I personal think a little differently about the dead marshes. I don't think that the marshes were filled with living dead, but the illusion of living dead.
Then again, bodies preserve very well in marshy areas. Have you heard of the peat bog mummies? The moist environment would prevent rapid decay that would take place otherwise in the open air.
And the light thing, I do not think it would be a indication of draining the living, but definatly luring. Why remain in torument when you drag others with you. Misery loves company.
Just some thoughts.
