The A.S.M.R. Test at Miskatonic University ( A "Rift World" Origin Story )

- During your stay in the old town of Arkham, Massachusetts, you find an advertisement in the local Arkham Advertiser newspaper regarding a test being performed (with a modest payment for volunteering, of course) at nearby historic Miskatonic University.
The test is being held by a young man who goes by the name of William Clemmons, a graduate student mastering in Psychology with an interest in other fields such as geology and the occult. Seeing as you are new to the town of Arkham, Mr. Clemmons shares some brief information regarding a few notable points of interest, such as a recent meteor crash, an old witch house, the beautiful Miskatonic river and the far northern fishing town of Innsmouth.
Mr. Clemmons also expresses his frustrations and empathy for the patients of Arkham Sanitarium where the nature of this test was discovered: a pleasant tingling sensation reportedly felt by many of the patients when receiving care from the sanitarium's medical staff. He then explains how that facility is in a current state of decay and neglect, perhaps at the oversight of the current director. Mr. Clemmons states how he wishes he had the financial means to operate the facility himself in order to revitalize it and bring it into the modern day era, so that it could provide far better care for its patients.
The test itself was arranged by Mr. Clemmons, who was also charged with the task as part of his graduate courses, and consists of a very simple health questionnaire, a basic health checkup, and is then followed by various stimuli such as calm hand movements, page turning, and the crinkling sound of plastic, in order to determine if the general population, such as yourself, experience this phenomena.
William is married to his expecting wife Margaret, who is also in medical school to become a nurse and who has a passion for theatre and the arts. Upon their graduation and before the birth of their child, they both plan to take part in an expedition, along with some of the other Miskatonic faculty, to either the deserts of Australia or the mountains of the Himalayas, in search of ancient ruins and artifacts.
Mr. Clemmons also makes reference to the medical conditions of various patients at the sanitarium, stating how some of them are suffering from extreme paranoid delusions such as believing tin foil will protect them from nefarious entities that are out to harm them. He also makes mention of a local repairman, and towards the end of the session talks about his brother, who is in the pharmaceutical field, and who was involved in a serious accident of some kind that left his face disfigured.
Of course, with all that being said, I must implore to you, dear reader, that this could all very well be just one possible history in a series of alternate timelines, or perhaps worse than I fear: a strange dream from which you cannot awake.
Sincerely,
L. S.

What is ASMR? It is both a sensation and a medium.
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer.
Many people who do not experience ASMR still enjoy the videos for their calming and sleepy effect.

Rift world more expansive than most tv shows nowadays
maxy waxy 😍 omg true
Jamal Kamal 😂
I always thought it was called The Rift Verse
i'm just a pussy
Jamal Kamal The head was a reference to how clemmons experiments on his patients
He had his beard in the last video and now he doesn't. He shaved his facial hair just to appear to be a younger version of Clemmons. That's some damn fine commitment right there, Uncle E.
Hei Lee gg
It is crazy how you can go from badass to babyface with just a simple shave
@@Jackaxed Maybe the beard is A FAKE!!!
Indeed
Jake Caratacus unless it’s super glued then no
Rift World lore keeps expanding, and I love it
Only problem is that I'm pretty much wide awake now, because these new story elements got me all excited...
Physically I'm still deeply relaxed after this though. So in a way it's actually win-win!
Mitch Ephemeral rift should write a book about rift world... would be awesome :]
Mitch it's like the universe
Ultimatecore Yeah, a book would be pretty cool, but I'd prefer a comic. With all his elaborate costumes gritty comic-style versions of his characters would look amazing!
Kalimer0 Comics would be a good idea but i prefer it being a book because of all the videos being ASMR thus making Rift world the book a better option...for me at least ^^

Someone should make a time line, and a thread of relations between the several characters. Would be interesting.
_ DANOFFX _ I used to be obsessed with this channel and literally drove myself insane each night trying to put the pieces together.
Red Eyes Did the pieces fit?
ER liked this after 2 years of this video being released 🥺🥺🥺
@@aidanrocha2043 I KNOW.....they do
The rift world isn't bound by normal laws of time and space, and it doesn't seem to be a clear, linear narrative.
Writing a timeline for this relaxing fellow's universe seems a bit like writing a timeline for SCP. Pointless, and nearly impossible.

