TheWoWDBAs with the old version of this quest, make sure you (not your pet, party member etc.) get the killing blow on the zombies/ghosts to get the information from them.

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
As a demonology warlock, these quests are extremely hard. Not because the mobs are hard to kill, infact they go down quite easy, but because we rely on our pets so much the pet will often score the KB and we wont get credit, same on the frogs.
My advice is to put pet to passive and just take it slow and steady.
For any demonology warlock looking to do this in MoP, things just got even more difficult due to Wild Imps. This may change later on, but for now the imps seemingly do not go onto passive but stay on defensive. Since Incinerate is now destro only, you will have to find a way of killing the risen mobs without using your SB so that you don't end up summoning any imps (trust me, 5+ imps makes getting the killing blow nigh impossible). I used Soul Fire instead. Irritating as hell, but not game breaking.

Description
I traveled out here to pay Jarl a visit at his new home and it's been a nonstop horror show ever since! There's something seriously wrong here and I can't be the only one who sees it... Have you seen the ghosts and corpses shambling about Witch Hill? I've a feeling that if anyone knows what happened here, it is them. Seek out these risen husks and risen spirits in the surrounding area, grant them rest through combat, and see what you can learn from them before this evil consumes Jarl!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hungry as an Ogre!
You meet some people out here sometime. Nice people. Met an ogre once. Ogres get hungry just like me. I'll never forget what he said. He said "Mud big ogre. Me hungry. Go bash fishy. Bring Mud food. You feed Mud or Mud eat you." So I got him those fish and he ate 'em up. That's when I started too.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Witch's Bane
In my years as an herbalist, I've often observed that nature will provide subtle cures to the most vexing of problems. I've read that hedge mages and witch doctors often use the smoke of an herb known as witchbane to draw evil from its hiding places.
