Beloved Bulgarian clairvoyant dies, evoking outpourinf of

SOFIA, Bulgaria (Aug 11, 1996 3:41 p.m. EDT) -- "Aunt Vanga," a blind peasant whose supposed clairvoyant powers gave her saint-like status across this impoverished
Balkan country, died Sunday at 84, provoking an outpouring of national grief.

Vangelia Gushterova meant so much to generations of Bulgarians that the state news agency BTA flashed the news of her death of cancer in a Sofia hospital once
reserved for high government officials.

"She lived not for herself but for the people. That made her a living saint for us," said Prime Minister Zhan Videnov.

Born in neighboring Macedonia in 1911, Vanga lost her sight at age 12 in a windstorm.

From the time she was a teen-ager, she was a legend for what many believed was her ability to see into the future and the past, to make correct diagnoses or predictions
and even locate missing persons.

She claimed to derive her powers from an ancient city buried under her village in southwestern Bulgaria.

BTA said more than 1 million people had consulted the seer, whose fame stretched across the Balkans.

Almost every day, thousands of sick and desperate people would line up outside Vanga's modest house in Rupite, a village 100 miles south of the capital, Sofia.

Many of Bulgaria's most respected intellectuals and notable politicians sought Vanga's advice, usually uttered in a trance. Almost all of her predictions related to people's
private lives.

Petar Stoyanov, the main anti-Communist presidential candidate, visited Vanga at the start of his campaign. He and his main rival in the October elections, Socialist
Georgi Pirinski, sent condolences to Vanga's relatives Sunday.

During the communist era, many senior politicians, including longtime ruler Todor Zhivkov, are said to have consulted Vanga before key decisions. Communism collapsed
in Bulgaria in 1989.

Vanga was told four years ago that she was terminally ill with breast cancer. She refused an operation and went on receiving people until last month, when relatives
moved her to hospital in Sofia.

Funeral plans were unknown, but Vanga has said she wanted to be buried in Rupite.
