Terrifying disaster prediction from psychic dubbed 'new Baba Vanga' comes true AGAIN

Terrifying disaster prediction from psychic dubbed 'new Baba Vanga' comes true AGAIN

Daily Mail​31-07-2025
A chilling prophecy made more than two decades ago by a self-proclaimed psychic known as the 'new Baba Vanga' appears to have come true.
Ryo Tatsuki, a manga artist from Japan, first rose to prominence in the late 1990s after publishing her hauntingly detailed predictions in the cult book The Future I Saw.
Indeed, the psychic has correctly predicted the deaths of Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana, along with a myriad of major world events - including the Kobe earthquake in 2011 and even the Covid-19 pandemic.
Tatsuki, who's drawn frequent comparisons to the famous fortune teller Baba Vanga, has earned a reputation for eerily accurate predictions of some of the world's most devastating catastrophes.
This week, the world is watching with renewed interest in her predictions as numerous countries on the Pacific coast were told to brace for a tsunami after one of the most powerful earthquakes that the world has ever seen rocked Russia.
The 8.8 magnitude quake erupted near the Kuril Islands on 30 July, sending tremors rippling across the Pacific Rim.
Authorities across Japan, the US, and parts of Southeast Asia scrambled to assess the risk of towering waves and people were told to move to higher ground.
It appears Tatsuki's novel, based on her 'prophetic dreams', suggested a terrible disaster would occur on July 5, 2025, claiming the seas around southern Japan would 'boil' and although she was 25 days late - she wasn't that far off.
In a reprint of the manga book that was released in 2021, Tatsuki explained how she once saw a catastrophic turn of events erupt underwater while she was sleeping.
In a passage in The Future I Saw dedicated to discussing the devastation thst she believed was bound for Japan, Tatsuki wrote: 'The ocean floor between Japan and the Philippines will crack.
'Huge waves will rise in all directions. Tsunamis will devastate the Pacific Rim countries.
'A tsunami three times higher than that of the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011 will strike the southwest of the country.'
Millions were under tsunami advisories yesterday after one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Russia, sending tsunami waves into Japan, Hawaii and the US west coast.
Several people were injured but none gravely, and no major damage has been reported so far.
The worst appeared to have passed for many areas, including the US, where all tsunami warnings were lifted by noon EST.
But in countries along the Pacific - such as Ecuador, Chile and New Zealand - new warnings were forcing evacuations.
Wednesday's earthquake was the sixth most powerful on record, and the strongest in Kamchatka region since 1952, with aftershocks of up to 7.5 magnitude expected.
Tatsuki's claimed the 2025 tsunami would dwarf the one seen in Japan's devastating 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, which left 20,000 people dead or missing.
'A tsunami three times higher... will strike the southwest of the country,' she claimed.
Wednesday's earthquake was the largest globally since 2011, when a 9.1 megaquake hit northeast Japan.
A tsunami of two feet was recorded in Hamanaka town in Hokkaido and Kuji port i n Iwate, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. Several areas reported smaller waves, and at least one person was injured.
In Iwaki, a city in Fukushima Prefecture, which was the epicenter of the 2011 tsunami and quake, dozens of residents gathered at a hilltop park after a community siren sounded and breakwater gates were closed.
Workers at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, which was severely damaged in 2011, took shelter on higher ground while remotely monitoring operations, the operator said.
By late Wednesday, Japan had downgraded its tsunami alert but left an advisory in place along the Pacific coast.
