That myth...
Last thing I read was a Lotr fanfic where basically the only difference is Thorin Oakenshield and other dwarf ghosts can talk to Gimli... Middle Earth is Not a very safe place to be!
And right now while typing I'm watching a youtube playlist with tips on how to survive various horror movies. On the one hand, I end up in a random horror movie, on the other, I'll end up with the host of the show, who will definitely eat me at the slightest hint of trouble.
