Fishermen from the Chilean city of Arica pulled a 4.8-meter oarfish out of the water. This fish is called a harbinger of disasters: earthquakes and tsunamis. It is also believed that whoever catches it will be cursed. Herring kings can reach a length of 11 meters. They live at a depth of about a kilometer and appear on the surface due to storms and currents or weakness and disease.