LunarSkyWolf7 So, is this video canon? Like, is it legitimate backstory for all the characters? I'm new to this channel and I'm totally confused!
please, please pursue a movie career or something in the film industry you're really talented and so unnoticed

On the other hand we don't want ER corrupted or worse by the Hollywood scum.

If people are wondering, I believe that charlie (Carl) is actually Clemmons's son. If you watch previous episodes; Charlie (Carl) mentions that his father works at a SCP facility and he even has a Mug with the logo on, which presumably Professor Clemmons gave him. This also links with Professor clemmons's desk name plate which has the SCP logo on it, and I believe that he mentioned that he was part of a SCP Facility. This explains why Charlie (Carl) is so closely monitored by Clemmons, which may relate to him being socially awkward. This might also explain why everybody is looking for him when he went missing, They were forced by Clemmons. He might also be so important to Clemmons because he might have been imbued with powers from some of the ancient ruins or artifact when Clemmons and Margret when she was pregnant visited either the deserts of Australia or the mountains of the Himalayas. And this is why he makes everybody try to find him.
Irony just for you That is... the best theory about rift world that I've heard in a while! A round of applause for this man/woman!
He went in the Himalayas with his colleagues, professor Frank Pabodie and professor William Dyer, whom he killed during this expedition (one might assume) and declared that they died in a ''tragic'' accident. Coincidentally, Professor Clemmons and his wife were also reported to be dead during that ''tragedy''...
Irony just for you It's a good theory, however for me I just keep thinking that Margaret lost the child which is why she ended up so "crazy"
@Hugoo Lafortune: In the "Mountains of Maddens" by Hp Lovecraft. Professor William Dyer find out that the Elder Things (One of the antagonists of the story) had somehow returned to life after slaughtering his colleagues. Maybe Clemmons found a way to restore Margret and Himself back to life when they get Killed, This supports the theory that Charlie (Carl) may be embude with some sort of reserection power because he was brought back to life while still in the womb and developing. Or maybe both Clemmons and Margret died than got possessed or took over by one of the Great Race of Yith (an extraterrestrial species with the ability to travel through space and time by switching bodies with hosts; From the Hp lovecraft book "The Shadow Out of Time") While in the temple. Hp Lovecraft does not mention the Great Race of Yith in the "Mountains of Maddens" but it could be deduced that because there is a high population of interdimensional beings, That the Race of Yith is drawn to the mountains. And that is why Professor Clemmons acts more subdued and methodical in later videos. This could explain why Charlie (Carl) may have powers because Margret was possessed by one of the Race of Yith and that the Race of Yith has somewhat Mystical powers which may be embedded in Charlie (Carl) in the womb.
Chances are Herbert West has something to do with bringing someone back from the dead, since he was explicitly mentioned, and he's the titular character of Herbert West - Reanimator. The story contains the first mention of Miskatonic University as well.
You are seriously so talented, dude

Little did William know that his wife was actually a middle aged man named Paul.
Randomly Average Logan???
What a coincidence, since Clemmons is ALSO a middle aged man... named...
Wait...
Darlaimerner don’t tell the media
perfect 90s love drama story if you ask me
He name is Paul spanur
Please keep expanding your rift world, it gives your videos something every other asmr artist lacks.
Maybe thats why your my favorite asmr chanel.
Or it could be the fact that i m just weird.....
Harrison Gooch amen
Harrison Gooch who has a problem with uncle E?
William Schoemig ive heard something about that tirar daguillo or smt having issues. but i might be totally off on that. and i wouldnt know what problems they would have with EP. although i do not know EP personally i believe hes a legit nice hardworking and respectful guy. so whatever could be going on. or was going on. couldbt be that bad (atleast id like to believe that)
anyway. i saw that in a comment a few months back... so yeah. long story short. "couldnt tell ya......"
That Solemn Gamer interesting. Thanks for the effort!
you cant not love ephemeral rifts lore
Can someone explain what lore means????? Argh!
Major Matt Synonymous with story or plot essentially
eric greene its so good that i hate it because i know i could never create somthing that amazing 😭
I remember when Professor Clemmons was Mr Clemmons, a slightly unwell man in a dressing gown who loved his cutting mat
Usually don't comment, just a silent watcher that enjoys your content, but kudos on your work here (and in general of course). Secretly love seeing these potential insights or possibilities into lore or just versions of it in general. You're a dedicated man, and your work reflects that as always, stay awesome.
if he ever wrote a book about the people and the events in arkam or the rift i would read it in a heart beat. *wink* *wink*

