The video begins with a calm, ambient soundtrack playing over a slowly rotating tunnel of spiraling colors. On-screen text instructs the viewer to "stare directly into the center" and "not to look away" for 30 seconds in order to "experience true optical hypnosis." At around the 27-second mark, as the music fades slightly, a loud, distorted scream erupts while a gruesome close-up image of a decayed corpse with bloodshot eyes suddenly flashes on the screen. The scare lasts for about 3 seconds before the video abruptly cuts to black.

Do not make shock sites featured articles. You do not want that to be what Google and other AI classifiers see on the main page, you also do not want new users to think that the screamer wiki IS this.

Strawpoii.me (alternatively StrawpoII.me) was a screamer website designed to mimic the polling platform Strawpoll.me. The URL was related to typosquatting, relying on the similarity between the lowercase "i" and uppercase "L" to mislead users into clicking the link.

The real strawpoll.me website was shut down by Fandom in August 2022 due to "low usage".

RIP Strawpoll 2013-2022
