I believe one of the factors in the curse of Isildur was the dead themselves. They had made an oath, which are very strong in ME, and since they had not fulfilled it they did not allow themselves to rest until they had done so. Their unfinished business and associated guilt/fear caused them to be unable to rest and hang around the paths of the dead, where they made their original oath.