I would love a video in the style of the first few minutes of this one. Jump cuts like that, and moving from topic to topic and back and forth is one of the best triggers for me; I guess it comes from trying to follow along and rearrange things in the right order in my head? Either way, I don't see many videos like it.
Marno ASMR, the asmr roleplay where you dont know what roleplay it is, 1 thru 4
"He was so vibrant and full of life before he lost his mortality"
@@fuseki23 think it is both intentionally because either:
1. This Prof. Clemmons is still a normal human being before the Nyarlatothep replaced him or took him over.
2. He's the resident in Arkham Sanitarium that is, he's a patient whom he lost his sanity over the death of his wife
Doctor Clemmons has changed quite a lot throughout the years.
He used to be a nice guy. Don't trust him nowadays!

I love that all of this is just one big love letter to H.P. Lovecraft, with Arkham being an integral setting in Lovecraft's writing. The meteor is a reference to the story *The Colour Out of Space*.
Note: Innsmouth and Herbert West are also references to Lovecraft.

Okay but YESS
Watching your videos is always a catch-22. I watch the videos to help me sleep at night, but when I'm listening I don't want to fall asleep so that way I don't miss any of the story. Oh well, who needs sleep then!
that intro was genuinely one of the best introductions on TH-cam, let alone in ASMR
wait if your brother's face was disfigured then is that why the plague doctor which is your BROTHER dosen't take off his mask?

Kenneth Keith Munar Wait what? Is this professor Clemmons then?
alpha deletoz yeah corvus clemmons *drops intense beats*
Kenneth Keith Munar DUN DUN DUUUUUN!!!
Kenneth Keith Munar no thats wrong he wheres the mask because hes got a very embarrising pimple that never goes away
But...but.. i tought the professor was a very ancient being ! Now since he's all young and naive in this video, it makes me believe that he's some kind of shapeshifter or if that is in fact the original Clemmons, a human mortal along with young Margaret, but after he delved too deep into the eldrich knowledge, he and his wife were actually replaced (or possessed) by Nyarlathotep and thus, eventually, all the Rifts opened, leading to the post-apocalyptic/fallout timeline with the Candyman, Scavenger , Mordecai and others. After that the evil entity finally leaves his body, letting him in complete madness just like we see in the Mr. Clemmons/ the Seer videos. I wonder....
;-)
ER, this is fucking amazing man. Your editing skills and creativity have grown month by month since I started watching your videos. Go back and watch a video from when you had 10k subscribers and then watch the intro to this again. You've made insane growth and I wish you all the best.
is it a tough gig being a genius?
I wouldn't know.

I'm noticing the professor is not as subdued as we have come to expect. Maybe that means he's been altered either chemically or physically since he graduated. hmmm...
Comeuppence Network I think the meteor may have something to do with it.

I am absolutely blown away with how young he makes himself look, it's mind-boggling how talented of a writer, actor, director, cameraman, editor, and makeup artist this man is. This video makes me want to dive into the lore of this world more than Dark Souls did, it's just as cryptic, and with the addition of this video, deep, given the radical shift in perspective, like a psychological thriller, almost. This video was the most unexpected thing I have ever seen, like a surprise Christmas gift your parents hid from you that they didn't even tease you about. God bless you for being such a fantastic artist, Uncle E. God bless you for tying the world together in a wonderful Christmas bow while making it just as analytical as Steven Universe. At this point, I think that's a very apt comparison, given how much hype I and the rest of the fandom received from this video and how happy we are to get a video made of complete lore while still being as entertaining and artistic as a regular video. This should be made into an ASMR series on Netflix or something like that, it more than deserves it, as long as this genius has full creative control, it will turn out a masterpiece.
"The Rift" I can't sleep, your channel is deep. I Love it here.
Thank-you so much for your endless creativity~~

