Clickable: (What is up with the 'doubleu'?!) the system won't let me post links because i havn't posted enough.... I'm a serial lurker - been here for years! isnt a revenant the same as a barrow wright? Barrow-wights are from Tolkien, right? Weren't they like wraiths? Revenant is an old english word for some one who returns from the grave - but physically, not just their spirit.
