She was born on October 3, 1911. [1] in Strumica in the family of VMORO activist Pando Surchev. Her mother died while she was a minor, and her father was drafted into the Bulgarian army during the First World War. During this period he lived under the supervision of his neighbors. As a child, Vanga was an ordinary girl and showed no peculiarities. She loved to play on treatment and prescribed various "healing" herbs to her friends. The father remarries and the daughter helps with the housework.
In 1923, her father Pando Surchev and his family went to live in his native Novo Selo for a while, as he fell into extreme poverty in Strumica. There, at the age of 12, Vanga lost her sight due to a sudden storm, in which she was caught by a strong wind and later, after a long search, she was found covered with stones and soil in one level. Since 1925 he has lived in a home for the blind in the town of Zemun, where he spent three years. After the death of her stepmother, Vanga returns home to care for her younger siblings.

Among the most popular allegations attributed to Vanga were the death of Tsar Boris III, the break-up of Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union, the return of Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, but not as king, the sinking of the Kursk submarine, and the 9/11 attacks. 3] These predictions suddenly come to light only after the events have taken place, but there is no evidence that they existed before. In most cases, the vague wording of the "predictions" allows Vanga's supporters to make double interpretations, adapting what was said to what really happened.
