According to the Quonahassitis tribe, a demon called Hobomock inhabits the granite ledges outside the Boston Light in Cohasset, MA. These rocks are notorious for damaging ship hulls and claiming lives. The lighthouse that was erected to prevent the overwhelming amount of wrecks supposedly had some spirits of its own, all believed to be the ghosts of light keepers past.
The first keeper drowned after his boat capsized a few months after he started the job. Robert Saunders, the second keeper, only lasted a few days on the job before he, too, drowned.
The Boston Light had been in service a little over a year when the keeper at the time left his 2 assisants in charge the morning of April 11, 1851. While he was gone an intense gale moved in from the northeast, preventing him from returning to his post. On April 16th, people were awoken by the non-stop ringing of the fog bell out at the right house. The next morning, the building was gone. One of the unfortunate assistants washed up on Gull Rock Island's shore; the other was found in Nantucket. Hobomock had struck again.
