Japan's version of 'Baba Vanga' is an artist who makes manga out of her dreams, and she's predicted that catastrophe is just months away.
Ryo Tatsuki claims to have seen visions of the ocean 'boiling' to the south of Japan, which she reckons will lead to a mega-tsunami in July 2025.
According to her dreams, an underwater volcanic eruption will set off the tsunami, and Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Northern Mariana Islands will be in the impact zone.

The supposed future predictor has put her predictions into her work, and she released a manga book called The Future I Saw, in which some of her claims are contained, it gained popularity in 2011 after one of the predictions she made in the 1999 book supposedly ended up coming true.
Over the years, she's supposedly made a number of startlingly accurate predictions, sometimes getting the actual date of the disaster she has foretold correct.

Freddie Mercury's death
Her supposed first future-predicting dream came on 24 November, 1976, when she had a dream that Queen frontman Freddie Mercury would die suddenly.

At the time she didn't put much stock into her dream, but exactly 15 years later in 1991 he did die, and so her reputation as Japan's 'Baba Vanga' began.

Princess Diana's death
In 1992, Tatsuki claimed she'd had a dream where she was in the corridor of a palace, and at the end of a corridor, there was a portrait of a blonde woman holding a baby, with the picture named 'Diana'.

HERE ARE BABA VANGA'S EERIE PREDICTIONS FOR 2025
HOW BABA VANGA AND NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTED THE WORLD
The fortune teller claims that five years to the day she had that dream, Princess Diana died in that infamous car crash in Paris.
Apparently when she has a predictive dream, the result will come in an amount of time that can neatly be divided by five.

Kobe Earthquake
While her previous predictions were measured in years, her next one was just about 15 days away.

In 1995, she said she'd dreamed that an old man took her to 'cracked earth', and after she woke up, Tatsuki wrote that the Japanese city of Kobe would be 'cracked' in either 15 days or 15 years.
15 days later, the devastating Kobe Earthquake struck Japan, resulting in over 5,000 deaths and being Japan's second deadliest earthquake of the 20th century.

Japan's Tsunami
Publishing her manga The Future I Saw in 1999, she predicted that 'the great disaster will occur in March 2011'.

On 11 March, 2011, an undersea earthquake triggered a tsunami which ultimately resulted in 19,759 deaths, and given her prediction, it resulted in a surge of interest in her manga.

The pandemic
Also on the list of things she's claimed to have correctly predicted is that terrible of things, the coronavirus pandemic.
Tatsuki is supposed to have written: "In 25 years, an unknown virus will come in 2020, will disappear after peaking in April, and appear again 10 years later."
So that means that the coronavirus is going to come back again in a few years - if she's right.
But that would mean you put a lot of stock into claims of prophetic dreams, if July comes and goes without the predicted massive tsunami, then she'll have got a big call wrong.
We'll just have to wait and see.
