Recently, I have heard about this famous Bulgarian prophetess, Vanga. This is her most famous prophecy:


Her most shocking prediction was made in 1980. The blind old woman said: "At the turn of the century, in August of 1999 or 2000, Kursk will be covered with water, and the whole world will be weeping over it."

The prediction did not make any sense back then. Twenty years on, it made a horrifying sense. A Russian nuclear submarine perished in an accident in August of 2000. The sub was named after the city of Kursk , which by no means could have been covered with water.


Hmm... How the hell did she do that?! I mean, you can't say that it is just in the interpretation. This is straight forward. She even said the month. WTF?

Here is a bit more on her if you'd like to read:

That prophecy was a product of her imagination. And coincidences happen. And the whole world did not weep over the perished russian nuclear submarine.

Ok about the weeping, but that is way to much for just pure luck.

No it isn't. Humans have been repeatedly shown to massively underestimate how prevalent coincidence is in our life. It seems huge when you look at that one prophecy. When you take every prophecy that was every made, it seems perfectly probable that every now and then one is spot on.


Listen, I don't want to debate over this. I just posted this because it looked interesting. As I said, I am really skeptic about all supernatural things.

But this just looked weird. So I posted it.

I mean, if you wanted to take a straight-forward look at it, she was wrong. No one cared about the Russinan sub other than some Russians, who are hardly the whole world. How she did it was luck.

She got the month right. And she said two years. One of them was right. She said the name of it. When did you see someone randomly naming a Russian city that has a submarine named after it, and after that even guessing the month and the year right. I am usually quite skeptic about paranormal stuff, but this is really too much of a coincidence. Its weird.
