Baba Vanga, the Bulgarian mystic who predicted 9/11 and the rise of Donald Trump, is still sharing visions years after her death - including for 2023.
Known as the "Nostradamus of the Balkans", the blind psychic gained quite a following right up until her passing in 1996. Prior to her death at the age of 84, she left predictions for decades to come.
Disasters seem to be at the forefront of the clairvoyant's visions and this year is no exception. Centred around science and space - including bioweapons - her predictions come true, 2023 could mean a grim year for us all.
While her predictions have been mixed, she has been previously lauded for warning the American public of being attacked by "steel birds" - the planes which would hit the Twin Towers in New York City in 2001.
In 1989, she allegedly said: "The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. The wolves will be howling in a bush, and innocent blood will be gushing."
As 2022 draws to a close, it's time to examine Baba Vanga's predictions.
Solar Storm
The mystic has claimed that a solar storm is set to occur in 2023 and will have drastic consequences.
According to the space experts at Nasa, a solar storm refers to several natural phenomena which take place on the sun's surface, driven by the solar magnetic field.
This includes solar flares, which are intense bursts of radiation that explode from the star, and coronal mass ejections which see huge eruptions of plasma from the sun's surface.
The radiation released can disrupt radio communications. These storms impact every electronic and communication system - from the internet to power, and are also capable of destroying satellites.
If a solar storm was to happen, it would cause widespread disruptions, possibly worldwide and this would no doubt cause havoc.
Knowing this, let's hope this is one of Baba's predictions that doesn't come to fruition.
Earth's orbit
Baba Vanga has also foreseen a change in the Earth's orbit will take place in 2023.
Space.com explains that earth travels 584 million miles around the sun annually at a tilted oval axis and not a perfect circle.
Earth's orbit can shift slightly due to gravitational forces of other planets, though shifting in such a radical way in just a year would be devastating.
This shift would have devastating environmental impacts, like soaring temperatures, changing tides and spikes in radiation levels.
Bioweapons
Finally, Baba has reported that bioweapons tests will be carried out next year.
This prediction is quite concerning, given the current geopolitical climate, particularly the on-going war between Russia and Ukraine.
It is worth noting that Baba Vanga has given little details on these possible weapon experiments - so it is impossible to know exactly what the mystic is referring to.
While these potential outcomes are worrying, it is important to remember that Baba Vanga's predictions are vague and cryptic, with many of them being disputed in the past.
With such dismal predictions on the cards, let's hope that this year is the same.
