S7 E1 | The Many Predictions of Baba Vanga
Jan 14, 202400:28:27Tap to summarizeI Want to Believe Podcast – S7 E1 | The Many Predictions of Baba Vanga Opening song: New Season by Nadiiife Closing song: Everybody's Safe Until... by Paris Texas Clips: Myth Stories & Most Amazing Top Ten Welcome to the season 7 premier of the I Want to Believe podcast! We have a special guest co-host with us today… they are the creator of Kiwi’s Cryptid World, they are an artist and photographer and turns out... they are also the love of my life. Her name is Christina. Tonight, our story starts in Bulgaria and ends in the cosmos. Baba Vanga was a Bulgarian woman who lost her sight as a child. In 1923, at 12 years old, Vanga claimed that she was caught in a tornado and thrown into a field. After the storm, she could not be located and her family assembled a search party. After nearly 72 hours, Vanga was found. She was frightened, bruised and covered in dirt. She was cleaned and doctors addressed her superficial wounds but they found that she could not open her eyes. Vanga told them that her eyes hurt and felt as if there was sand and dirt inside of them. She claimed that she had her first vision during that storm. She eventually lost her sight over the following years. Her visions of the future became stronger during those years as well. Over time, she became world renowned for her accurate predictions which included the death of Hitler, Stalin, the Kennedy brothers, and numerous presidential elections. With this episode, we'll tell you about her life, her past predictions and what she said is in store for us for 2024 and beyond.
