Machimoodus State Park "Sunrise State Park" Cave Hill Resort Bailey Beach Bashan Lake Noises Moodus is infamous in Connecticut for strange noises coming from the woods which have been termed "Moodus noises", and are attributed to shallow micro-earthquakes. The noises can be heard most strongly from Cave Hill, located next to Mt. Tom and owned by the Cave Hill Resort. In the book Legendary Connecticut, author David Philips asserts that the Moodus noises were the source of an indigenous religious cult important to local Native Americans. Local Algonquin chiefs would gather around Mt. Tom in order to experience the living presence of the god Hobomok. Pequot, Mohegan and Narragansett tribes participated with this cult, and according to local Alison Guinness, the Wongums were involved as well. Hobomok was considered the spirit of the dead and worshipped by the tribe that inhabited the area. The Puritans that came to inhabit the area considered him evil. However to the native people he was more like a Zeus, or a Hades, a god that can do good or bad, depending on what mood he was in. The Moodus noises were the basis for the otherworldly noises in H. P. Lovecraft's “The Dunwich Horror”. The local high school's athletic teams are dubbed the "Noises".
