Our love for Pokémon started way back when we binge-watched the cartoon show and has now become a crazy obsession. The game, which was launched in early July, has already crossed more than a million downloads and the number keeps increasing every day. Be it at work, on a date, at home, on the road or even while driving, people are playing this game anywhere and everywhere. Obviously, like every other obsession, this one too has resulted in some really weird experiences.

Here are 9 stories that prove that Pokémon Go is making people go crazy all over the world:

1. Man gets caught cheating by his girlfriend, all thanks to Pokémon Go

2. Girl finds a dead body while playing Pokémon Go

Creepy, right? But that’s true. Shayla Wiggins, a 19-year-old girl, was walking and playing Pokémon Go in Wyoming when she stumbled upon a dead body while catching a Pokémon in a river. “I was trying to get a Pokemon from a natural water resource,” she said. “I was walking towards the bridge along the shore when I saw something in the water … I had to take a second look and I realized it was a body.” 

3. Professional Pokemon Trainer jobs sprout up all over the world
