Well, it's just that. The Nazgul made people shake in their shoes with horror and dread. Especially when they cried their cries. Even animals felt it.

Ok thank you for explaining that to me. I felt dumb having to ask but sometimes I just have to ask stupid questions.

What the books and movies failed to elaborate on is the reason for the extreme fear generated by the Nazgûl. They themselves were afraid of water, and as a consequence, hadn't bathed in over two thousand years.

The Elves could withstand them because the noses of the Eldar were for ornamentation only.

Precisely: PJ NEVER understood the fact that the Nazgul are ALL about fear. It's what they ARE. Clueless overage little boy. Watch his stupid children's films without knowing the book, one would never even get an inkling of it.
