Japanese artist Ryo Tatsuki has become known as a supposed “Japanese Baba Vanga,” with followers claiming that her dreams foresaw the deaths of famous people, devastating natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Among the most widely repeated stories concern Freddie Mercury and Princess Diana. According to claims that have circulated for years, Tatsuki dreamed in 1976 about the Queen singer’s death and wrote down the date November 24. Mercury died on November 24, 1991, exactly 15 years later.
Another account says Tatsuki dreamed on August 31, 1992, of a blonde woman standing in a long palace corridor, with the word “Diana” on her face. Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997, five years after the alleged dream.
Tatsuki reportedly began having unusually vivid dreams in 1976. She said a gray-haired old man connected to future events appeared in them, prompting her to keep a diary and sketch the scenes she remembered. In 1999, she published the manga “The Future I Saw,” based on those notes and drawings. Readers later returned to the book and linked some passages to events that had occurred.
Her followers also associate her writings with the 1995 Kobe earthquake, the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and a claim that an unknown virus would appear in 2020 and return after a period of time. There is no scientific evidence for the prophecies, but the stories about Tatsuki’s unusual dreams continue to intrigue the public.