Given that she's got a decent track record for predicting big events correctly, a lot of people took heed of Tatsuki's prior warning.
As a result, her 2025 prediction has led to a major drop in flight bookings to Japan according to reports, which say trips have largely been cancelled by tourists from East Asia due to fears over a possible natural disaster.
Bloomberg Intelligence reported that year-on-year, average bookings from Hong Kong are down 50 per cent.
This has increased to - 83 per cent - when it comes to bookings made between late June and early July.
The artist of the novel herself has warned that too much emphasis should not be placed on her predictions.
She has instead advised that people should pay attention to expert insights and analysis.
In addition, the public has been advised to dismiss Ryo Tatsuki's forecasts, with Japanese authorities asserting they lack scientific support and are completely baseless.
Yoshihiro Murai, the governor of Miyagi prefecture, said: 'It would be a significant issue if unfounded rumors on social media impacted tourism.
'There is no cause for concern since the Japanese are not leaving the country.'
He added: 'I urge everyone to disregard the rumors and come visit.'
It has been noted that separately from Tatsuki's predictions, Japanese authorities have expressed worries regarding the dangers posed by earthquakes.
In April, a government task force warned that as many as 298,000 could die in a massive earthquake off the Pacific coast of Japan.
The country's location on the Pacific's so-called 'Ring of Fire' means it is prone to earthquakes.
However, experts point out that the current scientific understanding means predicting the the time and location of earthquakes accurately is impossible.
While she was largely unknown at the time her first book was published, Tatsuki has since became a recognised force among psychics.
She claimed she began having premonitions in the early 1980s after a number of her vivid dreams came true.
Her book has recently gained renewed interest after a number of her premonitions made in hindsight appeared to mirror real life events.
Amongst her chilling predictions for the future, Tatsuki is said to have accurately foretold the sudden death of Freddie Mercury.
She claims to have seen images of the Queen frontman dying suddenly in a dream on November 24, 1976.
Exactly 15 years to the day later, the singer died aged 45 from complications of having AIDS.
She is also thought to have predicted the death of Princess Diana.
A year later, Tatsuki claimed she had a dream in which she saw a woman standing at the end of a corridor in a palace.
Stood at the end, she saw a portrait of a blonde woman holding a baby, with the picture named 'Diana'.
Five years to the day later, she claimed she had another dream about the Princess in which she saw her die in the car crash.
The prophet has previously said that her predictive dreams arrive in a period of time that can be divided by five.
Then in 1995, Tatsuki said that dreamed an old man led her to 'cracked earth', leading her to predict that the Japanese city of Kobe would be 'cracked' in either 15 days or 15 years.
And thus her prophecy came true as 15 days later, Kobe was struck by an insidious earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people. It is now considered the second deadliest earthquake of the 20th century.
She has often been compared to the Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga, who despite passing away nearly three decades ago in 1996, has issued countless predictions for the fate of the world, foretelling events all the way up till 5079.
She too became a cult figure after supposedly predicting major world events such as 9/11, the Covid-19 pandemic and even Princess Diana's death.
She also accurately said that Europe would be rocked by a devastating war.
More disturbingly, she added that Russia would survive the wars and end up dominating the world.

