The Chase Vault exists. The story is fiction. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chase_Vault

@eddi: as usual with these "unexplained facts". In general, they're neither unexplained nor facts. For example, the Bermuda Triangle counts no more disappearances than are expected for an area of ocean that large, that busy, and that weather-infested.

@Richard Bos Well, the book is an oldie after all. 1928. I downloaded it to add to my e collection of old books of oddities. "S. BARING-GOULD" on the Gutenberg Project has several from the late 19th Century. The stories make periodic comebacks and it's fun have an original source, even if all they do is record a folktale.
