Tammy Norrie Summary

Tammy Norrie: The Hoose Daemon of Seahouses by William Hershaw

My name is Tammy Norrie - I am a hoose daemon, spirit, invisible ghost - eel, animus - whatever you choose to call me. I bide in and haunt an old fisherman's cottage called Jonah's Neuk at Seahouses on the cold windy coast of Northumberland. Sadly, the generations of fisher folk who lived in former days in Jonah's Neuk have all set sail for Fiddler's Green now. Belle, Willie The Scotsman, Old Hilda, Young Bert, Young Hilda, Doris. Only me left here. Me and Nicey. The house was sold eighteen months ago after Young Hilda passed away at the age of one hundred and seven and converted into a holiday home for tourists who come to the North East. But not as regularly as the new owner, Farquhair Tinkerson, hoped when he had the house renovated for his modern holiday clients. -
