Crazy Pokemon Go Making Lose Minds

NEW YORK - Recently, players swarming parks and neighborhoods to hunt for little creatures that pop up on their phones and 'crazy' might just apply.

This week, a New Jersey woman got stuck in a cemetery tree while hunting the pocket monsters, until she was rescued by the town's first responders.

"For all those out there playing Pokemon Go, take heed of all of the warnings and be careful not to put yourself into bad situations," the East Greenwich Township Fire and Rescue wrote on Facebook.

"Think about what you are doing and where you are going before you actually do it." East Greenwich Township Fire and Rescue added.

The young adult woman — whose name was not released, according to NBC News — is just the latest Pokemon-related mishap. Distracted by the augmented reality game, people are falling off cliffs, walking into traffic, trespassing, crashing cars into trees, leaving home in the middle of the night and otherwise putting themselves in danger.

"I've almost been hit by a bus, a truck and a Prius for trying to catch a Spearow," a teenager told The New York Times.

Then, there's the alarming lack of respect some players are showing. The US. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, the 9/11 Memorial in New York, Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia and the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Poland are all pleading with people not to play at those somber sites
