Three oarfish have washed up on Southern California beaches in the last three months .
Scientists don't know why the fish have died and washed ashore.
Oarfish 's silver skin and bright red scarlet fins give it a mythical look.
It's rare to see an oar fish up close in California ; only 22 have washed ashore since 1901 .
Oarfish have been dubbed "doomsday" fish because some cultures consider it a bad sign when they appear.
The moniker is derived from a manipulation of Japanese folklore that became popular following the Fukushima disaster.
People latched onto these strandings as an omen of the disaster.
