 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: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-66742339 
 @0c1a9324 Back when Hale-Bopp was around the local police log of my sheltered hometown had the following entry:

"Comet-watchers mistaken for buddha worshippers."

Of course, why someone was calling the police about Buddha-worshippers is anyone's guess.
