Odd: see this monster that was washed off the coast of Philippines

Giant oarfish described as 'messengers of the sea' have been washing ashore in the Philippines in recent days, triggering fears an earthquake is about to hit.

A number of bizarre-looking creatures, which usually live at depths of 3,000ft, have been found dead along the country's coasts.
