And I would maintain that they would not be an effective force against those amongst Sauron's army who came from the Land of Shadow and who were themselves led by those masters of the use of fear as a weapon, the Nazgul.
Simply for the sake of arguing [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] (and I'm not really, I'm just thinking this through), I would say that there would be effect on the Orcs, because those Orces weren't exactly fond of the Nazgul, were they? They gave the Orcs the shivers or whatever it was (I'm thinking of the bit where Shagrat and Gorbag are following their men to the Tower of Cirith Ungol and Sam is listening to them). And if a black winged thing could have such a scaring effect on them, what could a host of ghosts manage? I suppose it would come down to which thing held the most fear. The Witch-king, who was killed, or the host of ghosts.

But I still am not convinced that were this to work it would be constructive- for the simple reason that it would scatter the allies too (as has been said many a time...so what on earth am I talking about??? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] )
