In eastern european internet there are loads of clickbait ads saying "Vanga predicted the world will end in [this year]" with a picture of exploding earth every year
As a Bulgarian they use her as propaganda which is disgusting. She helped people and did not made any predictions for the future and she built a church with the donations that's it... And everything with dates is fake, she never used dates or years
@@SHDOW_BONNIE ти и приятелчетата ти сте срам и позор за България. Ей затова ще живеете в скапана държава, защото всичките не ставате за нищо. А ти си гледай някъв дългокос скапаняк и се пипай, няма проблем.
I like how the article in the thumbnail says “she allegedly predicted 9/11, Obama, and the Boxing Day Tsunami” as if Obama is some tragic event like the other two 😂
In Russia too, but we simply call her "Vanga". Also, on Russian-speaking internet forums, people have long been using a verb form based on her name, "Vanguy", which essentially means to predict or prophesy. Like "Vanguy: this won't end well".

Baba Vanga wouldn't call planes "steel birds" as though she were an ancient person who had no concept of an airplane. She knew what planes were and would say PLANES
@@bigben9492 all jokes of course but as a plane nerd i just wanted to say Im not sure what the time line was but i think she was supposed to have said that in the 80s when we had fuckin f-15s n shit 😂😂 in fact we were closer to the development of the f-22 at that point than we were to the invention of the jet engine Just as a timeline of how known the concept of a plane would be
@@arongilbert5828 obviously a plane. It's a made up "prophecy." Bish was born in 1911 and lived through jets becoming mainstream. She isn't going to say a steel bird.
I am Bulgarian and my grandparents, supposedly, visited her (people waited in lines to talk to her) after their Polski Fiat car got stolen. She said "It's gone. Don't look for it"
Reminds me a bit of people freaking out whenever The Simpsons predicts something. That show's been going for 30+ years and has hundreds of episodes, and I'm sure there are more predictions or jokes about the future that haven't come true... but no one remembers those.
Its even more worse now with ai art just recently a ai generated art of the simpsons characters seeing a collapse bridge was falsey stating they predicted the baltimore bridge collapse that was posted all over Facebook and tiktok
My absolute favorite thing is when they make a joke about a contemporary issue that is still relevant today, and people call that predicting the future. No, they didn't predict it, we just haven't solved 30 year old problems, and that's depressing.
Very similar to how one piece predicted pirates I still get chills thinking about the foreshadowing in that show and how pirates didn’t exist before then I shudder to think if when they find the one piece it was actually predicting WW3 all along…
''I'm sure there are more predictions or jokes about the future that haven't come true... but no one remembers those.'' Yet for some reason, you can't mention a single one. Yeah, you're so ''sure'' of something that you can't even remember or state. You're making an argument with 0 proof behind it yet got likes for some reason? The Simpsons did factually predict many terrible events. No other show has done that in the 21st century. You guys are denying that this reality is rigged, look at the Illuminati card game as well for more proof. The Bible is the truth!
Baba Vanga was a very respected person in Bulgaria during the 20th century. People viewed her almost as a saint because she lived in poverty and donated her little money to build a church. Also, she was a famous spiritual healer. My grandmother went to see Baba Vanga in the 70s and she helped her cure her insomnia. Stuff like that. The prediction aspect of Baba Vanga was mostly made up after her death, and most Bulgarians don't believe in that stuff but still respect her.
I once tried to convince my mother that Vanga is a fraud. After 3 hours, I went to my room defeated. Parents often say that the internet brainwashes their children, and yet they will believe anything they see on TV or in the news without bothering to fact-check. Also, the fact that they are so sure and trusting of events, as if they were there themselves, is what pisses me off the most.
tell em vanga predicted they're gonna give you a triple income allowance for doing nothing and then show them a website you make in chat gpt to prove it
Oh yeah, I vaguely remember a documentary about that. Nostradamus' prediction was something like "the new city of the great empire will be scorched with the fires of the earth" or something along those lines. And then the people who believe that it's a prediction were saying stuff like "well, obviously the great empire is America, a 'new city' must be New York, and fires of the earth is burning oil, duh" And the skeptics were saying "yeah, this just sounds like a recounting of (historical disaster) where a city got destroyed by lava from a volcano", but put into future tense instead of past.
