The Pokemon Go craze goes from strength to strength, with towns and cities now resembling a nerdier version of Day of the Dead as players shuffle around trying to catch monsters.

The game has been praised by many as a way to get traditionally sedentary gamers out and about doing exercise, and interacting with the real world.

The mobile game uses a mixture of graphics and your camera to let you capture Pokemon in real world locations.

But some players have taken this interaction to the extreme, and made this list.

Stories of Pokemon Go players taking liberties with traffic laws are rife. A man in Dublin jumped into traffic while searching for a monster, and another crashed his car into a police vehicle while playing at the wheel.

PSNI Ards wrote on Facebook: "Already this morning we had a reports of a male jumping out in front of traffic on the A2, Holywood. Can you guess why?"

Two players obviously thought they would up the ante, and managed to walk off a 50ft cliff.

One man fell about 50ft down the cliff and the other fell between 80 - 90ft down onto the beach in San Diego.

Obviously the game is so engrossing that you don't even realise you have stopped walking on actual ground.

The discoveries you can make in the game are one of the reasons players keep coming back, but one girl made a discovery that wasn't intended by Nintendo developers.

Shayla Wiggins from Wyoming, was using the augmented reality app, when she climbed over a fence and found a dead body floating.

"I was walking towards the bridge along the shore when I saw something in the water," Ms Wiggins said. "I had to take a second look and I realised it was a body."

Four teenagers in Wiltshire were so obsessed the game they went to extreme depths to catch them.

The boys, thought to be aged around 14 or 15, were rescued from the bottom of a 100ft mine shaft after getting lost in the vast network of tunnels.

Station manager Damien Bence said: "They were a bit reluctant to say why they were down there - one of them did mention they were looking for Pokémon characters.

"I asked him 'did you find any?' and he said 'no'."

Pokemon are popping up all over the place, and stories of weirdly located monsters have flooded the internet.

Intrepid players looking for a rare Pokemon called a Sandshrew were drawn to a police station in Darwin, Australia.

But police chiefs at the station were less than impressed by attempts to find the beast inside the station, and wrote on Facebook: "For those budding Pokemon Trainers out there using Pokemon Go - whilst the Darwin Police Station may feature as a Pokestop, please be advised that you don't actually have to step inside in order to gain the pokeballs."
