The Villagers you need to free are located at the general area of 79.1, 49.8 (Just south of the Keep). Usually they are cornered by a Vengeful Geist (hence the above comment) and you just need to kill that mob to set free the Villager.
Go into the house at 80,50. I got about 9 of mine in there. Just worked my way up the house.

Description
Just down this path here is Wintergarde's town square. Once a hive of activity for the citizens of Wintergarde, now a warzone, filled with murderous geists hell-bent on vengeance towards the living. In the buildings surrounding the town square are trapped villagers that must be rescued! I ask much of you, now, {name}, but you are the only soldier I can spare. Free our people. Take this path down into town square and enter those houses. Kill anything that gets in your way! Return to me should you survive.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Understanding the Scourge War Machine
We must take solace in the fact that Slinkin's death, while tragic, was for the greater good. His discovery coupled with your heroics in the mine and the samples you returned brings us one step closer to understanding the Scourge war machine. Take this package to High Commander Halford Wyrmbane.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Find Durkon!
After the Scourge breached the south wall, I ordered Cavalier Durkon to investigate the town crypt. Moments ago I was handed his report. The undead that plague us are coming from two sources: the ruins of Wintergarde, now a breeding ground for Scourge, and our very own town crypt!