I'm from Russia and oh god Baba Vanga is like a passed local celebrity here. 10 years ago every news articles were just flooded with her "predictions" like "Trump will fight Putin to marry Godzilla"
Yet still her predictions are more based in science than today's climate alarmists in America... She's not that bad when you compare her to what we have over here lol!
A very little unknown fact, baba vanga in her 1994 prediction, stated that the greatest actor ever would be born and would later go onto one of the biggest series of all time and with a single scene be the most important actors to be studied in universities to replicate the presence, charisma and the sheer stage presence of that one single actor. She nicknamed him "влажна критична", or if we say in english, Moist critical.
Baba(which means granny) Vanga(her name) is highly regarded in Bulgaria. She is known for her small scale person to person predictions. People specifically went to her for a prediction and she guided people (stories from friends). Also she died 96 obviously there wont be any evidence of her saying stuff about 9/11 pre 2001. All of her predictions were spread by word of mouth. Biggest of all is that she spoke in riddles in old style Bulgarian and hasnt made predictions about the world at all. She just spoke with people and headed them in the right direction when they had questions. So that list is bs lol
Vanga is very popular in my country. I’m from Georgia and we have a saying: how would i know i am not Vanga. Or if we predict something we say: what can i say I’m Vanga. It’s so much fun for me to see you react to this. Great video.
People stick clickbaits on her name. As a bulgarian, I’ve been told her gift was in helping others in difficult situations in life by giving advice, they believed she knew best. They would often come visit her and since she is blind it was believed that her other senses were heightened like sensing aura, looking into the future of someone etc.
I'm Bulgarian, I've never pressed a notification so quickly, because for me to see one of my fav youtubers to talk about my country is wild. And as far as i know we're related. Tbh the things written on the internet are not really true. The Bulgarians revere this woman because whoever went to her for advice, her predictions were always true. My family also has stories with her. Also, no one is taking the given years seriously, just the predictions but still with a grain of salt. The internet is really doing her wrong. What is written on the internet about her is only half true. She really is a great woman and does not deserve to have lies written about her...
I don't watch Charlie's streams, but I love that whenever he uses a clip, it starts with some rando in chat if he's heard of a very obscure specific thing, and he says 'yeah', and goes into a news story and makes a video about it.

Predicted said Jesus to star in the Hunger Games movie as one of people who raised their hand up in the film and carried the whole franchise on their back at that moment
Most of people in Bulgaria did not have internet 26 years ago, so we rely on people that visited her to tell. Im from bulgaria, she really predicted quite a lot of stuff
My great grandpa, who worked in border patrol during bulgaria's comununist regime, went to Baba Vanga out of curiosity. And while waiting outside her house with a crowd of people wanting to speak to her, a helper of hers came outside and asked for a border patrol guy of the same region as my grandpa to leave, because the other people in line had actual problems and he was here just out of curiosity. My grandpawas shocked that she knew who he was even though they've never met before and left
As a Bulgarian, I can assure you that even most Bulgarians don't believe 95% of the shit that's being said she predicted, even though she most likely didn't. Her words have been twisted and re-written so many times it's nowadays pretty much impossible to know for sure exactly what she has and hasn't said.
@@12stepsbeyondtheeventhorizon За мен баба Ванга е повече позната, като гадателка, която е помагнала на много, особено в индивидуален аспект. Сега вече с тези масови предсказания и глупости, които представят много медии е само за заблуда и интерес към глупостите им.
As a bulgarian i would like to put some more details into the case of Baba Vanga. First of all, i am pretty sure that there is no evidence of her ever making any predicitons about the world hundreds/thousands of years from now. In fact she used to speak in "riddles"(never mentioned concrete years and such, as in the article) expressed in old-styled bulgarian, so she couldn´t possibly use words such as nuclear weapons, time travel etc. In other words, it is safe to say that the whole list of predictions she made is some made up bullshit from the media. Second of all, in our country she actually gained her fame through having conversations with people who had relatives that went missing, giving them hope or some kind of leads. She used to have dozens if not hundreds of visitors at her house every day. Kinda messed up that the media today is portraying her as this crazy fortune teller.
