Pokémon Go players take craze step too far after chasing figure down spooky ghost tunnel

By now we all know about Pokémon go. And honestly, I can understand why people are getting sick of hearing about it. Everywhere we look there seems to be one article or another trying to scare people. I don't know whether this is because there are legitimate concerns about the safety that playing Pokémon go can breach, or if it's because the media loves to jump on the hype train like everyone else, and unfortunately, nobody wants to hear good news these days.

Either way, this fear mongering can get a little comedic sometimes, and I thought I would bring to attention one such article that made me laugh out loud posted by

Pokémon Go players take craze step too far after chasing figure down spooky ghost tunnel

The premise of this story is that a couple of Pokémon go players from Japan went down a 'spooky ghost tunnel'.

One of the men was able to catch a Pokémon and broke his phone in excitement. Such is the horror and danger of this app.

These players surely took the craze step too far.

What do you steemians think about this? If you have any more articles I would love to read them!
