Hmmm. I thought I had already posted this, but it seems to have dissapeared (it probably happened when I accidentally posted it twice and then deleted a copy of it) My crazy theory on the wights is that (if one follows the idea of orcs being elves twisted and corrupted by Morgoth) they are the "missing link" between elves and orcs. They are still elves, so they had the choice whether or not to go on after they died, and they are orcs, so they wanted to stay and cause evil. This of course is just my crazy theory, but, well, whaddyanow, some of ya'll might actually like it.
