The White Vault is a found footage horror fiction podcast created by K.A. Statz. The story initially takes place in Svalbard, Norway. The story follows a repair team sent to discover the source behind a mysterious signal coming from a remote Arctic research station. The team is quickly trapped by a blizzard and must survive horrors while in total isolation. They discover that they also might not be alone.
In the third season, the action moves to a cliffside in the Patagonian Andes. The fifth season returns the focus to Svalbard. The 6th and 7th season are part of a new storyline, set in a ghost town named Goshawk, located in Aroostook County, Maine.
The episodes are usually bi-monthly, each lasting about 20 minutes.
