VIDEO: Super Creepy Real Pokemon Go Encounters

There are some games that seem to send the world on a frenzy and everyone gets obsessed with it and it’s all they ever talk about and all they want to do. Such a game is Pokemon Go, a game that we’ve been waiting for ever since the famous animated series appeared many years ago.

So, of course, when it was launched everyone wanted to see what it was like. And just like it happens with anything that’s enjoyed by a lot of people, soon some rather weird and creepy things started happening.

According to bustle.com, if you haven’t yet been sucked into the swirling social vortex that is “Pokemon Go,” you’ve undoubtedly seen people who have. There’s probably someone snooping around your stoop right now in search of Scyther.

But if you’re thinking of diving into this trend, be forewarned — there are already some seriously creepy things that have happened playing “Pokemon Go,” and this viral augmented reality game really only just exploded onto the scene.

Having said that, here’s a disclaimer worth noting: These spooky, freaky, and weird instances are still pretty rare in the grand scheme of things; in comparison with the quite literally millions of people playing “Pokemon Go” every day (Recode estimates roughly 9.5 million, in fact), the percentage of players who have experienced anything like this is tiny.

So don’t let these cautionary tales of “Pokemon Go” put you off the game entirely. If anything, they simply serve as a reminder to look up from your phone screen once in a while, pay attention to your surroundings, and remember that just because you’re in hot pursuit of a Caterpie or Weedle doesn’t mean that the rest of the world outside of the app ceases to exist.

Here are some examples of things gone wrong:

A 19-year-old girl in Wyoming got way more than she bargained for when she was searching for wild Pokemon and found a dead body instead.

“I probably would never have went down there if it weren’t for this game,” Shayla Wiggins told CNN. “But in a way, I’m thankful. I feel like I helped find his body. He could have been there for days.”

File this one under “could have gone a lot worse” — two men in Encinitas, California suffered moderate injures when they fell off a cliff while playing “Pokemon Go.”

The men, who had disregarded warning signs posted in the area, admitted to taking the tumble due to the augmented reality game. One fell about 50 feet and his friend fell 80 to 90 feet, requiring assistance from the local fire department for rescue. They’re both being treated at the Scripps La Jolla Trauma Center.

Want to test your commitment to “Pokemon Go” mastery? Take a walk in a cemetery. You might find a ton of Pokestops to visit … at graves.

According to redditor Log_Out_Of_Life, they drove by a cemetery earlier this week while playing “Pokemon Go” (hopefully not while they were at the wheel) and the hallowed ground lit up like a starry night with glowing blue Pokestop cubes hovering over all of the graves.

To add to the creepy factor, other Reddit users have chimed in that cemeteries near them actually have “Pokemon Go” gyms.
