Blind Bulgarian mystic Baba Venga, who died more than 25 years ago, predicted two events that we are experiencing now. She claimed that the world would "face an economic crisis" this year - and now Britain and Japan seem to be facing such a crisis.
Her forecast includes an unusual change in the Earth's orbit that could cause climate disruptions and an increase in radiation levels. Believers, who interpret her writings, claim that although she did not know what "cyber attacks" were, she warned about advanced hackers who intend to attack vital infrastructure such as electricity networks and water treatment facilities - and pose a threat to national security. She also predicts an assassination attempt on the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, by his countryman. Is there a reason to be afraid or were the two predictions she was right about predictable anyway? The medium's further prediction for the coming year was that we will have "drastic developments" in the health sector - and in recent weeks there has been confirmation that a lung cancer vaccine is now in the works.
