Elizabeth Huntsinger Wolf wrote her first ghost story in between customers while working in the children’s department at a Belk's department store, but her love of ghost stories started at an early age while growing up in Manning, South Carolina. Wolf’s mother was told ghost stories by her grandmother. As a child, Wolf was told those same stories by her mother. However, her mother left out the scary stories to keep Elizabeth from having to check under the bed before she went to sleep every night.
