The Story
The coastal village of Stokkseyri has long been associated with ghost stories. One local figure is Tanga-Tómas, a name linked to tales of a restless spirit in the area.
Retellings connect Tómas with the other familiar Icelandic ghost types Móri and Skotta. Specific details differ between popular accounts, and they should be understood as folklore rather than a factual record of a death or supernatural sighting.
Visitors can explore the village and its windswept coast, but should not assume that a particular private house or shoreline location is publicly accessible.
