A 15-foot oarfish - thought to be a harbinger of impending earthquakes - washed ashore in Chile. “You don’t have to believe me, but in Chile that fish is a sign of a bad omen,” offered another viewer with their own take on its potential effect. “Earthquake is coming,” said one tweeter, while another exclaimed, “We are all going to die!” Viewers of the video on social media expressed shock at seeing the reportedly prognosticating creature. In fact, many people believe that oarfish strandings are signs that an earthquake is around the corner. This sighting was particularly rare given that the species generally reside at depths between 656 and 3,200 feet below the ocean’s surface. Footage captured the tremor-predicting denizen of the deep, which has silver scales, a fiery orange head tassel and a dorsal fin traversing its body from head to tail. The massive oarfish - which is the world’s largest bony fish, capable of growing to 56 feet long - washed up on the coast of Isla Talcán in Chile’s Desertores Islands. A video of the alleged oceanic bad omen is currently making waves online as viewers worry about a possible seismic event, Jam Press reported. Locals were flabbergasted after a 15-foot oarfish - which is rumored to be a sign of impending earthquakes - drifted ashore on a beach in Chile.
