A Haunting in Hillsbrad

A Haunting in Hillsbrad is a Horde-only quest for level 7-30 in Hillsbrad Foothills. It is step 37 of 39 in the Hillsbrad Foothills storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Hillsbrad Foothills at 61.9, 84.4. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience.

Description

The battle over Dun Garok was the bloodiest of all the Hillsbrad battles. The dwarves, outnumbered ten-to-one, fought until the bitter end. Every last one of 'em died in defense of that piece of land.

Now I hear claims that the place is haunted. Nobody wants to go near it! Unfortunately I have orders to prepare Dun Garok for habitation.

Could you do me a favor and go to Dun Garok and search for evidence of a haunting? It's far to the southeast.

Don't make the same mistake i did and go into the keep, needlessly slaughtering tons of ghosts and looking around, all you have to do is come into range with Captain Ironhill's Ghost who is patrolling near the entrance of the keep.

I saw Captain Ironside when I first got there. The question mark over his head was grey. He gave me a message to explore the Keep and let him now if it was inhabitable. I went in and when I came back out I could complete the quest.