ER should make a video playing a fan obsessed with theories surrounding Rift World (as if its a tv show or book series) and talking about it
OK my results are in. I don't experience ASMR. Huh. Well these videos are very relaxing and interesting what with all the lore, characters and simply the world this brilliant man has created. I have always had a feeling when watching Mr. Rogers as a child to cooking shows to this channel but never have I experienced "tingles". I have heard of them but never felt them. I show my brother 1 count em ONE video and he says he feels tingles. The strange thing is however, I still feel something... Not tingling but there's always this surreal feeling when hearing or seeing shows that... trigger me. Anyway that was my spiel about my lack of tingles, hope you go watch mister rogers and say me too!
I'm so glad that the Rift World takes place in Massachusetts, my home state!!!!
I hope one day Netflix and ER collaborate to make a tv show because I can't get enough of this lore rich world he has created !
Idk why but your profile pic is making me laugh really hard.
*begins frantically moving pins and strings on conspiracy board*
Man, Rift. I keep coming back to your Clemmons and Frank Walker videos. They just hit the spot for me.
Thank you thank you thank you for everything that you do! You probably already know, but this can't be told too many times: Your work is SO appreciated!
We need this collab
Dr. clemmons + Dr. Andrew Michaels+ Dr. T
"My brother has a disfigured face... How did that make you feel?"
Me: wait what
Me: oh this is the intro
My answer:
Well, I've seen some crap
Ok, so from what I've gathered, this is the real Professor. The one we know only came into existence after an eldritch being took over his body after he found a relic on the trip he mentions here.
What happened to Margaret, and the baby, I don't know, still working on that.
HE has such great quick thinking by alerting us that his camera had a low battery by saying he needed to take it to the repair shop. Then, the video slowly fades away because his camera died. How clever.
... Questions about the lore, Mr Rift. Only 3. So far...
1: Did Margaret lose the baby, or is your son going to appear in an Asylum video at some point in time?
2: Did the doctors, nurses and other employes at Arkham go insane? Or are they simply quirky?
3: Are we ever going to get a new patient to "visit"?
El Hongo Galáctico the son is iggy right? Since Margeret is his "auntie-mother"
I actually mean RIft´s son. He appeared in his death videos.
so E.R's son? not the professors? (who is married to Margaret)
Exactly. I mean ER´s son. He couold easily act as Margaret and Clemmons´s son.
I'm pretty sure Charlie "Carl" Clemmons is the Professor and Margaret's kid. Also Iggy's mom is Margaret's sister, not Margaret herself. So, probably Iggy's mom is Martha.
I love this style of video. It's unique and super relaxing.
Jesus Christ, this intro is so good. Four years with ER and this creates an incredible feeling of how deep ER's world is and how much I am connected with this world. It's like a series of books or a role playing game. Story, memeries, characters. I am so happy that this story is not over yet. For a thousand time, thank you.
Just when I think he can't get any better from the last he tops himself again!!! Thank you for another great one!!! I never get tired of watching.
The info in the description reminded me of reading the Series of Unfortunate Events. Lemony Snicket was always fucking with the reader.
Dr Clemmons is married to Margaret. I'm going to guess that she wears the mask still because it reminds her when of she was young. Corvus was disfigured, most likely in some sort of medical tests he performed on himself. Question, have we ever met Dr Clemmons and Margaret's child? If not, I theorise that possibly the child was lost during birth. Margaret either still wears the mask, because it reminds her of before their child died, or because it makes her feel young, instead of old, which by now she likely is. After the possible loss of their child, Dr Clemmons tried to get his mind off the subject by becoming the head professor in Arkham Sanitarium. His brother tried to comfort him, but realised that his brother was now a broken man, and no longer the same brother he knew growing up. Corvus loved his brother too much to leave him in charge of an asylum and have to deal with Margaret, who by now has gone blind (I can't think of a reason as to how she became blind sadly, perhaps she went mad after she lost her child and accidentally caused her blindness) so he tried to help his brother in the only way he knew, by helping him with the asylum. The caretaker is an old friend with Dr Clemmons, possibly dating back to university (they are likely friends due to Clemmons referring to him by a nickname, however it is possible that he is just that, the caretaker) and so is Manley's aunt, who got him the job at the asylum. This is a good starting point for a "Rift-World" theory, take ideas for your own theories if you would like to.
I got this from the brief montage at the start of the video.
Daddy Trump How would you incorporate the Rift Walker lore into this?
H.E. C.R. My current theory is either Dr.Walker was an old friend of Professor Clemmons, perhaps one of his acquaintances who joined him on the hike, or he was a patient at the sanitarium who wanted to help and show he wasn't violent. I personally think the first is more possible.
