Baba Vanga, late blind Bulgarian prophet with paranormal abilities. It's believed she was able to see and feel things that are beyond the senses of ordinary people.
Here is the list of all of her predictions 2010-5079:

normally, i laugh at this stuff.
not that i believe her predictions or anything, but there is such a real threat in something like happening that it sent a chill down my spline'2010 – World War III. War will begin in November 2010 and end in October 2014. Will begin as usual, then nuclear will be used initially, and then chemical weapons....
Then Muslims will wage war against chemical surviving Europeans."

jeez man, dunno why but this shit has shaken me up. how would a lil ol lady like that make up some of this shit?

As entertaining and as scary as this is, I can't help thinking it's a bit bollocks. Firstly, how come when you google Baba Vanga, all the prediction sites are dated post 2006, when surely these were common knowledge and publicised on the net well before then.
Next what about this:
2010 – World War III. War will begin in November 2010 and end in October 2014. Will begin as usual, then nuclear will be used initially, and then chemical weapons.
2028 – Creating a new energy source (probably a controlled thermonuclear reaction). Hunger is gradually being overcome. Launched a manned spacecraft to Venus.
So in the space of 14 years, in a post-apocalyptic Earth, we manage to build a spacecraft capable of carrying man to Venus? Somehow I find this a little hard to believe.

Ok, I've googled her, these predictions are not hers, but a translation from some russian sensationalist newspaper
Shes did predict some stuff, but not as detailed and not further then 2050

zombee: Well, they are predictions after all. As whereRI said, I also usually laugh at this stuff but honestly, this sort of did send chill down my spine.
As far as I understand, she was illiterate and blind and in some small village in Bulgaria, others around her were writing the stuff she said down and than passed to others. There are loads of articles on her predictions on google - all in all.. I just don't know what to make of it.

The "prophecies" of Nostradamus and Baba Vanga were so vague and unintelligible that they could reasonably refer to anything. Furthermore, people have heavily adulterated Nostradamus's words to make it seem like he predicted specific events. After the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, for example, several "spooky" Nostradamus predictions began floating around that spoke of "metal birds" or "steel birds" crashing into "giant statues" in the "land of york". Problem is, Nostradamus never wrote any of that. Many of these so-called predictions were doctored by people who had the benefit of hindsight to make it seem as if they very closely predicted the 9/11 attacks. They did no such thing.
Bottom line: you can take the incoherent ramblings of a self-designated "prophet" and use them to predict anything, provided they're vague enough. If, heaven forbid, something disastrous DOES happen in 2010, you can bet that the Nostradamus and Baba Vanga apologists will be quick to show exactly when and where either of those "prophets" predicted it. If nothing major happens, then they'll simply shift their predictions to 2011. It's all creative interpretation, unscrupulous editing, and cherry-picking, my friend.
In order for me to be convinced of a "prophet's" reality, that person would have to make very specific predictions that he or she would have no way of knowing and which couldn't have simply been guessed. For example, claiming that there will be a great war in the 21st century is a a no-brainer. For one, how do you define a great war? Furthermore, wars happen all the time. I would be more impressed if the prophet said that there would be NO wars in the 21st century and if that came true!

Can't she just pick some stocks that will outperform the market! That would be more helpful than foretelling the end of the world as we know it.
