Baba Vanga
Baba Vanga , born Vangelia Pandeva Dimitrova , known after her marriage as Vangelia Gushterova , was a blind Bulgarian mystic, clairvoyant, and herbalist, who spent most of her life in the Rupite area in the Kozhuh mountains Bulgaria. Millions of people around the world were convinced that she possessed paranormal abilities.
Vanga was born in Strumica, then in the Ottoman Empire. She was a premature baby who suffered from health complications. In accordance with local tradition, the baby was not given a name until it was deemed likely to survive. When the baby first cried out, a midwife went into the street and asked a stranger for a name. The stranger proposed Andromaha , but this was rejected for being too Greek during a period of antiHellenic sentiment within Bulgarian society. Another strangers proposal was a Greek name, but popular with Bulgarians in the region Vangelia .
