Beware the Barrow-wights and other monsters that live in barrows.

And some of those Barrows may be doorways to worlds best left alone.

"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"."
