This is such a nostalgia trip. I grew up in Hamburg long ago. This was such a refreshing trip. Thank you for making me remember my cherished childhood.
the steady camera, distinct footsteps, and relative inactivity of the town all adds up to this video feeling very much like I'm watching someone play a walking simulator video game - which I enjoy!
The title sent me on an emotional rollercoaster! Just read Hamburg (im german) and got excited, then surprised at the Pennsylvania. But then again excited to see its a night walk. Gonna love this!
57:13, wow you really discovered something nice there! I'm sure the home owner would have been tickled pink if she knew her creation was making it on youtube! That really was nice!

I have lived in both Hamburgs. The one in PA has a Cabela’s and nearby is Hawk Mountain. One in Germany has St Pauli fc, an opera-house that marries the words over and budget, Chinese owned shipping port, miniture museum, and those jokes aside is an awesome city.
I have loved the latest videos of various walks and drives. They are so soothing and have helped me find calm lately. Thanks so much-been following you since I heard you on Preston and Steve circa 2013 🤘🏼
Hawk Mountain was one of my favorite hiking locations back when I lived in Pennsylvania. I'm originally from Bloomsburg PA but spent most of my childhood living in Wilkes Barre.
Uncle E, I’m glad to see you making the content you want to produce. I know these videos typically get less views but I’m glad you’re enjoying being a creative
I reside on the moon currently alongside my friend Steve Rogers. He just rocks back and forth in his chair on his porch and I like to just stare into space
I love night walks. Did them with family and friends during the summer during my growing up years. Walking at night has a totally different vibe...very peaceful and calm.
I haven’t watched one of your videos in a little so I figured I’d see what’s up, never did I except to see an asmr video of my town. Loved the video btw
So crazy to see that Rift walked the same streets I have so many times. It's like Santa came to town, I'm elated to see my local hometown area in an ER video! Edit: genuinely tweaking that Rift was within walking distance at the time of filming, I cannot believe such an icon was so nearby. It's dreamlike seeing all of these places I've been to in a youtube video, let alone on Uncle E's channel.
Well I've always been creating content that I enjoy ever since I started this channel, talks, roleplays, indoors, outdoors, etc. Have a good one yourself.
I listen to your asmr all the time uncle e! I think you’re a really smart guy and I really look up to you :) your videos on anarchism and such are particularly thought provoking and a great listen! Keep up the great content!
Oh I miss this, thanks! I used walk all over the place at night where I grew up in the country, but now I live in a big metro area in a dumpy part of town and won't leave after dark!
Turned out alright, I thought maybe it would be too loud for a asmr video but it's great. Thank you for making this, now there's only the train video left. Stay safe 🖤🔦
Honestly if you are still in the area as of posting this you should really hit up Hawk Mountain, its beautiful and there is alot of good history to go into- like all the forest there has been regrown/was logged, the river of rocks, the History of the Hawks, and also the Civil Air Patrol school. Also while we are on rocks you should hit Ringing Rocks at some point. You could do it with a mix of Nockamixon which is close by and is a man made lake made by flooding a town(there are a few towns that happened to back in the day) and its near a set of Masonic Pyramids. Also in Palmerton there is a beautiful house that can be seen from 248 its considered haunted because nothing grows outside it(the ground is all red) its called the Marshall Mansion. I also dont know how you would manage it- but walking through a deserted Knoebels would be pretty cool as well. Mount Moriah cemetery is a really beautiful. And if you look into it there are tons of abandoned mining towns like over 100 in PA that you can still find ruins of and some of them have really wild stories. There is also stuff like the story of the Green Man you could dive into- though that story is more sad then haunting. Edit to add its also painful- its not the Skul-keel, its the Sure-keel to those of us who know the river and the road😂😂😂.
@@EphemeralRift many wonderful places but many more are now sadly gone like the Graffiti Highway in Centralia(I don't know if its still standing but they use to have a beautifuly designed church). Or alot of the old hospitals- The Allentown State Hospital one had been in really good condition still before they tore it down the state police sere working out of it- enough to also film a pretty major movie just before they did demo. The places may have had a dark history but that building and campus were stunning. Even iconic places like Bethlehem Steel are basically being left to rot and they really don't seem to be preserving it I always find it a shame when such architecture is torn down. At least for now I know a few places like the Marshall Mansion that are being well kept- due to the the stories behind them. I think they are still renting it out for parties occasionally but to my knowledge its still owned by the bank and not a person as many people have claimed hauntings. Sad because its really a beautiful house/property to leave vacant. Definitely a place to put a fence up if you live there- one stumble off that cliff and you done 🤣🤣🤣.
@@samuelculper4231 Pennsylvania has alot of great Forest trails for sure, But Hawk Mountain is definitely in the top ones for me. Part of what makes it so good is how tight a rein they keep on the area.
That is so cool that you can take the schuylkill river trail to philadelphia. I'm from Philly and no idea. There is so much I don't know. Love these videos!
The west coast gets the nature, but we have the architecture. But there are many beautiful west coast buildings just as there is tons of beauty on the west coast.
Im not from PA but I would always travel to Stroudsburg right by the Delaware water gap that place has some really nice trails and lakes its really relaxing
I have never been to the US but seeing these empty streets with nobody around and even few lights turned on in the houses, I get a very post-apocalyptic vibe and I love it!
you get those vibes especially in small towns in the midwest! lots of former houses that are now just piles of rubble sitting in the middle of otherwise populated neighborhoods, businesses that are always open but never attended, overgrown yards full of junk that's eternally for sale. that might sound a bit depressing, and it's certainly a view of how rural poor people are forgotten by the rest of America..... and yet, there's still a charm to it. post-apocalyptic comfort :)
Hello A cool ASMR idea that I had earlier was back rooms trading market. So like you're going to have flashlights to like a strange objects, almond water and supplies. I think it would be a good asmr
Your videos are calm, I like that, especially about these liminal spaces. I'm happy to know that toxic people are no longer here, I hope you heal something that bothers you, good luck.
I appreciate the sentiment, but I don’t think I’m trying to heal anything?.. All I know is I don’t want to be indoors making content. I like the challenge and unknown of going outdoors, trying to make it relaxing, exploring, never know what’s going to happen, all that. Take care.
I gotta say i was a Bit anxious about you being mugged or Something, i watch your Videos mostly only for the audio, since i use them for sleep, but this one had me on the Edge cuz of the uncanny scenenary ^^ Edit: You know what would make nice Sounds? A tennisball you bounce from time to time while Walking, that dull Sound would be nice i believe
i dont think er has done anything outside of his house. i honestly didn't think er existed outside of his home or the forests around his house. he's escaped containment.
Holy shit. Dude that’s my home town, granted i moved about 2 years ago but i probably would have died on the spot if i saw ER walking toward me on the street by the strand. So random.. why on earth are you in schuylkill county if all places

