Japan's own 'Baba Vanga' has issued a scary warning about a catastrophic event that could happen in July this year.
Baba Vanga, who was a Bulgarian woman named Vangeliya Pandeva Gushterova, was known for allegedly predicting a thing or two correct in her lifetime.
It’s widely reported that Vanga supposedly predicted the death of Princess Diana in 1997 and the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, among other things.
And as you'd expect, it's usually never anything good.

Vanga died in 1996, however, it now appears that Japan is home to an individual with similar eerie predictions.
Fortune teller and former manga artist, Ryo Tatsuki has said her predictions come to her in vivid dreams, which she claims she's been experiencing since the 1980s.
The 70-year-old published a manga called The Future I Saw back in 1999, a book based on some of her wildest dreams.
And while the novel may be 26-years-old, it has gained a new set of followers in recent months and years as readers compare what she predicted to real-world events.
Now, Tatsuki has now issued a concerning warning for an event that could occur later on this year in July. She is predicting the ocean is 'boiling' south of Japan, which could spell disaster for the country.
Many are interpreting the dream as an undersea volcanic eruption which would be powerful enough to trigger a so-called 'mega tsunami'.
As you'd probably expect with such a name, Tatsuki is predicting the tsunami will have a gigantic impact zone, enough to cause devastation over Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
She has also referenced seeing 'dragon-like shapes' moving toward the area, though experts are urging caution over such claims as they say there is 'no scientific basis for Tatsuki's claims', according to Times Now News.
Tatsuki retired in 2020 after saying it would be her 'own funeral' in 1995, however, she wasn't referring to a literal funeral but rather the end of her career as a 'mangaka' or manga artist, Medium says.
As for her previous 'predictions', she is believed to have correctly predicted Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991, as well as a deadly Kobe earthquake in 1995.
It's also claimed she correctly predicted the Covid-19 pandemic, which I think none of us could have correctly predicted.
Tatuski wrote: "In 25 years, an unknown virus will come in 2020, will disappear after peaking in April, and appear again 10 years later."
For Japan's sake, however, we'll all be hoping this prediction does not come to fruition.