Thank you for the explanation! I saw another comment that said she didn't want her negative predictions to be spoken about after her death, so it's a shame people are talking about exactly those, as well as attributing their own or others' predictions as hers.
When watching something about Nostradamus once, I heard this type of "prophesizing" metaphorically described as "Someone shot a bunch of arrows into a wall, and every once in a while someone else comes along and paints bullseyes around them to show how accurate they were"
the same technique is used for scamming people too. A dude will call like 100 people and to half of them claim a stock will rise, and the other half that the stock will fall. By claiming he's cracked the algorithm or some such wild nonse Then depending which way it goes he calls the people who got the correct info and makes another prediction, half hearing another will go up, the other half hearing it will go down. Do that 3 times and you'll have some people who have heard the correct prediction each time and are now more primed to get scammed for cash
In Russian, "to vanga" is a commonly accepted slang verb for expecting something especially if it's like a bet. Like you can look at the clouds and say "I'm vangin' it's gonna rain soon" and most people will understand it.
The thing is that all these "mystics" predict things like "Eventually there will be a sunny day" or much more cryptic stuff, like "The bear dances on the meadow" or some crap that are either completely obvious, or so cryptic that you can twist it however you like and call it a day
Agreed. They leave it just vague enough to allow any sort of seeming similarities to be true. If I guess everything that is possible then there's 0 I can be wrong on.
As a Bulgarian, I totally agree with Charlie, however most of her "predictions" on those websites are so fake and fabricated, I've always known that she glossed over most bad stuff, she did not actually want to share them. She loved people and was mostly predicting stuff around their lives.
I thinks it a similar story with Nostradamus and his predictions. Sadly in this day and age of the internet, there’ll be plenty a website of so called predictions from baba vanga or Nostradamus or some other person no one has heard of.
@@robertnapier624 I feel like those who use them two to make damning "predictions" are just using their names for clout or whatever reason and probably they never predicted them in the first place, but like tradition, since their dead and not around to call out such, these people can make things up and say they predicted these and they cannot say anything because they are dead even if there aren't any evidence to prove that they predicted them, just a word from mouth and the pre-internet of "trust me bro", so yeah
I'm bulgarian and my mom used to tell me stories when i was little about how she predicted a lot of things and whatnot but after a couple of years i forgot about her but now after seeing Charlie's video, i'm realising how stupid all those things my mother told me sounded😭
I'm Bulgarian and I've never clicked on a notification so fast. It's pretty weird to see a myth from my country get featured on a channel I frequently watch

I support calling her the Nostradamus of predictions, because Nostradamus got pretty much everything wrong too. The strategy, it seems, is to go the scatter shot route and predict so many different things with such vague wording and timing, that you end up seemingly getting a few things right by sheer coincidence. A broken clock is right twice a day, so over 10 years a broken clock's going to have a pretty good track record of individual instances of getting the time right!
@@Pope_Protein that’s true and I did consider writing 7304 and 7306 depending on when you start but I decided for better understanding to just use 2 leap years instead of 3 :) but I did consider it haha
5078, we decide to leave the boundaries of the universe 5079, everyone dies Clearly what lies beyond the boundaries of the universe is some lovecraftian horror that we went and woke up.
As a Bulgarian, seeing Charlie talk about Baba Vanga is the wildest combination :D And yeah, literally every year articles come out about her predicting the end of the world. No one believes them. If you see her "predictions" in an online article, it's fake, especially with words like "robots", "cloning" and complex scientific terminology. In reality, people went to her house every day to get free help with their questions, but she wasn't all-seeing. She spoke in riddles that could be interpreted differently. However, she was big with the powers that be, and became famous with Slavic (especially Russian) mysticism believers. To this day we have countless fortune tellers that claim to be her spiritual descendants, as well as political figures using her alleged words for their propaganda.
Makes me sad people in this comment section making fun of her name. Westerners hate their reputation they have in the rest of the world, but like they act like this when they see a no -english name.
