Well, as best as I can tell, barrow wights are some sort of ghosts of an ancient kingdom of Men (Carn Dum) who haunt the hills of the Barrow Downs and are in service to Sauron:

Quote:

In the black wind the stars shall die,
and still on gold here let them lie,
till the dark lord lifts his hand
over dead sea and withered land.