Grew up in bernville. So this is a cool video for me too
You picking random ass Hamburg in the middle of nowhere Berks County makes this video so great.
Yes I love that
This is relaxing to watch, but I'd be absolutely spooked walking alone lmao. Stay safe out there, Rift.
It's been fascinating getting to see the parts of my state I haven't had the pleasure of visiting yet. Thank you very kindly for this series.
Same! lol
Dude. This is so surreal. I grew up in hamburg. To see my fav asmr-ist do a video there. So cool man!
As a German, I approve of thi- oh nevermind, wrong Hamburg. Alright lads, pack up! No Preußens Gloria tonight.
there's also a Hanover in Canada😂
i mean >.> wanna raid King of Prussia w me???
Kein Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland? 😭

But then again excited to see its a night walk.
Gonna love this!
15:30 Damn.... That Spoiler is gigantic...😮
A crime occurs every 2 days 22 hours (on average) in Hamburg. Picked a good night to stroll alone.
It's a beautiful town.
crime occurs everywhere lol
I live here and i skate at night every night
Better than NYC. Honestly sounds peaceful compared to where I sleep lol
In Scotland it happens every 10 minutes probably 😂😂
Only 10 mins in and it's already a supercool walk!!🤓 Thank you Rift! ❤❤❤ Perfect for bedtime here in Italy! 🇮🇹
The man who never runs out of ideas.
But he sure walks them out

I love the Pennsylvania ASMR vlogging. It reminds me of my childhood going to summer camp in Bucks County
Hawk Mountain was one of my favorite hiking locations back when I lived in Pennsylvania. I'm originally from Bloomsburg PA but spent most of my childhood living in Wilkes Barre.
im from here! awesome to see you explore this town that i’ve known for all my life :)
I’ve been watching this video every night to sleep ever since it came out and it’s so relaxing need more of these😴😌
i liked this it was a nice change of pace from the usual. thanks!

