Just for a talk about wraiths, if no one else understands them...
And barrow wights!

I think the ringwraiths are cool, apart from the fact that they are evil... there is only one problem, in the movie some of the horses look brown!!! oh well...

Look here for a very full and still active discussion of the Ringwraiths.

you know, originally there were Elf-wraiths as well as Ringwraiths, there were supposed to be many Elf-wraiths, but they wandered over all Middle-earth and were not under the control of Sauron

If you refer to the Houseless, as JRRT referred to them in HOME 10, I am not quite sure if they fall under the definition of wraiths as JRRT described them. They are not enslaved creatures bound to a Ring or any magical object, but simply stubborn elves whose fëar have outlasted their hroar.

I think I do, but where in Tolkien's works does it say that any existed?

A Hobbit-wraith as described would be just as the Nazgûl, as we are informed in the FotR, but weaker and under their control. So, presumably, would be a Man or a Dwarf stabbed with a Morgul-knife that stays in the wound. An Elf, I am not sure. Probably so, but I have my doubts.

What if Gollum was stabbed by a Morgul blade he'd be even more spazy than he already is

Gollum would just become a wraith. Even though the Ring has had an effect on him, he wasn't actually a wraith.

Well it's kind of difficult to discuss something that didn't actually exist.