Yeah, i think i stumbled on one couple of years ago and the source was Vangas neighbors niece who was there for the summer break and overheard something only to remember it 20 years later and the rest will shock you. PHOTO | VIDEO
@@Ilivedbihit’s wild because it’s a pretty normal sounding name compared to some of my friends names. But people will just make fun of any name that isn’t English I guess??
Psychic playbook: 1) vague and metaphorical language that is open to infinite interpretation. (Everything written by Nostradamus.) 2) high-probability predictions. “There will be a conflict in Europe.” 3) The large majority of specific and lower probability predictions will be wrong. Just pretend none of it happened.
Were they predictions like 'If you put me in a nursing home, one day you will find your brake-lines cut'? If so, keep an eye out and watch for the signs, you might see something mystical occur.
one my family members went to her and they asked about their dying mother or sister or someone else (i don’t remember) and she said “she was a good person, she was a good person”
28 years ago Baba Vanga predicted that jesus would make a public acknowledgement about her existence on 04/19/2024 and try to make her sound like a fraud. Checkmate.
Having this "drama" occur immediately after Shift Up claimed that Stellar Blade will not suffer censorship is not the best look for them. I am not so much annoyed at this insignificant change as I am the precedent it sets for the future of the game. I am wholly expecting some outfits or even EVE herself getting nerfed later on in the game's lifetime. Feels bad, man.
I think she "supposedly" did. I remember reading one of her predictions and one of them was supposedly humans being absorbed by automatons, all of the lifestyle was directed by them and life was "dull". There's this youtuber in latam that every now and then makes an analysis about her and I think in one of those videos, he pulled that 😂
As a Bulgarian, I would've never expected Charlie to cover this, she is super famous, basically a modern mythology in Bulgaria. Edit: I guess she is/was famous all around the Eastern Block. Fun fact: one theory for why supposedly a lot of trivial predictions of Baba Vanga were 100% correct (e.g. location of stolen cars and similar were fed to her by the Soviet intelligence agencies)
I laughed already as I saw the preview. I knew it's gonna be gold. Charlie learned about the Vanga feels so surreal tho. I'm Russian, and my own grandma believed in Vanga's predictions like for real, and she bothers me with that time to time, which is also hilarious. It's such a legendary meme, so epic to see on this channel. (Also I feel bad personally for old lady, they just don't let her rest in peace.)
Watching Charlie discover Vanga is surreal. Where i'm from she is pretty much a mythological figure in a sense that everybody knows about her. Imagine an eastern european "bermuda triangle". Not many people believe it or think about it, but everybody knows what it is.
I love how charlie starts reading the list of predictions like me reading the roadmap for my favorite video game "ahh we're getting nuclear energy next update" "ahh we're getting nuked next year"
I predict that the sky will get dark, then bright, then dark, then bright, and repeat like that mostly uninterrupted for a very long time. I am clearly gifted with prophecy.
Hello as a fellow bulgarian here I decided to clear out some misconception. Baba Vanga has made thousands of predictions throughout her life, so there are bound to be some that are true and some that aren't. But the main issue here is that the media portrays her as a person who only has negative predictions and predicting all of these tragedies, when in reality in an interview with her a few years before she past away she told her only wish after she dies is for the media to not talk about all of her bad and negative predictions ( which sadly most of them are an urban legend or just entirely made up). In her life she made countless good and positive predictions, like the fact that the next generations will be saviors of the planet, that we won't ever have another world war, that we will achieve peace and etc. So in conclusion: Baba Vanga predicted mostly good things and most of the bad ones are made up for shock value.
I am Bulgarian myself, I know several people who have gone to see her in person when she was alive and all of them have extremely chilling stories about what she told them and how accurate it was/turned out to be. There are many fraudulent claims online made just to click bait, but she was a phenomenon, no doubt about it.
In Russia, baba Vanga was a real big deal at the start of 2010's, especially with the 2012 apocalypse and stuff. Every year there's some more predictions from her showing up out of nowhere lmao
This character is deeply in slavic folklore already. It's even in language: russian neologism "вангует" which is literally "vanguing" describes an unfounded prediction, usually with a sarcastic manner
This is on the same level as people who believe in Horoscopes, she literally says vague predictions that anyone can “predict” and its working like a charm.
