I hope you don't mind me digging this post up, no pun intended. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] I believe that the Barrow-Wights were not actually inhabited by spirits, human or otherwise. I think that through the power of the ring(s) the Witch King, and possibly the other Nazgul, were able to reanimate the bodies of the dead and bend them to their will. Much like the dwarves when Aule first created them, merely pupits under his power.
