Born Vangelia Gushterova, Baba Vanga was blinded as a child in a freak tornado accident.
However, she went on to believe that she had been gifted the power of foresight and made hundreds of predictions.
She rose to prominence as a clairvoyant after predicting the sinking of the Kursk submarine over a decade before it did.
In 1980, she predicted that in August 1999 the “Kursk will be covered with water and the whole world will weep over it”.
