers will fall. The terrifying allusion to “steel birds” may refer to the aircraft that Al-Qaeda hijacked and used in the horrific 9/11 attacks in 2001.
The Kursk’s sinking.
In 1980, Baba had a terrible vision of Kursk, Russia, being “covered with water, and the whole world will weep over it.” Her prediction was confirmed when a nuclear submarine sank close to Kursk in August 2000, killing 188 crew members.
Given the realization of those terrifying prophecies, it becomes plausible that you might want to worry about the following 3,000+ years. Here’s how she see the next three millennia developing, from the New York Post:
2025: The population of Europe will be destroyed by a conflict.
2028: Research on Venus as a potential energy source will start by humans.
2033: Sea levels will rise dramatically on a global scale due to the melting of the polar ice caps.
2076: Communism will take hold in numerous nations worldwide.
2130: Aliens will make contact with humans.
2170: Much of the globe will be destroyed by drought.
3005: A Martian civilization and Earth will engage in combat.
3797: The Earth is no longer habitable, and humans will have to leave.
5079: The end of the world.
My Greedy Fiancée Was Ashamed of Showing My ‘Cheap’ Engagement Ring & Posted a Fake One – She Regretted It Later
When I proposed to Micah, I never imagined that the ring I chose would spark a revelation that shattered our relationship. What began as a joyful engagement quickly turned into a test of honesty and character, exposing truths neither of us could ignore.

Micah and I had been dating for a year before we decided to get engaged. I was over the moon and couldn’t wait to share the news with our families and friends. I chose a modest yet elegant diamond ring that I felt symbolized our genuine love and commitment.

The next morning, I got a call from my mom, who was thrilled about the engagement. Her excitement was contagious, and I felt even more elated to hear her enthusiastic congratulations. Little did I know that this phone call would be the beginning of an unexpected and revealing turn of events that would change everything.

“Congratulations, honey! I’m so happy for you!” my mom’s voice was filled with joy.
“Thanks, Mom! But how did you find out so quickly?” I asked, puzzled.
“Micah just posted it on Facebook! The yellow diamond looks so unusual,” she said.
“Yellow??” I replied, my confusion growing.

I hurried to my laptop and navigated to Micah’s Facebook page. I scrolled through her feed and saw a picture of her hand adorned with a ring that looked nothing like the one I had given her. Instead of the modest diamond ring I had chosen, there was a flashy yellow diamond ring in the photo.

It was clear that she wanted to showcase something more extravagant than what I had offered. My heart sank as I realized she had chosen to post a fake ring instead of proudly showing the one I gave her.

I felt a mix of betrayal and sadness, questioning her true feelings about our engagement. I wondered how many other things she had been dishonest about, and whether our entire relationship was built on lies.

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I needed answers right away, so I confronted Micah.
“Why did you post a different ring on Facebook?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
Micah looked at me, clearly uncomfortable. “You really expected me to show off that cheap ring? I thought you’d get me something nicer. I’m kinda embarrassed by it. But you don’t want me to feel bad, right?”

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. This wasn’t the Micah I thought I knew. We had always been honest with each other, or so I believed. Her words stung, revealing a side of her I hadn’t seen before. I felt a growing sense of disappointment as I realized how much she valued material appearances over our relationship.

I remembered the many conversations we’d had about values and how we both claimed to prioritize honesty and simplicity over material things. Now, I saw that her words were empty, and it hurt deeply.

“Of course, I don’t want you to feel bad. But there’s more to this than you realize,” I said, hinting at what I knew.
Micah’s confusion was evident. “What do you mean?” she asked, a frown forming on her face.

I looked at her, my expression serious. “Two weeks before our proposal, I got a call from your ex. He told me something interesting about you. He mentioned how he proposed to you with a ring, and you called it cheap and posted a fake one instead. I personally chose this ring for you.”
Micah’s eyes widened as I revealed the real ring. “Oh honey, it’s so beautiful! It’s exactly what I wanted. Thank you!”

I could see the excitement in her eyes, but it only deepened my resolve. “You don’t understand. I bought this ring for you and would have given it to you if you had passed the test. But, as we all saw, you failed.”

I remembered my conversation with her ex, how he described the heartbreak he felt when she dismissed his sincere gesture for not being flashy enough. His words echoed in my mind, reinforcing my decision to test her.

Her tears flowed as she continued to plead, “Please, I can explain! I was just embarrassed. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
Micah’s face went pale, and she started to panic. “You can’t be serious! This is so unfair! How could you set me up like this? I thought you loved me!” she cried, her voice rising.

I remained calm, watching her reaction. “I did love you, but I can’t be with someone who values material things over honesty and respect. This was a test to see if you had changed, and clearly, you haven’t.”
Her tears flowed as she continued to plead, “Please, I can explain! I was just embarrassed. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
But I was resolute. “Actions speak louder than words, Micah. I need someone who values me for who I am, not for the price tag of a ring.”

Ignoring her desperate attempts to explain, I packed my things and left, feeling a mix of sadness and relief. I knew it was the right decision, but it still hurt to walk away from someone I had once loved deeply.

As I packed my belongings, Micah continued to plead, “We can work this out, please! I just wanted something to show off to my friends. It didn’t mean I don’t love you.”

I paused for a moment, considering her words. “It’s not about the ring, Micah. It’s about trust and honesty. If you can’t be proud of what we have without needing to impress others, then what do we really have?” With that, I walked out the door, feeling a heavy weight lift off my shoulders.

As I walked out of the door, I felt a strange sense of relief. Later, I decided to reach out to her ex-fiancé to express my gratitude.
“Thank you for telling me about her true colors. You saved me from making a huge mistake,” I told him.
He sounded genuinely relieved as well. “I’m glad my experience could help someone else. It’s tough, but better to know now than later.”

Reflecting on everything that happened, I realized how much I had been willing to overlook in the name of love. I learned a valuable lesson about trust and the importance of true character.

This experience opened my eyes to what really matters in a relationship. Although it was painful to end things with Micah, I knew it was the right decision for my future happiness. Moving on, I was determined to find someone who would value me for who I am, not for what I could buy.

In the next few weeks, I leaned on friends and family, seeking their support and wisdom. I knew that I couldn’t overcome this alone and having their support was invaluable to me.

Now, I know the type of girl that I want and how to spot the red flags at the beginning of a relationship. I’m so grateful I didn’t marry the wrong person.
