My biggest experience with a screamer was with an Optical Illusions screamer, that I seem to have never been able to find again. I must have been around 10 at the time it happened. Basically, it was a set of optical illusions, and I, along with my parents, my younger brother and other family members, were going through it. It was fairly straightforward; see the illusion, click on "next" to proceed, and so on. "Okay, I'm catching all of these, this is cool", I remember thinking to myself just as I was commenting with my dad about them.
Eventually we get to the final illusion. From what I remember, it was two circles on a fully white background; the circles were on the left and right of the screen, at center height, spinning counter-clockwise. Of note is that I, along with my dad, were the ones with their faces almost glued to the screen; my little brother was watching from above my dad's shoulders, standing on the bed. The rest were a bit farther back into the room.
