What Are The BARROW-WIGHTS? | Middle Earth Lore

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Today we bring you a bonus video as we look at one of the more horror type creatures from Tolkien's world! We look at the undead creatures that occupied the Barrow-downs, the Barrow-wights! They appear as shadowy figures with a pale, icy light gleaming from what would be their eyes. They speak with deep, hollow and cold voices, which would freeze the bravest hearts. But just how did these wights come to exist in this area?
Let's explore what information we can find on this!