Thank you for making this video, I enjoyed this a lot
Live right next to Hamburg my whole life. Cool to see a town like that at night
Plzzz make night walks a normal thing. I like the ambience along with your narration
I listen to your asmr all the time uncle e! I think you’re a really smart guy and I really look up to you :) your videos on anarchism and such are particularly thought provoking and a great listen! Keep up the great content!
Pennsylvania, home of the Pencils, Penny's & of course the birth place of JCPenny's
Oh I miss this, thanks! I used walk all over the place at night where I grew up in the country, but now I live in a big metro area in a dumpy part of town and won't leave after dark!
He should have walked the streets with the plague doctor getup during the lockdown. That would've been a riot!😅
I'm having a *great* now since I clicked on this video. I was having a good now before but the "now" has since improved XD
Seeing you walk down this street makes me feel like I'm visiting my Pop Pop. So many memories walking down this street and getting pizza at Russo's.
damn that thumbnail text on the old movie theather thing is genius and masterpiece!🔥
Crazy to see how safe and peaceful it is outside
It’s rare to see that where I’m from
This is euphorically relaxing. Thanks, Uncle Rift.
I planned to just check this video to see if it would be good enough to help me sleep tonight and watched the whole thing, woops.
I live in Ontario Canada, but Pennsylvania has long been my fav state whether it's nature or community and my fav people!
Btw this video reinforces that!
Turned out alright, I thought maybe it would be too loud for a asmr video but it's great. Thank you for making this, now there's only the train video left. Stay safe 🖤🔦
This was a very pleasant video, I enjoyed the nice fade out at the end too, very relaxing.
Omg I’m so glad you’re still uploading !!!
I don’t plan on stopping til I officially retire on about 10 years lol

To answer your question, that was the park. The trailers and stuff were people setting up for the local annual carnival in that field.
ah, makes sense! that's what I kinda figured but couldn't get it out of my mouth lol
I also like going out at night but with a scooter, empty streets and night lights are the best.
That is so cool that you can take the schuylkill river trail to philadelphia. I'm from Philly and no idea. There is so much I don't know. Love these videos!
"There is so much I don't know" Same! lol
the fountain at 57:00 sounded great in the binaural headphones
I'm gonna have to steal "Good now" and take it as my very own. :)
Treat it well if you do please.
Greetings from Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy 😉
Ciao da Trento! 👋😄
The fact i used to live right down in leesport but am back in reading is really suprising that you chose hamburger of all places 😭😭😭
Just saw Hamburg and thought I might meet you for a sec. Anyway, greetings from Germany
Oh my gosh! I live like 15 minutes from Hamburg!
17:23 "There's a church right here."
Immediately, it glows a wicked red. 👹
lol
This place looks so different from the west coast :0 the architecture is so cool to look at.
The west coast gets the nature, but we have the architecture.
But there are many beautiful west coast buildings just as there is tons of beauty on the west coast.
This looked like a videogame. GTA Rift edition
It is crazy seeing you walk past my apartment building lol
Im not from PA but I would always travel to Stroudsburg right by the Delaware water gap that place has some really nice trails and lakes its really relaxing
I feel like this is a test run for the inevitable “ASMR Night Walk in Innsmouth” video.
A walkabout with Rift? Woo!

Bro just said ‘I love alleyways 😊’ I could never
Seriously. Every time I pass an alley, day or night, small town or big city, I just... want to walk down them. I don't know what it is lol
Cheers from Coplay!
Just re-watching it because last night I only got as far as the little fire station (thank you from a chronic insomniac) zzzz 😴
18:02 I literally just started working at one of those exact hotels Uncle E, what are the odds?
Well done man 💖
I feel like it’s only a matter of time until I run into Uncle E in SE PA. He’s always in places I either just was or will be shortly!
