Not so much a glitch, but a . . . tactical error. I was testing "Become Ethereal" to see if it was affected by "Unyielding Force", so I waited until one of the Greybeards was meditating at the outlook rock behind High Hrothgar. Every once in a while, he would stand up, and yell, "Fuuuuuuuss... ro DAAAH!!!" at the edge of the cliff. I thought, perfect. A good do-or-die scenario. If it works, sweet. If not, I pay the price for my cavalier testing methods. Since the Greybeard won't shout if I've been standing in front of him, I wait for him to become locked into the stand-and-shout animation, and as soon as I get into position, I yell out, "Feim!" I must report that while the test went swimmingly for me, unfortunately, poor Lydia followed dutifully after me, like a good housecarl, and was knocked off of the ledge by the blast. I was in third-person perspective as I ran over, to better ensure my placing, and I saw her run over just in time to get blown off of the tallest mountain in Skyrim. I dashed over to the ledge to see her lifeless body tumble down the mountain until it was out of view. I turned around and saw the Greybeard casually sit back down and meditate, then get up and walk away from the scene of the crime like a hoss.
Okay, real glitch time. The funniest thing I saw that was a genuine glitch was watching someone tumble down a steep slope after getting hit by "Ice Form", and going nuts jerking around all over the sky before disappearing. See, not as funny.
