1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,040
Okay, Chelsea, I have something that is kind of the opposite of what you usually get from

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:12,080
me, which is news that I think is just information being conveyed that turns out to be bad news.

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,920
This will start off maybe as bad news and then turn into something a little different.

4
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:21,480
So did you hear about this ritual mass suicide that happened in Britain?

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,480
I did not.

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:24,480
Okay.

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,880
Well, this story is from September 8th, 2023.

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:27,880
What?

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:28,880
Yes.

10
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:29,880
Two days ago.

11
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:30,880
Wait, no, it's not.

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:31,880
No, it's not.

13
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,280
I'm reading the calendar wrong.

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:41,400
So it turns out this reported ritual mass killing to the police was just a yoga class.

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,520
This article is police rushed to report of a ritual mass killing, but it was just a yoga

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:50,160
class September 8th, 2023 by Elise Wanchill on the Huffington Post.

17
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,200
So nobody died?

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:57,120
According to a Facebook post by Seascape Cafe at the Observatory, a cafe that is also

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,080
a community space art gallery and exercise studio.

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,400
Police rushed to the business shortly after a yoga class wrapped Wednesday at about 9.30

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:09,120
PM because a concerned passerby mistook the final resting position of the entire class

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,120
participating in it as a mass killing.

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,580
The final resting pose, also known as corpse pose or Savasna, typically occurs at the end

24
00:01:16,580 --> 00:01:20,260
of a yoga class and in which people lie on their backs with their eyes closed in order

25
00:01:20,260 --> 00:01:22,320
to sink into a meditative state.

26
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:27,660
The unidentified person reported a mass killing in our building and having seen several people

27
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:32,360
laying on the floor, the Seascape Cafe Facebook post reads, which actually turned out to be

28
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,920
a yoga class in meditation.

29
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,920
We are not part of any mad cult or crazy clubs, the post continues.

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,560
All in all, this situation turned out positive and we are of course grateful.

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,080
Turns out nobody dies.

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,560
And the caller logged this complaint at 8.56 PM with quote, good intentions.

33
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,120
Well, yeah, he had good intentions of, I don't know.

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,720
You're not even stopping anybody.

35
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,640
Maybe, yeah, maybe you're stopping them from killing more, I don't know.

36
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,520
Millie Laws, who taught the yoga class, went into more detail about the incident with the

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,240
Washington Post Friday.

38
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,680
Mills told the Post that seven students were lying on their back for about 30 minutes as

39
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,600
she banged on a shamanic drum in a dark room lit by just candles during Wednesday's hour

40
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,240
and a half restorative yoga class.

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,760
She told the newspaper that she was also wearing a flowy top and that could have resembled

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,800
a robe.

43
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,080
Mills said she noticed a couple outside the studio walking a dog and peering through the

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,600
window at what must have been a very bewildering scene for them.

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,080
Quote, they reported to the police that they had seen somebody walking around in a room

46
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,120
lit up with candles and what looked like dead people lying all over the floor.

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,120
The couple thought it was some sort of ritual mass killing.

48
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,120
End quote.

49
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,200
Mills added to the Post that the class had already ended by the time a horde of police

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,000
officers had showed up and that the young people experienced a quote, lovely relaxation

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,560
session with no interruptions, thankfully.

52
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,200
The cafe also thanked the police on Facebook for their quote prompt response, end quote,

53
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:53,200
and article as well.

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,200
Wouldn't you like to see if they're breathing?

55
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,200
I don't know.

56
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,200
Or would you just be like, oh fuck, this everyone's dead.

57
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,520
A similar mass killing, why do I come across them so often?

58
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,520
That's for sure what happened.

59
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,520
I mean they obviously didn't investigate it any further.

60
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:11,520
Yeah.

61
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:12,520
They just called the police.

62
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,920
Well, better safe than sorry I guess.

63
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:21,600
I felt that one fit the Halloween theme pretty well and is also just fairly light news that

64
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,600
you probably missed.

65
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,160
Yeah, we did miss that.

66
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:25,560
That was nice.

67
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,560
Yeah.

68
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,440
And I hope that little piece of fun news will keep you going until Friday.

69
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,520
In the meantime, just stick it out.

70
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,520
You got 48 hours.

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:34,520
We'll see you Friday.

72
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,520
Yeah, bye.

73
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Thank you!