I never comment on videos. but what you do on a day to day basis truly means a lot to me. thank you for all that you do!
Phenomenal intro! I love it when we're treated to more Rift World lore.
Thank you, Uncle E!
Rift, I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, Thank you.
Relaxes with extreme attention to detail.
transition from tapping, to scraping cardboard had a good response. calm conversation throughout is very relaxing, and helps produce the tangling sensation. You have a great understanding of asmr. I hope this feedback helps you. thank you.
This video is like a time capsule of nostalgia to me. Because it's so long and genuinely entertaining, I usually didn't remember enough of it from falling asleep to not want to listen to it, so I did more than any other video, and now it's very nice to have that again. Thankyou.
That montage at the start is so good holy maccheroni
Great vid Uncle E. I was wondering if it's at all possible we'll see a return to the "Letters from the apocalypse" series maybe in the future?
EDIT: I realize you have a lot more subs now but maybe something just for your patreons?
It is amazing how by just saving an changing to a more eager and happy face, that he makes Professor Clemmons look so much younger!
holy shit, I have been genuinely curious about the lore to his series, this is amazing, such creativity! Thank you Uncle E, Great job!!
write a book, make a TV show, or a movie just sOMETHING PLEASE I NEED MORE OF YOUR LORE 😂
If only Clemons knew he would take over Arkham
Seriously, Rift, this is probably one of the most informative and relaxing videos you've made so far. You teased so many times with little quips of information, that it left me wanting more, but in the good way. I like the youth of the pre-trauma Clemmons. It made me wonder if I've missed a video where you explained the adventure trip. There's lots here, and it's way more than just ASMR. Thank you much, you clever and creative bastard you.
This is my favorite video of yours, for a few reasons, one is the black and white. For whatever reason, it is VERY relaxing. Another one is the editing at the start. As a younger viewer, it brings my attention to the sound, and not anything around me. Therefore, I don't have to worry about staying up because of any scary content I may have watched before bed. Yet another is the voice you use. I think you nailed it with that, to. I know you'll never see this, but still, nice job.
OH! This is Professor Clemmons! The one of the room 333!
ER: *Shaves Beard*
ER: I need to make a Professor Clemmons Video today!
ER: *Looks in Mirror*
ER: *Thinks about anonymous and unknown past of Clemmons*
ER: Fuck it that'll do.
as someone who constantly doses off and makes up crazy universes of my own, i applaud you. Your creativity is on another level, you've made something incredible that i'm interested in. You've developed the story enough to where i can follow along and enjoy how your lore works. Good show my good sir, good show.
Great stuff rift, would love to see more lore expanding vids like this. Also the music in the backround in the intro was a nice addition
*reads description*
who is L. S.?:0
Mark Schröder I thought it was a reference to Lemony Snickett
AJ Robinson Holy crap is that cannon?
@AJ Robinson lol he didn't get it
does anyone have a reccomended order to watch rift world
Brennan I do. All of them at once
Yep! But it depends on which character's timeline you want to follow
@@tabithathecat do you have one for corvus? I love him
@@James-wi9un Mhm! If you wanna do what I did, you see Corvus in one of his medieval appearances, and befriend him, either through travelling into the past from a time still some way before the present, or through actually being from that time and being immortal. In an accident, or being experienced in riftwalking, you travel far into the future, and find a very familiar plague doctor doing video diaries on TH-cam. You try to research Arkham Sanitarium, however, and there is nothing. And so you travel around, looking for clues, yet you still need some sort of lodging, so decide to riftwalk again, and find yourself in Arkham, Massachusetts. You find a small house near the mall, and set about making yourself at home for the night, yet somebody beats you to it so, in a fight, you manage to lock them away, yet find the place a mess, with things broken and blood everywhere. You go and shop to clean up, and get a taste of the place's culture, yet are forced to shoplift, caught by Corvus, and taken to Arkham Sanitarium, where you are inducted and meet all the staff. You can space out Corvus's videos every week or so, bar the ones for Christmas and stuff, which are then viewed nearer to the occasion. There are playlists for things like the Peculiar Plastic Pouch Predicament, or What's In The Box, I think, and I'd recommend watching The Face Puncture Experiment as a prequel to Removing Sharp Objects From Your Face. Now, when you run out, set an appointment for whenever he's free, and see what happens, and in the meantime see Margaret, or Dave.
Having an ASMR jump cut vid might be a cool thing to do.
The sewing part 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Instant mind-melting tingles, soooo gooood~
i LOVE the lore expansion, so good too. Ugh this was a great vid!

