Yoga class mistaken for ‘ritual mass murder’

As reported by the BBC:

A yoga class was mistaken for a "ritual mass murder" scene after members of the public saw several people lying on the floor and reported it to police.

Five police cars descended on the North Sea Observatory in Chapel St Leonards, Lincolnshire, on Wednesday night.


A post on Facebook by the Seascape Cafe at the North Sea Observatory offers this explanation and comment:

Good Morning

So last night….

If any one heard the mass of police sirens in Chapel St Leonard’s at 9:30pm last night then please be reassured….

They were on their way to the Observatory after someone had reported a mass killing in our building. Having seen several people laying on the floor….

Which actually turned out to be the Yoga Class in meditation ‍‍♂️

Thank you to Lincolnshire Police for their prompt response. I can’t imagine for one moment what would have being going through their minds on the way….

Dear General Public, please be mindful that the Observatory has lots of Yoga classes happening in the evenings. We are not part of any mad cult or crazy clubs.

All in all this situation turned out positive and we are of course grateful ❤️

Have a great day you guys, it’s going to be a belter!
