The video was first uploaded to YouTube by Adam "LotusMan17" Bounds on August 15th, 2007. The video lures the viewer into unlocking Luigi by providing a few steps, which would then lead to a screamer. The video was then deleted from the channel in late-2012. This is the first ever lost screamer that anyone from the internet still searches for. Regardless, this is the screamer that anyone wishes to be found and needs to be documented for historical purposes. | ||

The video, of course, has to do with unlocking Luigi, and it begins with a handful of steps on how to do so; all of this was impressively made with Windows Movie Maker 2. At first, the steps are shown on the black screen, before Lotus begins doing what the steps say at the beginning. One of the instructions includes running around the courtyard statue<ref note="note">The courtyard statue is referred by the screamer as the "big star" and the "big star secret" would mean to the urban legend known as L is real 2406.</ref> for a certain amount of time. After the part where Lotus tells the player to kick the boo, they are then told to press "A" on the wall<ref>https://www.neoseeker.com/forums/1191/t1145970-rumors/4.htm</ref> as being the final step. As the player is about to do so, a [[K-fee]] zombie would then appear on the screen, suddenly interrupting the video. However, it is rumored that if one can see far enough, Lotus can be seen going against the wall before the actual screamer, but this rumor has not yet been confirmed. The video shortly ended with the credits appearing from the top. The video used to have three different music, including as for the game-play and the credits, but it was muted due to copyright issues. Oh, need more information behind the video? Say less. | The video, of course, has to do with unlocking Luigi, and it begins with a handful of steps on how to do so; all of this was impressively made with Windows Movie Maker 2.

Lotus has confirmed that the screamer took place inside the castle, mostly in the courtyard, rather than the ones claiming to have took place in the Bob-Omb Battlefield. Lotus mentioned that Mario has entered to an "alternate dimension", where textures (from which he drawn in MS Paint) are glitching out, possibly due to low memory issues with the emulator. On September 16, 2020, Lotus made two screenshots as a remake such as for the thumbnail (depiction of Mario standing in front of the courtyard statue) and some part featuring Mario next to the castle. | Lotus has confirmed that the screamer took place inside the castle, mostly in the courtyard, rather than the ones claiming to have took place in the Bob-Omb Battlefield.

Later in 2020, a larger scale search was started on the Lost Media Wiki to try and find the video. The people at Lost Media wiki were able to find the thumbnail of the video as well as successfully contact and recruit LotusMan7, whom unfortunately no longer has the video. YouTuber Mahvl uploaded two documentary from August 2020 to March 2021 about his concerns on the lost screamer. | |||
