Alright, it really depends whose path I would take after Amon Hen and the breaking of the Fellowship, since they all went different ways.
I'd definately be fine sticking with Merry and Pippin, since I love forests and don't mind water (the two things that prevailed over their journey in TTT). In the case of Aragorn and the others, the Paths of the Dead would be a little traumatizing, but the ghost/wights that Tolkein describes wouldn't intimidate me very much. As I said, the sheer vastness of Gorgoroth and the foreboding darkness of Mordor would make me lose it. Its not a phobia as much as it is a simple mental deficiency.
