Please explain the Barrow Downs and Wight - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Okay, this is embarassing. I know this site is the Barrow Downs and is run by the Barrow Wight, but I am not clear on what either is in the book. I kind of skimmed that chapter a while ago because I was sleepy and never understood it.

What are the Downs (physically) and why are they so dangerous? What is the Wight and why is it so dangerous? What exactly does it do to the hobbits?

My apologies to the webmaster here and everyone else who "gets it". [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Thanks in advance for answering my dumb questions.
