The interest in oarfish surged after the dramatic discoveries of two dead specimens along the San Diego coastline, stirring both scientific curiosity and folklore narratives about doom.

The oarfish, a seldom-seen deep-sea creature, was discovered alive on a Baja California beach, sparking intrigue due to its folklore association with disasters.

The oarfish, often surfacing only when dead, has been linked to ominous predictions in Japanese folklore, specifically foretelling significant earthquakes and disasters.
