Barrow-wights
Spirits sent out of Angmar and Rhudaur by the Witch King to haunt the burial mounds of Tyrn Gorhad, the Barrow-Downs.

It was a barrow-wight that captured the four hobbits as they skirted the Downs by causing a wave of confusion and cold to pass over the party. It then imprisoned them in the tomb it haunted and attempted to sacrifice them.

The wight appeared as a pale arm and spoke in a quiet, haunting murmur.
