Beware the Barrow-wights and other monsters that live in barrows.
And some of those Barrows may be doorways to worlds best left alone.

Watch out for the Barrow Wights.

"Barrow-wights are wraith-like creatures in J. R. R. Tolkien's world of Middle-earth, based on Old Norse beliefs such as Draugr or vǣttr (wights). Barrow refers to the burial mounds they inhabited and wight is a Middle English word for "living being" or "creature", especially "living human being"."

It was all fine until either Samwise or Frodo picked up the gold, I can’t remember.

In Texas they call the road ditch a borrow or barrow pit, or a bar ditch.
Figure it must be somehow derived from the English “beorg” or “bearwe”, which a person could research.
Then again he could just go fishing.
To: SunkenCiv
I’m scared of barrow wights. Otherwise I’d want to go there.
