^_^ I meant the hope that was instilled in the hearts of the hobbits. Not the sunlight. It could be easy to hide from...but the hope in which the song Tom Bombadil sang. The only way a wight could steal a body is by crushing their will to live, and then ridding the bodies of a soul in which their own could be harvested.
I spent an arm and a leg on a handy little book called "Tolkien: The Illustrated Encyclopedia" By David Day. It is a pretty impressive book and even has some handy maps and time lines and things. ^_^ I recomend it to all LOTR lovers. The feature of the Barrow-downs and the Barrow-wights are in FOTR. After they leave Bree if I am not mistaken. ~~Daegwenn

Over the cobbles he clatters and clangs in the dark inn-yard. And he taps with his whip on the shutters, but all is locked and barred. He whistles a tune to the window, and who should be waiting there But the landlord’s black-eyed daughter, Bess, the landlord’s daughter, Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair" Highwayman Alfred Noyes |