Six year old hurt after giant octopus 'climbed out of tank' and grabbed him

Six year old hurt after giant octopus 'climbed out of tank' and grabbed him A mother has shared a video which shows her six-year-old son's arm covered in suction bruises after an octopus grabbed hold of him A six year old boy was left with a mass of bruises after a giant octopus latched onto his arm and refused to release him. (Image: TikTok- Britney Taryn) A six-year-old boy was left with a mass of bruises after a giant octopus latched onto his arm and refused to release him. The boy's mum, Britney Taryn, recounted the harrowing experience in a TikTok video following their visit to the San Antonio Aquarium in Texas on Monday, July 14. ‌ Britney explained that her son Leo encountered the giant Pacific octopus at a touch tank, despite having visited the aquarium previously and even interacting with the same creature before. You can read more about world news here. ‌ The footage shows her son Leo's arm sporting a series of small, dark purple marks, resembling suction bruises, extending from his wrist up to his armpit. Stay informed on the latest health news by signing up to our newsletter here . ‌ The mother described the octopus as "halfway out the tank, and trying to eat my son". Britney shared how her son, usually calm around animals, alerted her to the situation with an unnerving level of composure: "My son is very level-headed when it comes to animals, so when he had his arm in there, and he starts saying, 'Mom, it's not letting me go - and way too calmly - I'm like, 'Oh, okay,' "So I'm helping him get down from the step and trying to pull him away from the octopus, and that octopus is not letting go." ‌ She went on to say: "The octopus starts coming out of the tank, and the reason we don't have pictures or videos of this is because my friend was also freaking out." In response to the event, a spokesperson for the aquarium assured PEOPLE magazine that the safety and welfare of visitors, staff, and marine life are always their highest concern. The aquarium has clarified that their octopus exhibit is not a touch tank but rather a "1,000+ gallon habitat intentionally designed with a tall barrier to provide safety for both guests and the animal". ‌ The spokesperson added: "Reaching the octopus requires a person to lean fully over the wall of the enclosure and reach approximately 24 inches down from the top edge. "In this instance, the guest leaned her child over the exhibit barrier, allowing him to reach into the habitat without staff supervision." The aquarium characterised the octopus's actions as "typical, curious behaviour by touching and holding the child's arm" and emphasised that there was no aggression or intent to harm the child. ‌ The statement read: "Our staff responded promptly to assist, ensuring the child was safely removed from the interaction." They also highlighted that their Giant Pacific Octopus is in good health, receives proper care, and does not exhibit harmful behaviour towards visitors or staff. The statement concluded with: "Octopuses are highly intelligent and curious creatures, and their interactions with humans are often playful and exploratory. However, as with any animal encounter, there are inherent risks, which is why we have strict protocols in place to ensure safety for all." ‌ Photos captured the octopus climbing out of the tank at the San Antonio Aquarium (Image: Google Maps ) Britney shared with PEOPLE her understanding that she does "not blame the octopus" and recognises its behaviour as "completely natural". She further stated: "Our goal is to advocate for better conditions for the animals and to ensure that they are housed in environments that are safe and appropriate." ‌ The mother also disputed the aquarium's assertion that she had lowered her son towards the exhibit, labelling it "false and defamatory" and accusing them of trying to shift focus from more pressing concerns. She asserted: "No medical attention was offered for my son, and I was not asked to sign an incident report. Several other adults were with me at the time and can attest to this." Britney mentioned that she subsequently contacted the aquarium via email to report the incident, motivated by concerns for animal welfare and public safety, but did not receive a reply. ‌ Britney remarked: "Typically, contact with the octopus in that exhibit would only be possible by lifting a child over the glass, something we have done in the past under direct staff instruction. This tank is never staffed, and the public is often left to interact with the animals unsupervised. The only signage provides instructions for a feeding encounter." Following the event, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has urged for the release of the giant Pacific octopus. In a statement on August 1, PETA said: "This slimy facility's exploitative encounters are a recipe for disaster, as injuries abound when timid animals such as octopuses are denied everything natural and important to them and subjected to a barrage of grabbing hands." Article continues below It urged the aquarium to cease forcing wild animals into human interactions and to release the octopus either back into its natural habitat or to an accredited sanctuary where it can live peacefully.

More info Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles is set to address the nation next week, marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. The King has pre-recorded an audio message that will be broadcast on 15 August, commemorating the anniversary of Japan's surrender to the Allies after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, effectively concluding the Second World War. This message will be aired prior to a remembrance service attended by the King and Queen, Second World War veterans, and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. The BBC will broadcast live the service, which aims to honour all those who served in the Asia-Pacific theatre, including Burma Star recipients, British Indian Army veterans, former prisoners of war, and those who fought in key battles such as Kohima and Imphal in India. The Royal British Legion, in partnership with the Government, will host the event, where the King and his wife, along with other senior figures, will lay floral tributes, reports the Manchester Evening News. A national two-minute silence will conclude with a Red Arrows aerial display, and the service will end with a flypast by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, before the King and Queen attend a reception with Second World War veterans. While Charles and Camilla are attending the event at the National Memorial Arboretum, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh will be present at a service at the Scottish National War Memorial at Edinburgh Castle, organised by the Royal British Legion Scotland. Simultaneously, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester will join the congregation at the Far East Prisoners of War VJ Day 80th Anniversary Service at Norwich Cathedral, before attending a second commemorative service dedicated to the Children and Families of the Far East Prisoners of War in Suffolk. Before VJ Day, Sophie is scheduled to meet Second World War veteran Jim Wren, who was serving on HMS Repulse when he was captured and held on the Indonesian island of Sumatra until the end of the war. The events marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day will wrap up with a reception for veterans at Windsor Castle later in the autumn.
