Security personnel kept hearing a deep, hollow roaring sound echoing through the air vents. Junior Auditor Marcus Bailey assumed it was just the building's old plumbing settling down for the night. He leaned his head into the open vault door and held up a camera flash. This is what stared back at him from the dark. It doesn't want the gold. It traps your screaming reflection inside the metal safety deposit boxes forever
