On the point that essay makes about who broke Baldor's legs, I must say that I never thought the Dead did it, but rather, as the essay itself considers, individuals from the still-living remnant of their society (which had completely died out by the end of the Third Age several centuries later). It never even crossed my mind that the Dead were responsible.

The film isn't exactly clear on how the Dead hurt anyone anyway. They seem to just sort of wash about like the tide and things fall over. Then again I could be misremembering. I haven't watched Jackson's Return of the King in about ten years.