SO HE WAS THE PROFESSOR!
This is so cool. Also seeing / hearing a young character vs an older one and noticing the differences is always so cool. I love how even the voices are different. The acting is so good!
Rift, I barely comment on anyone's videos, but I had to tell you how much I enjoy the Clemmons brothers. I just watched the intro to this video and it feels like I'm seeing the origin of any great character on par with Elminster or Vader. You've made a wonderful world here, and I am so excited to see where the professor came from.
Haha well thank you very much for commenting. I appreciate the kind words. We'll see where we go from here! ...
SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE AN MMORPG OUT OF DADDY RIFT 'S WORLD! NOW
Dr. Tingles squuad-droid up📣🤖
Casual Acquaintance TECHNICAL
Casual Acquaintance Finally someone else from Tinglebot industries
H.E. C.R. Sometimes you gotta get out of the Tingle Lab or AlphaDroid 16 flips his shit when its over crowded!!
😂😂 Very true
I have been watching you for some time now....I've been watching ASMR for about 2 years now and you are the best I have found.....The ASMR is fantastic and the ideas and worlds that you create are even better. I read a comment about someone wanting you to pursue a movie career and if you're into that type of thing i think it would be absolutely perfect....you have just the talent for something like it
Clean shaven! Still tingling from this one, excellent! The cardboard especially got to me this time. Nice to see a possible Arkham / Rift past when it was safe to accept a drink from Clemmons. :) The intro music kind of made me crave a cup of coffee and a slice of pie.
IF IT ISN'T MY FAVORITE DERRANGED PROFESSOR!!,
love that this could just be an alternate reality
Geethan Viswathasan I think it's just a origin
Frederik Mortensen the description says it could be that, or an alternative universe at the bottom(after some story telling)
I remember when this video was brand new. This was the best, watched it over and over
Love the off beat video cutting 8D it keeps a sort of pleasant suspense, I find, where I can't quite predict what comes next.
"He took your girl, Rick... He took your dreams... And he took your life..."
Is Charlie the son of Margaret and Clemens?
Theorized to be
Superbly done on all accounts. This may be the best ASMR video ever made when it comes to voice quality.
The beginning with the music and the jump edits hit me so hard, 10/10 would tingle again.
The plot thickens!
Mcchllc McChill I didn’t know you had a plot
What if they did tests on the person we play as in this video ,
And they went wrong and put us in a coma, and all his characters in his videos are the dreams we have in the coma, and they give us the asmr effect because of the tests, ands this video is before the tests
Mind blown
The Rift World and lore is becoming increasingly interesting. Soon I won't be able to relax to these videos due to them being so intriguing :P
Jk. I will always fall asleep to ER's stuff. Literally one of the best. Keep it up, uncle E
God I love the rift world lore. And it’s all so well made!
